Got 2 more boxes, will post as soon as I open them....

In regards to the bonus cards, there are at least 4 because mine are numbered B3 and B4. I read in an ebay auction (that I can't seem to find now) that there are six. I'd like to know for sure.

I got 2 hobby boxes:

Box 1
Holos: 2 & 5
Embossed: 2, 3, 5
Costume: Batman's Cape

Box 2
Holos: 1 & 4
Embossed: 1, 3, 4
Costume: Batman's Cape
Auto: Cillian Murphy

Base Sets: 3

Nice boxes Chris,esp the auto.
I can't wait for my one box to arrive.
I just know my box will have the chestplate costume as well as either Caine or Holmes auto

Well, here are another 2 boxes. I think these deserve a small explanation & many, many thanks to morenomark, who purchased them on my behalf & opened the first. He has been on fire lately - last week I posted three boxes, with the Liam Neeson Auto, which he pulled in one of the 2 boxes he opened for me - so I have to thank him again & again. I haven't sorted out sets, yet:

Box 1: (morenomark opened this box):
Hologram: # 1, 3
Embossed: # 1, 4, 4
Memorabilia: Batmobile Front Tire
Autograph: Katie Holmes

Box 2: (I opened this one):
Hologram: # 2, 5
Embossed: # 1, 3, 3
Memorabilia: Batman's Cape
Autograph: None

I think I see a trend here: 2 boxes - Katie Holmes, 3 boxes - Liam Neeson, I need to get 4 boxes to get the Gary Oldman Again, many thanks to morenomark for his hot streak

Can anyone tell me where they are finding the retail blister packs w/bonus cards?

an auction I saw states there are only 3 of these... I'd love to know what the reail count is (3, 4, 6)???

One of my hobby boxes arrived today:

One complete base set, 11 cards short of second set.
Two holos
Three Embossed
Batman's Cape

No autograph

I opened my box of Batman Begins. I got; 1 base set, 2 of 5 holos, 3of 5 foils, Batman's cape memorabilia, Katie Holms auto card.

Last Saturday, my gf bought a box of Batman Begins. She wasn't really going to buy it, but the guy at the show didn't have the type of box she originally wanted. The guy kept asking her if she wanted the Batman box. She wasn't really interested, but he kept lowering his asking price and kind of being a pest. So, she broke down and bought one for $48.

In the very first pack she opened......
Gary Oldman autograph!
She also got a Batman cape costume card (not sure if these are guaranteed one per box or not?) I am hoping she will trade the Oldman to me for something.....

Got my box today - zilch - nada - DUD - CRASH!
No costume or auto. Too depressed to list inserts. Don't care at this point....pity me.

I would email Topps about not getting a costume card in the box. Isn't every box suppose to have one?

I also thought there would be one costume or auto per box,and sometimes one each per box.

What odds are printed on the boxes?

On Topps homepage:
Hobby boxes-

Autograph cards (Odds-TBD)

Memorabilla cards (Odds-1-36)

Jane should e-mail or call them!

Are you sure that your Bonus card is B4 ? On the Star Wars set last month there were only 3, and so far on Batman I have seen just B1-B3.

If anyone knows for certain how many there are, please inform us !

I bought a Mini box at Wallfart yesterday. 9.97 for 6 packs.

Base cards - 39
Embosed Foil #2
Stickers #2,4 &6
Tattoos #3&4

Where is a good place to buy Hobby Boxes?
What is the Average cost of a Hobby Box?
What is the Average cost of a Retail Box?
Can you only get cases from the Manufacturer?

I usually pick up Topps issues at Wallfart and occasionally Quicktrip gas stations.

Meh. I just rechecked and I DO NOT have a B4. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

BTW the only place I found the blister packs with the bonus cards was KB Toys.

Odds:

Boxes are 24 packs, so when you have a minimum of 1:36 packs some boxes won't have anything (good that is).

I'm afraid you're correct, I DOUBT TOPPS would do anything. It probably works out that 2-3 boxes per case suck, and I got unlucky. As it turns out though, we had a really good pull with C&TCF today, so you win some and lose some.

Sorry, Jane. I didn't know how many packs were in a box. I think I would still call them! Everyone posting seems to got one or the other!
Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
