It doesn't appear anyone else had the same problem I did. out of my two cases. I had three dud boxes with no costume, autograph or Shadowbox. I thought I would have had made up for it in the other boxes but ended up being shorted. Was kind of disappointed.

This is my first ever box purchase. Normally I just buy items off of eBay to piece my set together, but with the prices dealers were/are asking I figured I couldn't pass up 2 boxes from Cryptozoic for retail (at the last minute sale the other day).
I figured if I got some of the wardrobes and "decent" autographs it would be cheaper in the long run. I was a little worried about what I would get, but I figured what the heck, experience counts also right?
Here is Box #1:
Not only did it have 1 extra Wardrobe...but it also had a dual Wardrobe. I never figured I would have one of them for the collection!
and here is Box #2:
I was pleased with the autograph as I believe he will command a higher amount on eBay (like last season). But as you can tell what really sets this box apart is the Glenn sketch by Shane McCormack! I figured I would never have a sketch from season 2 to complete the master set as I was guessing they would go for hundreds of dollars.

Even though I pulled my sketch in the first box, I ended up cracking 1 full case...other case will eventually be flipped (no, I am not offering it up for sale on the board). Here are the results (not in sequential order):
Box 1 M10 Maggie's Green Tank M28 Sketch by Hayden Davis A5 Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon
Box 2 M6 Glen's Brown Shirt M28 DM03 Lori & Shane Dual (only dual of the case) A14 Sarah Wayne Callies as Lori Grimes
Box 3 M21 Carol's Grey Pants M31 (Teal with what looks to be blood splatter) A13 Laurie Holden as Andrea
Box 4 M8 Dale's White Tank M30 (with a little blood) A7 Madison Lintz as Sophia
Box 5 M25 T-dog's Red Dirt Shirt M30 (again with a little blood) A11 Irone Singleton as T-Dog
Box 6 M14 Hershel's Beige Shirt M32 (blue plaid) A4 (season 1) Laurie Holden as Andrea
Box 7 M16 Rick's Dark Green Shirt M28 (floral) A4 Steven yeun as Glenn
Box 8 M1 Rick's Sherrif Uniform White Tee M27 Daryl's Olive Green Jeans M31 (funky teal/blue with dirt/blood plus gold metalic stripes) A10 Scott Wilson as Hershel Greene
Box 9 M5 Andrea's "Blue" Hoodie M18 Carl's Striped Hoodie M29 A9 Lauren Cohan as Maggie Green
Box 10 M24 Dale's Cream Hawaiian Shirt M32 Blue plaid with a bit of dirt/blood A6 melissa Suzanne McBride as Carol
Box 11 M9 Sophia's Rianbow Tshirt (unfortunately all blue) M31 teal with splatter A2 Jon Bernthal as Shane Walsh
Box 12 M12 Andrea's Striped Top (4 thin stripes) m29 A1 Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes
Although I did not get a redemption, any of the crazy 5-6 hit boxes, or even one of the top artist sketches, I certainly can not complain on the autograph assortment.

Yes...the shadowbox card is an insert...not sure on the ratio but I believe 1-2 per box.

OK, so I could not help myself and busted case #2.
Hello, my name is Iggy and I am a crack addict...
Highlights were the threee autos that I needed to finish a S2 set, plus Season 1 A4 (again), as well as autos of Shane, Daryl, Lori, Carol, Maggie, Hershal and of course T-Dog and Glenn also another bunch of relics that I already mixed with the others so not quite sure what is new aside from another M8.
Here is the sketch

I haven't busted any boxes in years... I picked up 5 Walking Dead season 2 boxes (2 from the Cryptozoic website and 3 from another source). I easily got my money's worth out of each box as I got them all at MSRP or less. Here's the break from my 2 Cryptozoic boxes:
Here's my first of three boxes from another source:
My 2nd box:
Andrew Lincoln auto!
My 3rd box:
I was satisfied with the breaks as I'd got Andrew Lincoln in the last box and this box was going poorly. I pulled the Hoffman sketch in the 3rd to last pack!

Nice sketches everyone. Can't wait to get my boxes.
riddler_149 I can't believe you got 2 dual costumes from 2 boxes, plus the Andrew Lincoln auto! They are awesome pulls. Now if only I can get as lucky when I open my boxes next week.
