| Terminator Salvation (Topps 2009) | Login/Join |
Silver Card Talk Member |
As promised here is the breakdown from my case. The base set is typical Topps, nothing special, but not bad. The foil embossed machines are awesome, with the T-600 and T-700 cards being especially nice. The Memorabilia Cards have a decent design, but the material piece seems rather small. The Autograph Cards are nicely done. Yes, they are stickers, but the stickers are very unobtrusive and the stickers fit nicely into the allocated spot on the card. The sketch cards, while all machines are really nice. I'd say these are the nicest Topps has ever done. I admit this is based on just a 1 case sample, but I'm very happy with the quality. 2 complete foil sets, 3 cards short of a third set, with 7 additional cards. 1 Memorabilia Card, with actual worn material of Marcus Wright's Shirt Autographs: 3 Jane Alexander 2 Chris Ashworth 1 Dylan Kenin 1 Jadagrace 1 Michael Ironside 6 Sketch Cards With two hits a box, I ended up 1 card short and it's either a Sketch or Memorabilia Card.

Just got my two boxes today. Autos: Jadagrace Michael Ironside   Costumes: Marcus Wright's Shirt Kyle Reece's Vest No sketches, but the Ironside auto makes up for that. Overall, it's not a bad set. I haven't put a base set together yet (waiting to see the film tomorrow). I do like the embossed chase cards. Much better than plain foil. | |||

Very happy with my case, got a full set of the autograph cards with 2 duplicates, 5 sketches, and 3 costumes. Made 2 foil sets and 1 short of a 3rd, sets were approximately 1.5 per box. I have posted the sketches and a cool varient I got of Michael Papajohn's autograph:  ____________________ "The problem, I'm told, is more than medical." | |||

This does look like a pretty good case with 2 sketches from longtime Marvel artist Don Perlin and one from acclaimed illustrator Bob Larkin. Davies made a nice splash in Star Wars Galaxy IV and its good to see him carry his excellent work into this series Autographs wise, the Ironside is nice with him having appeared in prominent roles in the "V" miniseries and TV series as well as a choice role in the horror classic "Scanners". Not too shabby, I was on the fence on this release, but having seen this impressive breakdown right out of the gate, I'll definitely pick up a box or two. (There will also be a limited retail edition unless that's changed.) Good show! ____________________ Everywhere around this burg they're running out of verbs, adverbs, and adjectives.

Some real nice sketches, congrats to all. Opened two boxes earlier this week and finally got the sketch cards scanned. The 2 autos were Chris Ashworth and Jane Alexander. Here are the 2 sketches.   I was very happy to pull 2 sketches, and really like the Davies, not as nice as the one above, but still nice. I did manage to pull 3 full base sets out of the 2 boxes, but not a full embossed set(4 cards short). | |||
