RajThe remaining six boxes
Mary-Jane Watson by Joe Pekar
Punisher by Randy Martinez
Vulture by Eddie Vieira
Spider-Woman by Axebone
Aunt May Parker by Bob McLeod
Spidey by Jason Davies
I bought the case to try and get a Romita sketch so not getting one is a bit disappointing but I think I got some pretty good cards.
Being a longtime comics reader, the other artists whose sketches I wanted were Bob McLeod, Joe Rubinstein and Darryl Banks. Getting the McLeod was good.
I didn't really think that there'd be too many Aunt May cards and was surprised to get 2 in a case and was even more surprised to get just one of Venom.

weasel-kingThe Axebone will help pay for the case a little--his cards from this and X-Men Archives have sold quite well.

anthonydGreat pulls as always folks! Thanks for sharing them, of course!
Any chance someone could post a base card or two? I'm just curious what these look like. I saw the promos and liked some, didn't like others.

igman7The base set looks nothing like the promos. They have been given the Women of Marvel / X-Men Archives look and feel.
Here is a sample front and back

BatmanHere are my pulls from my boxes, I was happy to pull a Tan, the rest were ok, but not overly exciting, for whatever reason, I haven't seen a lot of sketches from this set that have caught my eye, and it was a set I was looking forward to. Go figure!

comicbookfanI opened box 6337.

I liked some of the base images from the set; really liked the Potratz & Hai inserts and was happy enough to get a Spiderman sketch on Spiderman card stock.

Thanks

weasel-kingFlash is Carlo Soriano. Left one is tougher--i can't tell if that is a signature in the bottom right or not, but there are a couple of artists who didn't sign any cards and a few more that didn't sign all of them.
