BatmanNice pulls, Joanna, I had a decent case also, Michael Caine and Liam Neeson autos in my case, plus both costumes and the tire. My Neeson was signed in pen, which looked a little odd, but upon checking other images they all seem to be in pen. On the down side, I also picked up a box of X-Files Connections and got no auto card, which put a damper on my otherwise good card day. Batman rules!!

Darth Vader FanWow

you guys are having some great luck with these.
There's a big comic con coming next week here in NC. I hope some dealers have boxes of these.

leia214Had to order my hobby boxes online so I haven't gotten them yet

But I couldn't stand the wait anymore and bought a mini box! I got:
1 Hologram
1 Embossed Foil
3 stickers
2 tattoos
And only 1 duplicate common card so overall was pretty happy.
Hopefully I do as well in my hobby boxes as you all have!

Gotham95Well I got my cases in yesterday. I've opened one so far and still working on the second. In the first I got"
AUTOS:Murphy and Holmes
PROPS:1-Tire and 7-Capes
I also noticed that certian cards were hard to find. For me it was #7 and #78. I had to get to box #7 before I had a complete base set.

Over_Worked_MomI had problems with damaged cards preventing me from making a lot of sets. I think I've collated 3 sets so far and hope to do a couple more, just in case anyone wants one

SilverbackYou can send damaged cards back to Topps and I do believe they will replace them!

I think that's what I'm gonna do too once I finish with these frelling FF cards.

I'm sooo getting sick of them already.

David Rxtime, there are Bonus Cards in the blister packs ? Where can you find these ? How many different ones are there ?
I have seen the Star Wars bonus cards, but not the Batman ones.
