So Watson the cards for you next? Good pull

Nice one Andrew

I have a question for you case, and multi case breakers: Are you just REALLY big Trek fans or are you shop owners/online dealers? I mean, I would love to grab a case but at $650 ish, that is a major hobby decision. Or, is it a combination of both in that you can finance most of the case with the extra's, or inserts you don't want to keep.

And if it is the latter, how does that work out? Do you usually get close to your money back? Thanks.

I would imagine you have a better chance of break-even with Trek than alot of other product

Groan.......
But it was an elementary pull, my dear Graham !

I had some extra cash and I popped down to my local comic shop to see if their order of Family Guy was in yet (it wasn't) but they did get some boxes of Quotable TNG and Star Wars ROTS so I grabbed a box of each. Oddly the box of TNG is the european version (they had no idea)

ST2,3(x2),5,6,7,8,9(x2)
Captain's Women- W4
Comic Books- CB1, CB2, CB6
Costume Card- C1 and C8 (both black)
Autograph- John de Lancie as "Q", Limited

US versions do turn up here but are not normally found in shops, generally with dealers. It could be they got them by mistake or the supplier ran out of the US version.

Got my first box today.

AUTO - ROSALIND CHAO
and a card that's confusing the hell outta me a Picard CCG that doesn't seem to appear on the checklist ( unless I'm going blind )

Kesmit

There a was leaflet included in the box to explain what the CCG cards were. They're not part of the set but promos for the card game.

Decipher ahs the gaming liscense for Star Trek, RA the trading card line. THey are doing a bit of cross promoting in hopes of expanding their audience. THe two cards were promos for earlier CCG sets and were a surprise insert in TNGQ.

Does that mean we should expect to find some Rittenhouse cards in an upcoming Decipher product?

That'll be the box sized leaflet then - I am going blind !

Opened 4 boxes today. Already got a base set so haven't collated the base cards.

TV Guide: TV1 (Patrick Stewart), TV3 (Jonathan Frakes), TV6 (Denise Crosby), TV8 (Michael Dorn)
Costumes: C9 (Wesley - Black), C4 (Deanna - Green), C3 (Riker - Red), C3 (Riker - Black)

Puzzle set: 2 full sets plus ST1 (x3), ST2 (x2), ST3 (x2), ST4 (x2), ST5 (x2), ST7, ST8, ST9 (x2)

Bummer, a Wesley Crusher Starfleet's Finest. What a disappointing 4 boxes.

Great auto pulls!

Mark

I don't have the hatred of Wesley that a lot of other Star Trek fans seem to have, so I was happy to have it.
The Dixon Hill and Sherlock Holmes auto cards were totally unexpected and a happy surprise. The only disappointment was not getting a dual auto card.

International box 1592

Picard game card
CB 1,4, & 6
Captain Women W3

Costume card C1 (Picard) Black
Auto Nurse Ogawa
Starfleets Finest Deanna Troi (279 of 399)

Has anyone noticed the prices of the Starfleet's Finest. The cards are numbered to 399 but can be had for about £15. The Mirror Mirror cards from TOS season 2 were numbered to 400 and go upwards of £300.

While the Mirror Mirror were a better format card, the price disparity seems strange.
