I just opened box 1807 of 4000.

I am really surprised to report that I did not get a base set out of the box. This is very unusual for a Rittenhouse product. I still need another 45 cards to finish the base set. Almost every base card that I did pull was in the box twice.

I did well on the chase cards:

1 metal base parallel, #20 numbered 40/75
3 Rules of Acquisition, RA10, RA18, RA30
1 Aliens, A5
1 Ships of the Line, SL35
1 Relationships, R12 numbered 40/75
1 Communicator Pin card, Kira Nerys numbered 65/90
Joseph Culp autograph (VL)
Jim Metzler autograph (L)
Susanna Thompson autograph (L)

The communicator pin card was a nice card to pull since the odds of pulling one of the two are 1:864 packs.

I picked up a box of these yesterday at Chicago show. I was inspired by the box number - 0005 of 4000, thought that was a good sign.

Like Curler, I did not get a full set. I got 91 out of 100 cards. How does this happen?In the 90's I thought most companies had worked out a full base set per box guarantee. It's very rare to get a Rittenhouse box that does not hold a complete base set. Furthermore got 38 extras.

My inserts were better:
1 Metal base parallel 81, numbered 16/75
3 Rules of Acquisition
1 Aliens card
1 DVD Card
3 autos
Jim Metzler as Chris Brynner (L)
Barabara Bosson as Roana (VL)
Armin Shimerman asQuark/Max Grodenchik as Rom Double auto (ExLimited)

I hope there is no end to my good fortune. Smile

I purchased a second box on Friday. This box didn't have a base set either. It was one card short. At least there was two of that card in the first box. Here is how the chase cards broke down:

1 metal base parallel, #33 numbered 12/75
3 Rules of Acquisition, RA19, RA20, RA32
1 Aliens, A6
1 Ships of the Line, SL30
1 Relationships, R5 numbered 61/75
Marc Alaimo as Gul Dukat autograph (EL)
Courtney Peldon autograph (VL)
Harris Yulin autograph (VL)

Seems the new correlation works that the higher the chase card (rarity/total count), the fewer the base cards? Or are there just more duplicate base cards?

Some really great pulls though guys congrats Clap If anyone has chase photos to share please do. Drool

Finally acquired a box cheap.

One hobby box, 24 packs, 6 cards each.

1 complete base set
7 extra base
1 A5 1:24
1 SL28 1:48
3 RA5,20,37 1:8
1 BP9 patch 1:144
1 metal #82
3 autos
Galyn Gorg - KSisko
Michael Canavan - Tamal VL
Wallace Shawn & Armin Shimermann DA4 EL Clap

Overall Grade: C+/C
Pros: Patch, auto designs, metal card
Cons: Chase odds like A, SL & RA should be more generous. No parallels?
