Decided to go for a case, and overall very happy with this release. I do wish RA would slow down on all the different styles of autograph cards. In this set specifically the cool factor of the full bleed dragon back cards is a harsh contrast to the almost ugly thick border cards. I do believe the former will lead the way in collector desirability with this set for years to come.

Not being a relic card fan I have to give credit to how beautiful these came out, the royal colors of the fabric really stand out.

I had to wait a couple of weeks to bust the case, fortunately I jumped on an early Matt Smith full bleed signature for a decent price.

All of the subsets are great with some wicked puzzle backs on a couple of them.

Base cards are matte finish, I did some pen tests and they hold an autograph nicely. A little bummed out the set is so small.
