Svengoolie Card Series (2025, MeTV)

I ordered 4 boxes and received them. They are very much like retail "hanger" boxes, if you are familiar with those. Inside are 3 packs of 10 cards each, so 30 cards per hanger.

My outer cardboard mailing box was pretty well crushed, and one of the hanger boxes was, too, so I opened that one to see if the cards in the packs were damaged, and luckily, it doesn't appear so.

It is approximately a 100 card set according to the box. At least one base subset isn't numbered, though, so short of someone opening a lot of this, there might not be a full checklist readily available until MeTV or maybe Svengoolie can add one to their website.

There was one foil surface card per pack, and those look sharp. I got two cards that were serial numbered on the reverse side.

I got one dupe out of the 30 cards which is very good, but hopefully these aren't packed in repeated sequences. As it is, my chances of completing even the majority of the full set from the 120 cards I have are very low.

Anybody else get these?
Please post your results, even just descriptions if you don't do pictures. I'd like to know more about what's in these from actual pack openings. I'm assuming the "surprises" alluded to on the packaging refers to the foils and limited edition cards I got, but maybe there are autograph or even sketch cards. Svengoolie draws all the time on his show.

The packaging:


The cards:

Ok, the subsets of the base set, and chase cards seem to be:

Frightful Faces (with Retro Variant, Serial Numbered out of 300)
Memorable Moments (unknown if there is a Retro Variant for these)
Svengoolie Trivia (with Retro Variant, Not Serial Numbered)
Art Cards (with Shimmer Variant, Serial Numbered out of 700)
Svengoolie Comic Covers (unknown if there is a Retro Variant for these)
Svengoolie Foil Portraits (these have puzzle-backs. Unknown if there are non-foil versions of these)
Official Chicken Thrower Membership Card (any variation(s) unknown)

Only the Frightful Faces and Memorable Moments subsets appear to have standard card numbering. I'm going to open at least one more box of these, so hopefully, I can refine the above further.

I did open another box, and there were more 3 more of the foil cards and numbered cards, one of each per pack, so distribution of the limited cards appears consistent early on.

I ended up with 6 base card duplicates from the 60 total cards. That's not a ton of duplication from the other box, but enough to insure it'll take at least 5 boxes, maybe more, to come even close to a full base set (let alone getting all of the numbered and foil cards).
