barobehereThe box in my shop was finished off today.
It contained the Batman Chest plate Costume-costume card(A card talker got it in the packs he purchased) and the Liam Neeson was pulled out of the box by a customer eariler today.

mykdudewent straight for ebay on this one, for less than a case I got Katie Holmes and Michael Caine auto plus a mini master set (w/ Embossed Foil Set and Hologram Set) Will pick up the cape and tire cards as they go down...I think they will be floating around for awhile.

Given the stated odds and the usual Topps poor case collation I would say there are many autograph-less cases out there.

I would like to experience that someday.
Oh and in my box I did get one full common set and 22 short of a second.A few packs had eight cards instead of seven.Unfortunately all the extras were commons.

leia214spidergoblin - my set results were about the same from one box. One complete base set and 11 short of a second set.
Also had a couple packs with too many cards - unfortunately no autographs!

I feel your pain.
I just bought a box of Batman Begins and the wrapper says odds for Memorabilia Cards 1:24. Jane. I still think you should call Topps.
In my box:
One base set
3 embossed foils-2,3,5 of 5
2 holograms-2,5 of 5
Memorabilia card-Batmans cape
Nice set.

That's OK, the dealer who sold me the box got wind of my "dud" and VERY GRACIOUSLY sent me a Batman Cape costume

RajI've opened 2 boxes and about 4 loose packs over the last couple of weeks and got the following chase cards.
No autos in either box.
All 3 costume cards - one per box and 1 from the loose packs.
4 of the 5 Hologram cards (missing No. 1)
4 of the 5 Embossed cards (missing No. 3) + duplicates of Nos. 2 & 4.

SilverbackYou have a good dealer! I'm glad to hear you got a costume card!!
