Bought a case at The NEC today and ended upwith 30 inserts in the 12 boxes

8 sketches plus 4 redemptions
7 autos plus 5 redemptions
6 costume redemption cards

so 6 boxes had 1 auto and sketch and 6 boxes had an auto, sketch and Costume.

still 5 autos short of a full set and 1 costume
and no Czop sketch

Hi,

No way I could post individual box breakdowns for all the boxes but the below is a summary of the high end chase pulled from 20 cases (240 boxes)

Autograph Cards - 240
Sketch Cards - 232
Costume Cards - 115

We don't collate the base sets in house so I have no idea on the collation of these yet. Although I think it is hard to make sets from single boxes, possibly a way of getting the base sets to hold value and not get dumped on eBay for 99p

I will be putting together a sketch card gallery including all the variations we have found in due course (when we have redeemed all the skethes)!

Awww Gimli, you've nabbed the info I was about to post!

Hmmm... I suppose since you actually BOUGHT the case you can get away with it!

But seriously, I am horrified that these boxes are not sealed in any way, and with the pattern of inserts we observed with Gimil's case this afternoon I would NEVER buy it from someone I didn't trust, mh002a6228, I dislike pointing fingers but either the person you bought this box from was untrustworthy and had taken the 4 most likely packs to have insert cards in them out, or you have my sort of luck at box contents

Roz i understand what your saying, but the person i bough this box from i trust 100%. I have gotten many things from him and i have got no complaints about anything!!

I just got a unlucky box, it could of happened to anyone!

In my three boxes I did have an auto (or redemption) in each. 1 box had a sletch. I could not see any simularity between boxes regarding the position of the Autos. In each case the magic pack was in a different position. So I don't see how a 'cherry picker' will know which packs to lift.

Then it's option B!

You have my luck in cards!

Ahh well - we must be lucky in love then!

Indeed

Bought one box at the NEC today!

4 Pretty in Pink cards
2 Thunderbirds to the rescue
1 Autograph- Ron Cook as Parker
1 Sketch card redemption - Warren Martinek
1 Costume Redemption- Brains Checked Shirt

Not bad for a £30 box

Anyone know if the cards are being sent out yet?

Also, is it possible to tell which sketch card you will get of Martineck's? eg Ink or Colour?

right I have sorted my case base sets and insert cards

I got 21 base sets

and NO chases sets

so in all the boxes I got even numbers of the pink subset and odd numbered cards of the other sub set I have to say that is very bad No chase sets in a whole case. Very poor and not one box contained a full set although I did end up with 21 sets with all the boxes. I would have had more but I was lacking No 60 and 62 cards and had way too many 61 and 63 so if anyone has had problems like me and want to trade drop us a line

gimli You got mail!

HEY GIMLI
SARAH & ME GOT ALL ODD CARDS p IN p
AND A MIX OF TB 2 THE RESCUE

I just finished sorting out a set from my box and am very dissapointed with base card collation.

I am still missing 27 cards to complete one set

Well we have been saying that base sets are too numerous, so that's not so bad - but no chase sets out of a case is VERY BAD. I would contact Cards Inc over that.

It was actually pretty hard to make base sets from the original series, there were 6 or so cards that were short-printed...

I don't like short prints of base cards

Got another box this morning &

Basic Set - 0 (3 Cards Short) managed to make one set with the help of my other box!

Autograph Cards - 1
Sketch Cards - 0
Costume Cards - 1

If anyone needs any basic cards to complete a set, e-mail me the numbers as i have loads spare

Well Cards inc have got the autograph shipping on this set down pat. I sent the redemption card off on Monday morning and got it back yesterday, pretty impressive. Nice card too.

Still waiting for the Brains check shirt costume card.
