My single box popped out of my Stargate a few days ago. I love the base set!!! Great clear pictures on the front and lovely episode synopses on the back. I'm having lots of fun reading the synopses because I'm watching the DVD issues of Season 1 & 2 right now...

But, oops! I'm short 6 cards for a complete base set, so Johanna et al at Rittenhouse will be hearing from me...
Otherwise I got the requisite number of beautiful insert cards & the following:
Gallery G2 Nana Visitor
Alternate Realities AR6 Worf
Auto A5 Nana Visitor
Auto A12 Chase Masterson



Happy Stargating!

...that these boxes are pretty well packed with inserts and good autos. I think Rittenhouse should get a for that, and having seen the picture quality at first hand I think these cards look pretty good, too.

Well after thinking long and hard ($80 is a lot of money) I purchased a box.....and came up 10 whole cards short of a base set, as well as no 'guaranteed' Gallery card. Is this some sort of record? I guess Rittenhouse don't guarantee a base set per box but is it worth writing to them on this. I bought a box for the base set and whatever else I got lucky with...no base set, whatever the quality, makes me really p***** off.

Email Rittenhouse and let them know.
I was a auto short for Farscape 3 emailed them and they said they will send one to me - just waiting on the postie now.

...but II bought a couple of packs in my local store this afternoon and for a CC3 costume card! I'm particularly pleased with this, as it's a Garak item - and Garak is my favourite character!
It doesn't come out very well in the following picture - I used my webcam (whic hexplains the quality) but it's a dark green and black woven pattern material - which according to the ckeclist on the RA website, is the second rarest of them all, at only 225!
If OWM (or Robert ) are reading this, where did it come from? I wouldn't mind a jacket made out of this material!


Oh, and I'm smiling in this one!

I've now scanned teh card so you can get a better look - it's on my website gallery too!

Congratulations, Quaint1 (Paul)!!! Wow!!!

I met Mr. Andrew Robinson at the May London Expo Con and he was a terrific chap. We had a nice chat and he consented to have a photo taken with me.

Happy Stargating!

Xst - agreed! I saw him at the Basildon show alast year and he was very friendly, despite a lengthy queue - I do have a piccy with him somewhere - I'll scan it when I remember where it is!

Oh, and xSaBx - you can be there ay John's if you like, but I don't suppose it will do yo uany good - the only person who has EVER benefitted from my pack puling power is my Sister...

Now, all I have to do is pull a Colm Meaney or Michael Dorn auto...

Ships: 5 complete sets of 9 + 15 extras.
Gallery: G1, G2(3), G3(2), G4, G6, G7, G8, G9(2).
Alternate Realities: AR1, AR2, AR4, AR5(2), AR7.
Costumes: CC2
CC3(pattern)
CC3(regular)
CC4.
Autographs: CASE TOPPER DA2

I Like this set a lot. This was my favorite Trek show aside from TOS, and it's like a trip down memory lane. High quality inserts with interesting themes. And I dig the 189 card base set. Selling these for $5.00 seems like a crime. I'd rather hold them or give them to friends.

Well Parcelforce finally delivered 2 boxes and after the UKP 30 charge this is what we found :

Box number 2157

Allies/Enemies:
B1, B2, B3, B4, B5
B11, B12, B13, B14,

Gallery:
G1 Sisko

Alternate Realities:
None

Costume:
CC2 Worf red

Autographs:
A3 Michael Dorn
A19 Cecily Adams


Box Number 7691

Allies/Enemies:
B2, B3, B4, B5
B11, B12, B13, B14,
B21, B22, B23 and B24

Ships:
S1, S2, S5, S6 and S8

Gallery:
G3 Worf

Alternate Realities:
None

Costume:
None

Autographs:

A26 Barry Jenner


Nice set ...much much better than Nemesis

You people are killing me! I need help w/ DS9 trades, and you aren't trading on the board. Am I missing something? I bought two boxes (not a case like a lot of you), so I have extras to trade ;-)
Please check my Star Trek post.
Thanks,

Um. I don't know if I ought to post this, but heck! I like boasting as much as any collector!
I was in the same store as last week (when I got the Garak costume card) and this time not only did I come away with the latest NSU (which is what I went in for in the first place) but also an A14 autograph card signed by Jeffery Combs as 'Weyoun' - the irony being this very actor is going to be at the Basildon Show on Sunday!

If xSaBx and I meet up tomorrow, I can see my hand being forcibly pointed over a table full of boxes until I get the 'vibe'...

I wish there was an envy icon I could post. That was the only costume card I did not get.

Don't be envy, be happy and enjoy the beautiful life.

Out of interest, does anyone know how limited the 'Limited' autos are? It was only when I looked in on the RA website yesterday (after the Basildon show) that I realised that A14 WAS 'Limited'!

LOL. I do try to enjoy life. Card collecting is only a portion of some of my interests. Have a good day.
