Don NortonAuthentic Memorabilia - Autograph Edition (The Fairfield Company)
Inspired by my recent pull, I went back to Target today and bought the last two packs of these. I don't think I'll be able to get more, now both Targets near me are out of these.
Ist pack:
PopCardz - 13 base cards, 2 materials cards, both Jessica Biel (both different)
Americana - 14 base cards, 1 Proof Kathie Leee Gifford 79/100
Auto - Brandon Quinn as Agent Murphy, Charmed Destiny
2nd Pack:
Popcardz - 12 base cards, 3 Materials cards, Lily Collins and 2 Selma Blair(both the same)
Americana - 14 base cards, 1 high number, 1 proof, Stella Stevens 264/500
Auto - Reiko Aylesworth as Kelly in Alien vs. Predator Requiem
All in all, a satisfying finish to this series. Pulling 5 Popcardz materials cards from 6 packs was nice, and I got 2 more autos I did not have.

BILLZEEWay to go Don! Good for you... and good that Target ran out so you can start saving $$ for the Holidays!

comicbookfanI was able to get 1 packet from my Target before they disappeared. I got Samantha Ferris as Nina in 4400 which made me perfectly happy since I did not have a 4400 autos and I recognized her from two Stargate episodes.

Greg GeertsMy local Target had 1 pack left today so of course I grabbed it.
I got an auto of Laura Bertram as Trance Gemini from Andromeda: ROTC
2 gold parallels from the PopCardz
And surprisingly, it had 3 packs of Americana Series One instead of
the normal series 2. I got 2 proof cards from those.

JakeI didn't realize anyone had started a breakdown list on these! wow!
Don, don't feel bad about McNulty my wife and I pulled 4 Alias A28 Raymond Barry's out of 1 Target in our area lol
Sorry I don't have a breakdown because I didn't keep track of what came in what. But the most notable pull was a Donruss Americana II High Number Proof Card of Kenny Baker #1/5. Thought that was rather unique!
If I get anymore I'll post em! All the Targets here in Vegas are loaded with about 12 each right now
November 21, 2009, 07:29 PM
Greg GeertsOK...I went to a different Target today and got the last 4 packs they had.
Here's a quick breakdown:
PopCardz - 3 gold parallels, 4 material cards
Americana II - 4 high numbers, 1 TV Stars, Rob Schneider material card
Autos:
Smallville Season 2 Jason Connery as Dominic Sanatori #A13
Alias Season 4 Elya Baskin as Dr. Joseph Vlachko #A36
Smallville Season 2 Patrick Cassidy as Henry Small #A14(again)

GG has got it bad... real bad...

November 21, 2009, 08:56 PM
Don NortonI think I've got it as bad as Greg - last night I had to drive to a place and pick up my daughter coming home from college - I drove by 2 other Targets and actually looked at my watch to see if I had time to rush in and look for another pack.
I didn't, but I am taking her back in about a week, and those Targets are still gonna be open...
November 24, 2009, 08:17 PM
Don NortonSo today I stopped in the Target that is second closest to my home. Last time I was there, I bought the last pack - now they have 12 new packs hanging up.
So, long story short:
Popcardz - 13 base cards, 1 gold card, 1 materials card (Lily Collins)
Americana- 14 Base cards, 1 high number, 1 materials card, Ring Kings Bas "El Guapo" Rutten 002/500
Auto - Samantha Smith as Mary Winchester, Supernatural

tragicendafter all these breaks...still no BIG hit with the autographs. thats too bad.
November 24, 2009, 08:45 PM
webjonNice pulls Don. . .
I keep trying to pull the Lily Collins, but now I'm trying to avoid buying more of these for a while. . .
November 24, 2009, 09:53 PM
Don NortonTragicend - I doubt there are many if any big hit autos in these. Most of these would fit in the $15-$30 bracket, and I'm okay with that. The high end autos all went to the Razor Ink Autograph packs, with the next level filling up the Razor Ink Archives boxes.
I've been pretty happy with these, even the McNulty streak turned out okay, I traded them all for cards I didn't have. Plus the materials cards from Americana and Popcardz, and occasional auto from Americana, I think these are the best bargain around.
Jon - the Lily Collins materials is a duplicate, if you want it.

webjonI agree -- there aren't any huge hits in this product, but given the autos are typically decent and the packs are typically decent it works out pretty well actually.
Don-
Sure, I'll trade for it, I have duplicates of a bunch of the others from this set -- do you need any of those?
I'm also looking for some of the gold cards -- I'm trying to put together a set and think I'm only 5-10 cards away, do you have any of those for trade?
Thanks,
Jon

Don NortonJon, Lily is yours, send me an email to let me know what you have extras of. As for the gold cards, I never got close to a set, so I traded some to Greg, who is working on a gold set. Let me know what you need of these too.
November 25, 2009, 11:56 AM
webjonSweet. . . Maybe I should trade with Greg too. . .
I need to get my lists updated, but I'll shoot you an email over the weekend.
Thanks Don!
