Previous Box Breakdowns (Various)
James Bond TWINE also had a Denise Richards auto card in addition to the one's mentioned above.


Okay, I re-read Sarah post and it mentioned this one.

Opened a box of James Bond TWINE cards today. Here's my breakdown...

1 Full Set (6 cards short of 2nd)
Bond Is Back - B1, B2, B9
Q Branch - Q2, Q3
Shaken Not Stirred - S1 Smile
Casino Collector Chips - C1

On Jeff Allender's website, it states that there are autograph cards in this set, but it doesn't say anything on the box or on the wrappers. Can anyone clarify this for me? If they do exist, what are the odds of pulling one? Thanks!




Vincent,

All the autograph cards in this set were available only via redemption. I've forgotten the odds of pulling a redemption card (one in three boxes maybe?). But the big factor to be aware of is that Inkworks no longer retains the 007 license. So any redemption cards you pull will not be redeemed by Inkworks. Rittenhouse Archives has the license now and so Inkworks is precluded from redeeming any Bond redemption cards. I was told by Inkworks that all their 007 cards were destroyed (wince!) when the license went to RA.

So you should cease buying boxes of TWINE looking for autos. Interestingly, the unredeemed redemption cards fetch a pretty fair price themselves. And the Casino Chips are very cool. So if you can get a box fairly inexpensively, they still may be worthwhile. You did fairly well on your box with that Shaken Not Stirred card. I'm still looking for that one myself.

I just opened yet another Disney Treasures box. (I wasn't weak, it was gift. You don't really expect me to turn down free cards do you?) Here's the breakdown:

0 sketch cards
0 signature card
120 other cards I already have

The end.

Don't feel sorry for me - the box was free after all! I didn't really expect to find what I was looking for anyway (but it would have been nice). I'll just have to get my card the old fashioned way...eBay. Wink

jUST A NOTE, THE X-FILES MOVIE MYSTERY CARDS STICK(TO THE LEVEL OF DAMAGE) ON THE BACK OF OTHER CARDS. i HAVE SEVERAL THAT ARE IN BAD SHAPE BECAUSE IT WAS TOO HARD TO PRY THEM OF THE CARDS THEY WERE STUCK ON. mIGHT WANT TO CHECK AGAIN, YOU SHOULD HAVE TWO(THE THIRD TYPICALLY GOT REPLACED BY THE AUTO IN YOU GOT ONE AND YOU DID) IN A BOX.
THE DAVIS AUTO WAS THE HARDEST(ALONG WITH PILEGGI) TO PULL FROM THE MOVIE CARDS
CONGRATS!

5 cards per pack is just not enough... Frown

Missing 5 cards from a full 72 card set - have a redemption to go into Inkworks so hopefully I'll get the replacements along with the redeemed card.

1 Slayer's Journal (needed)
2 Portrait (had already)

While sorting through the commons, I found the A2 Faith Auto Card Bouncey Bouncey

I am STOKED! So didn't expect an auto, certainly not one I wanted Big Grin

Great pull, tialessa! Now you just need a matching Angel 4 one. Perhaps you'll have similar luck there.

Tialessa! Twak You lucky person you!! One day I'll get a Face... I mean Faith... and IMO that's the better looking auto too!

Barobe, I put all of the cards in order, no Mystery cards at all... it doesn't matter considering I'd just offer it to trade anyways...

My cards were having trouble with sticking together, but the auto, the 2nd card in the 13th pack, came out unscathed...

Picked up a box of Justice League while in Birmingham, AL
I got
3 puzzle cards The JL symbol, wonder woman, and the space station
2 lect. cards batman and hawkgirl
2 sets of regular cards
2 sets of the 18 card foil set(1 per pack)
0 auto or sketch cards.
A better looking set then I though it would be.
I am very pleased.
Inkworks have really worked hard on a great release every month this year.

Caved in and bought a Buffy S6 box at the store...


Box #11262
2 Complete Sets
Handful Of Triples
Couple Quads
BL2
H6, H7, H8
LBB5, LBB6
A29 Kali Rocha Smile


I was hoping for a PW, but what am I gonna do? At least I got something, and I guess it's cool that the auto is A29, considering it's my lucky number... Roll Eyes

All the cards outside of the auto will be up for trade (you'll find it on my page when BCW creates it... Big Grin)... anyone want to trade me a PW?? Smile

The mailman also came with 2 boxes of Visions of Vampirella and a box of Terminator 3 in addition to my LOTR TT Update boxes.

Terminator 3:
1 base set (2nd set missing a few, didnt count)
Skynet Foil - C3, C4, C5
Costume - NONE
Autograph - NONE

BTW, I already had a base and foil set, so I got NOTHING good.

Visions of Vampirella:
3 base sets (spec. Had to take a break from sorting)
1/2 a parallel set
5/6 HorrorGlow (1 double)
1/6 Pin Up (1 Double)

I effectively threw $130+ down the drain today. Only thing good is the Vampirella sets. What a horrible way to end the week.

They should do - if they don't I might have yours as they sent me one instead of the Depp (he never signed).

I've got some of the other Sleepy Hollow chase if you need any.

Just opened a Buffy Season 6 box

1 base set.
BL1 box topper
H4, H5, H6.
LBB2.
A39 David Fury auto Frown .
PW5 Spike pieceworks Big Grin .

Very pleased with my first pieceworks card, but disappointed that the auto card was one of the three i already had, especially as there are 11 different.

Got 20 packs of each - not too bad with the chase Smile

Have way too many base sets, so haven't sorted the commons yet.

Farscape Season 3 - 4 Behind the Scenes, 5 Quotable (one cut poorly enough that I'll likely attempt to send it back), 1 Family Ties & 1 Revenging Angel = 11 chase Big Grin

Stargate Season 5 - 6 Daniel Jackson Tribute, 3 Wormhole Extreme, 2 False Gods = 11 chase Big Grin

I wasn't unhappy with this as I got them for a good price. Of course I was hoping for a sketch, but wasn't doing anything like pinning hopes on one Smile
