Wow, You got 3 of 4 Very Limited in 1 case. That's pretty amazing. I'd love to see if that common or not. Congrats.

the insignia badge cards are a really good idea for costume cards.

i like the backs of them, how it reminds me of 80's sets like Close encounters.

Great Job on the case breakdown! I wonder if more cases will have that many Very Limited auto cards?

Since I don't track breakdowns, this is the best I can do:

This was an interesting set. Very retro. The base set has some images I don't think we've seen on cards before. techno shots, cool ship shots and so on. I dunno why, but I love the card with the close-up of the sealed Talos V orders. It makes the nerd in me giggle.
The retro card back that makes into a puzzle is sweet. So 70ish I was looking for my stick of gum.
My fave set is the TOS Q set. I'm soft on that set, so an expansion set is cooool. Best part is, it's available in such nubmers, that it's really not going to be hard for even the casual collector to go ahead and pick it up and add it to his base set.
The Leaf exapnsion set is fiiine. Numbering system even tales over at 73. I was terribly bummed to read that the back and discover that the backs made sense. Had RA been truley commited to the idea of a Leaf set, they would have had an employee drop a little acid and then write the backs.
The badges set looks soooo good. They aren't real badges (how in the world would one find about 4000 badges, I dunno But, as a girl with magpie tendancies, they are are gold and shinny and brightly colored.
The autographs follow in the TOS style, which pleases most people very much. Although a couple of images are questionable, I actually enjoy seeing the other actors in the shot, esp for lessor known characters, it gives them context.
Finally ya'll can get off my back in regards to Kathryn Hayes, as she finally shows up in this product As do a few new faces, we were delighted to get..Robert Walker, Francis N.
We have two Nimoy items..auto'd costume card and auto card. I love the two Mirror sigs of Spock and Sulu.
I don't tend to follow closely the collation of product unless it's a massive swing one way or the other and I didn't have problems with any one card except for the Eugene card, which I only got one of in 10 cases, so I'll be looking to buy a few of those for master sets.
Oh, there weas more...portrait cards, incentives and so on, but that's enough babble for one day

Wow, those are excellent pulls! Congratulations to you and those who already shared their box breaks!

Opened my box #5375.

Quotable-#-111, 112, 119, 121
Captain Pike-# 2,4,7
Vina #-3,4, 77
Portraits-PT14 Ruk
Autos-A108, Dick Durock, A131, Garrison True

Not the greatest box but you pays you money, you takes you chance. I liked the base set and I would still buy the box. I got everything I was supposed to get.

I got a box and I got
Star Trek Portraits (1:40 packs)
PT03 Dr. McCoy

Autograph Cards (1:20 packs)
A127 Paul Comi as Lt. Andrew Stiles
A135 George Takei as Mirror Universe Sulu (Limited)

I got some Pike, Vina, & Expansion cards as well

I opened box #2972 today (it was supposed to be an Xmas present, but my wife let me open it when it came today ) I got:

Star Trek Portraits PT6 Uhura
The Cage expansion #84
Vina #'s FV1, FV2
Captain Pike #'s CP4, 7, 9
Quotable TOS expansion #'s 111, 118, 122, 125

I only got one autograph card (and it was in my second to last pack), and I would complain, except that it was Joan Collins

Obviously, I was hoping for a Roddenberry cut (who isn't?) but I'm happy with my Joan Collins. The only card I wanted more was Majel Barrett as Number One. I also purchased David Soul and Peter Duryea autographs on "the bay", and they arrived today, too. I may email Rittenhouse about the missing autograph, I may not bother. Haven't decided yet.

I love the base set -- I wish every set was as great looking as this one. Good job, Rittenhouse!

nice pull on you Joan Collins

I have opened 2 cases but the collaction of the autograph cards were very bad for me.
0 very limited autograph cards
5 limited autograph cards
43 normal autograph cards (nr.104 i have 6 times)
0 Roddenberry Jr
0 Roddenberry cut signature card
4 patch cards
The rest of the specials was according the stated odds.

Was pretty happy with the box!

Nice job Glim

Congrats on pulling Joan Collins jason00 & Glim.
Really sorry about your bad luck manolito.

My 5 boxes are being held to ransom by Parcel Force
I wondered why my parcel was taking so long.
I hope the wait (and the extra charges) end up being worth it.

Congrats Jason00 & Glim on pulling a Joan Collins autograph card! Master, nice pull as well with your George Takei auto card!

Well, I finally purchased a case and it will be arriving on Monday. I hope I pull lots of wonderful cards. I also have a binder and the Grace Lee Whitney case incentive auto card coming with my order.

Is this normal?

I opened a case of cards (12 boxes) and I got 24 'Vina' cards.

FV1 = 0
FV2 = 4
FV3 = 0
FV4 = 5
FV5 = 7
FV6 = 8

I would have thought the distrabution would be a lot more 'even'.... Anyone else find this?

Ajdedo 24 Vina cards per case is normal.
But not getting any complete set of the Vina cards is not.
I got 2 sets per case of the Vina cards.

I would ask RA if you could swap a couple of FV 5 and 6 for a couple of FV 1 and 3
