Big thumbs up to Rittenhouse for the collation.

Base sets - only sorted a couple of boxes but got three sets in each so am looking for around 40 for the case

Pitch black (18 cards 1:3 packs) - 8 complete sets plus 14 odds (no dupes in the odds)

Casting call (9 cards 1:10 packs) - 5 complete sets plus 3 odds

Auto's

Case loader Keith David (1)

Vin Diesel (1)
Judy Dench (5)
Karl Urban (5)
Keith David (1)
Alexa Davalos (4)
Thandie Newman (4)
Colm Feore (4)

Shame I only got one regular Keith David but on the whole very happy with the case.

Hi David,

It's just been posted on the Rittenhouse message board that the Keith David COR auto that was inserted into packs is nearly as rare as Vin Diesel's. It was a last minute decision to get him to sign a second set of cards so there aren't as many. Topic can be seen by following the link :-

Hi Wendy,

thanks for the info, another strange thing is that the Keith David auto is the only one to have a coated/glossy back.

My box looks a little similar to your's:

2 base sets
4 Casting Call - 1,2,3,9
14 Pitch Black - 1, 6-18

Autographs:
Judi Dench - Aereon
Colm Feore - Lord Marshal

Two minor weird things:
Two packs yielded 8 cards, but there was a duplicate card in each; guess they stuck together. Also, a few card backs (~20) had white lines on the boarder, as if they had not been cut properly.

Love the puzzle posters

Brought 2 boxes on this set and here is the break down

6 base sets and a few spare cards

A complete run of Pitchblack cards and a few spare

1-2-3-4-5 casting call cards and 3 duplicates

Colm Ferore x2
Judi Dench x2

On the whole not bad but am a bit dissapointed that I got the same Autos twice

KADRAN00157

If you would like to trade one of the Judi Dench autos take a look at my trade list which is in the trade section.

I was able to purchase the Keith David case topper auto for a reasonable price. I only need the Vin and David pack autos and I will have them all. I really like this set...very well done.

1 box 40 packs 7 cards each B
box design B+
wrapper design B-
2 complete base sets(missing 3 for third set) A
base set design C+
Cast CC1,2,3,9 1:10 C(plain jane)
Pitch Black 1-11,17,18 1:3 B-
2 Autos Dench,Urban B

Overall C+/B-
Great collation and box design. Rough edges on many commons. Base commons featured too many shots of Diesel in a repetitive pose. Costume cards or one more level of inserts would have earned this release a solid B rating. Release seems to lack imagination. Haven't seen the movie yet, so maybe there isn't much to work with in the first place.

I wouldnt go as far to say the release lacks imagination...I really liked it. BUT I will agree with the too many shots of Diesel or other profiles in the base set. After seeing the film it had a bunch of great SFX shots that should have been blended into the base set. It seems as if sets today (vice those that I have or remember from the 70's) are getting away from cards depicting great explosions or space battle scenes. An action set should depict ACTION! and not just focus so much on character features.

The film wasnt all that great in that it started good but dived in the end but there were plenty of great shots that could have made for a much more exciting base set. The base set did not have even one special effects shot.
The "Pitch Black" sub-was very nice and between the front and back was blended well.

Watched the DVD a few weeks ago so I figured I'd get a few boxes. Here's the first with 2 more on the way:

2 Base sets, 3 cards short of a 3rd
4 Casting Call - CC4,5,6,7
14 Pitch Black - PB1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,18
2 Autographs - Alexa Davalos, Thandie Newton

Got my other 2 boxes:

Box 1:
======
3 Base sets
4 Casting Call - CC1,2,8,9
13 Pitch Black - PB3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15
2 Autographs - Judi Dench, Karl Urban

Box 2:
======
2 Base sets, 2 cards short of a 3rd
4 Casting Call - CC2,3,4,5
13 Pitch Black - PB1,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18
2 Autographs - Colm Feore, Judi Dench

Hey Everyone. I picked a box of this up at yesterday's Philly Show.

2 Base Sets (1 card short of 3-#22)
14 of the 18 Pitch Black (missing #'s7, 9, 10 & 11)
Casting Call: CC3, CC4, CC5, CC6
Autos:
Alexa Davalos as Kyra
Karl Urban as Vaako

No Vin Deisel, but I', happy with the 2 autos!

Picked up a box today at a London comic fair.

This is what I got:

4 x Casting Call cards: - CC1,CC2,CC3,CC9
14 x Pitch Black cards: - PB1 and then PB6 to PB18 (same as another box posted above)
2 autos: - Keith David & Alexa Davalos

Unsorted base cards as yet, but looks like at least 2 base sets - some have rough edges and the last card in every pack has some sort of indent line along one edge.

Nice box though, now to track down the rest and a binder.

Nice box!!! You pulled 2 of the high valued autos!!

Awesome autos you got there!

Is it me or are the autographs from this set extremely hard to find in decent condition? I can't seem to get my hands on mint condition autos from this set to save my life. I'd even settle for near mint. But all I see is badly damaged corners and extensive chipping on these cards. I get too wrapped up in condition but I bet strict mint (graded or ungraded) autos from this set will carry a premium in the future because so many of them are damaged.

Got me a box, very happy that I got 1 of the autos I wanted:

Alexa Davalos as Kyra
Karl Urban as Vaako

These base cards and autocards are way nicer style than XMen 3 (with that huge X). Found these autos in mint condition. A few of the base cards were rough round the edges. Also nice to see that the card back pics are different from the front then you get twice as many pics
