Actually, the loose packs and each of the boxes were bought from different places. I believe the costume cards are one per box.

They are 1 in 24 packs, which is a VERY different story. I've had 2 boxes in my case I'm slowing opening that had NONE and a customer of mine got a blank from another case. I've not contacted Topps yet, but I expect they won't be much help since none of their material says "1 per box" like the Star Wars sketches did.

My box did not have a costume card either.
Although it did contain the Scarecrow auto,so that kind of made up for it.I would of liked both....

I opened a box tonight

One base set
Holograms 2,4
Embossed 2,4,5
Costume: Batman's Cape
no auto

Just wanted to share my misery with everyone. Just opened an 8 box Hobby case and found no autograph cards. One box did have 2 tire cards in it so I figured one of them should have been an auto card.

Bought a box at Donnington today,

1 base set
3 x embossed
2 x foil
Costume Batmobile Tyre
No auto's

At least got a costume card in the box so happy bunny.

Well, I finally got around to finishing my case and now I know why I had been putting it off...

8 box hobby case

3 Batman's Cape Costume Cards
3 Batmobile's Tire Prop Cards
4 sets of 5 embossed foil cards + 4 extras
2 sets of 5 hologram cards + 7 extras
11 Base sets
450+ common cards that won't make a set

Probably the worst case I have ever broken. I do need to contact Topps, but I don't believe they guaranteed anything "per box" like they did with the last Star Wars releases. At best I'm probably looking at getting a couple more Capes out of the deal anyway.

I like the cards, just hate the way this one broke down.

Have topps moved their packaging company to a very hot climate or something? All of my cards were stuck together in a most annoying way when you are looking for autos

The packs also looked as though they had been packaged in a vacuum, all sucked in - is this a new preservation technique or is it just the time of year? I normally bought Topps' LOTR sets which came out at Christmas time and were never this bad

3 boxes
first 2 were mine wich yeilded the Cape Costume card and the Tyre costume card
Last box went to a friend wich Got him the Tyre Costume card and Katie Holmes Auto

Congrats on the Autograph!

Got a box today, my breakdown is:
(numbers are listed like on Allenders website)

1 complete base set + extra's
Rmbossed Foil Cards: 1, 4, 5
Holograms: 1, 4
Batman's Cape
Autograph: Cillian Murphy

very nice pull. any box with an auto in that product is gold.

Picked up a cheap box this week (for £20), basically because I wanted something to open. I didn't realise about the auto situation until my friend told me about it. Ah well. It's still fun opening packets.

I did notice a similar problem where my cards were stuck together. I had to jiggle them in the pack before opening to loosen them. But the collation in my box was very good.

I got:

1 base set
3 embossed foils
2 holograms
1 costume card (Batmobile tyre)

and in the very first pack I opened...

1 auto (Michael Caine)

wow, very cool. im tempted to buy some of thoes cheap box lots on ebay, but i just have a feeling they have been searched, like open in the case till you hit something rare/good, and sell the rest of the boxes.

congrats on getting the Caine auto

I've seen a few of these cheapies,but also skeptical about buying them.

I bought 3 of the boxes on E-Bay. I opened them last week and got total:

4 complete base sets
1 complete embossed set with 4 extras
0 complete sets of holos (missing #1) with 2 extras
3 Batman's cape memorabilia cards
0 autographs

My 3 boxes bought off ebay arrived today, im guessing we got them off the same seller, they are the only ones i know that do box lots of BB cards. De ja vu Scott, my pulls were pretty much the same.

4 Base Sets (loads spare)
1 Embossed Foil Set with 4 spare
0 Hologram Card Sets (also missing #1) with 2 spare
2 Batman's Cape Memorabilia Cards
1 Batmobile Front Tyre Card
0 Autos

Overall, i'm pretty pleased. I had already bought the Cape and Tyre card previously for cheap so mainly was out for the base and 2 chase sets and hopefully pull the chest piece and/or an auto. I'm more annoyed about not getting a full holo-card set then anything else.

The hologram cards are brilliant, they made this set for me, i love them... Now to see if i can get holocard 1...

Took a gamble on a few boxes for the higher-end chase. Bought direct from the dealer before I saw the cheaper lots on Ebay. I think it worked out for the better:

Box 1: Batman's Costume, Hologram 1,4, Embossed Foil 1,3,5
Box 2: Batman's Cape, Hologram 2,4, Embossed Foil 2,3,5
Box 3: Batman's Cape, Hologram 1,3, Embossed Foil 1,3,4
Box 4: Batman's Cape, Hologram 2,5, Embossed Foil 2.4.5, Michael Caine Auto
Box 5: Batmobile's Tire, Hologram 3,5, Embossed Foil 1,2,4
Box 6: Batmobile's Tire, Hologram 1,3, Embossed Foil 1,3,4
