Do we start calling single-color costume cards "variants" now? Breygent seems to have reset the bar by selecting costume and prop cards that have a lot of personality whenever possible, so I don't see very many that could be called "plain." Boxes are 24 packs of 6 cards. Expect approximately 1.86 base sets of 72 per box if collation were perfect. 12 boxes per case, 3300 numbered boxes. Randomly distributed hot boxes include 11 autographs + 1 sketch. Special 2009 San Diego Comic Con boxes (numbered to 400) include exclusive costume cards, a 6-card red-foil chase card set, and additional sketch artists, with two hits per box expected and some with three including a prop card.

I just pulled Auto DA9, Costume DC12 and inserts DD2 & DB3 all from the same pack! (And I had already pulled costume DC11 from this same box). These have been the funnest cards I've ever opened!
Great box! Great product! So good, I have another box on the way.

I received my case earlier this week and cracked it open last night. I meant to just open 2 or three boxes a night, but once I started, I just couldn't stop!
I have not yet collated my base sets, so I can't even begin to imagine how many I have.
I will put up some scans later on when I get some more time.
Box 6 (#817) DB3 DD1 DR4 DT3 DT4 DS1 DG2 DK1 DC7 - Debra dual costume DPC5 - Evidence Bag prop (you can see the letters "Desc") The Birds movie poster promo
Box 7 (#2269) DB4 DD2 DR1 DT1 DS1 DS2 DG1 DK4 DC3 - Angel's shirt (green) DC14 - Lila's vest DA10 - Mark Young DPC3 - Crime Scene tape prop (part of an "O" - looks like it could be from "nOt"
Something strange...looking back, I can see that anytime there is a "Dexter's Relationships" card within a box, there is always a "Dexter Portraits" card of the same number in that same box.
Overall, I am thrilled with my case....A few doubles and even one triple. But hey, no complaints here as I can always try to trade them. These are beautiful cards...thanks Breygent!
Box 2 inserts: DB5 DD4 DG1 DK3 DR1 DS2 DT4 DC12 Frank Lundy costume DC13 Harry Morgan costume DC15 Lt. Maria Laguerta costume
I've been looking forward to these cards and they are very well made, but odds for pulling autographs are 1/57 and sketches at 1/288. That's pretty long and only costumes will not do for me.

Autograph odds are a little off, autos fall every other box, so the odds are actually 1:48, and most of the cases I opened had 6 autos, so the odds are even better. Sketches are 1 per case on average.

Odds given always represent an average, the packs state 1/57 and I opened 2 boxes without getting an autograph. If you are in for cases you are spreading the risk, for a box buyer like me it won't necessarily average out. I don't have the luxury of investing anymore to try to pull autographs.

Got my box today, started tearing into them before the mail lady was out of sight.
Got I set of 72 cards second set 57 out of 72 cards, plus 5 triples
I'm pleased with the breakdown, I had found Doake's shirt early in the box, and was down to about 5 packs and thought I may get only one or two hits, but one pack had the autograph, Dexter's shirt and DD4 foil all together - a nice surprise.
The foils are a little confusing, they all kind of look alike, with so many subsets, but base cards are nicely done, also like design of costumes and autos.
Box 2: 1338/3300 Special: Promos in large topper at bottom of box: Ghost Whisperer Promo 2 & Celebrity Posters -- Says Fan Expo Canada on it and has a Gone with the Wind Poster
Box 1: 2 costume's - Angel and Rudy. Already have both If anyone wants to trade for a couple of other 'common' costume cards LMK
1 Auto - Erik King. He signed it up the side rather than at the bottom. Is this really a variant as someone on 'that site' is advertising, or pretty common?
Pretty damn happy again with my breakdowns. Shame I got a couple of costume's I already had, but that's just the luck of the draw. Getting an auto and a sketch in the same box sure made up for that

Flag City- email sent.
I busted a case plus three boxes and here were my pulls:
Lets start with the boxes. I opened three boxes the other day and pulled the following hits:
Autos: DA10 Mark Young DA11 Mark Pelligrino
Costumes: DC6 Cody Shirt DC9 Dexter Shirt DC11 Lundy Jacket x2 DC12 Lundy Tie DC13 Harry Shirt
I was super happy with the Lundy tie card as they are the second rarest costume card out there (second to the insanely rare Debra patch variant #'d to 15) and the Cody is low numbered as well so I was happy. Plus, two autos out of three boxes isn't half bad.
Okay so, for the case (and all the fun!!!!) This was my first case of cards EVER so it was exciting just to able to sit and open 12 boxes at the same time. My husband helped and I think he might just be my good luck charm!
To start, there was no extra sketch on top but that's okay. I did pull this very nice Brian Kong Masuka sketch. It was the only sketch in the case.
Autos: DA1 Michael C Hall DA2 Julie Benz DA4 Lauren Velez DA5 David Zayas DA7 CS Lee DA11 Mark Pelligrino
DPC1- Prop Foot!!!! It looks like it's the big toe sans nail! It came in the same box as a Debra dual costume, the Kong sketch AND the Micheal C Hall auto!!!!
Oh but wait, it gets better
DPC2- Prop Hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND it's a blood variant that obviously came from the stump part. HOLY ****! Two extra rare hits in one case!
I got the hand and the foot in two consecutive boxes! The packs were HUGE! I almost had a heart attack when I saw the second one.
As for the rest of it, I have a million base sets and the insert sets were really not seeded well. And I seem to be lacking #3 of every set to complete additional sets.
Here's the breakdown:
Behind the Scenes (5 cards)- 1 complete set, 7 spares
Portraits (4 cards)- 2 complete sets, 4 spares
Dexter the Killer (6 cards)- 1 complete set, 7 spares
Group (2 cards)- technically I got 6 complete sets with one spare but 5 of the 7 DG2 cards were damaged....
Dark Defender (4 cards)- 2 complete sets, 5 spares
I am extremely happy with my case. Not very impressed with the collation of the costume cards and inserts as I got 6 duplicate costumes (and a triplicate!!!!) but over all it was excellent!
I should have my first box next week, Can't wait to see what I pull after reading all the great breaks.

My second box. More great pulls. Love the patterns on the swatches! (If I could afford another box, I would. Hmmm... maybe I'll splurge again on another box next payday.)

Received my box today, couldn't wait to get home to break it open
I was really happy with what I pulled, 4 hits in total, with 2 costumes, 1 prop and 1 auto.
I got:
Vincent Masuka auto, Evidence Flag prop, Lila vest costume (dark version) and Masuka's checkered shirt costume.
Excellent box break for me, now I'll just collect the other cards that I need for the set.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Sidewinder,
