The prices of the Torv and Jackson autos, thus far, on ebay are INSANE. Insane. I knew they'd be high, but I have to admit I'm a little shocked.

Today I received my Cryptozoic Fringe case that I had preordered from @#$% and ^&*('s awhile back. This was my first ever Cryptozoic product- I do not watch BBT and therefore had zero interest in the trading cards and while I enjoyed the Walking Dead graphic novels or TPBs that my brother in law loaned me, I do not watch the show so I didn't open any of the cards from that either. I was excited to open this case but nervous at the same time because from what I've read on these and other boards it seems like its pretty hard to get a good selection of autos from the cases and instead there are many duplicates of lesser names. I had read Miss Lizzy's breaks which I thought were good as usual, Hippiemkt's breaks which were fantastically awesome and Iggy's which I thought was solid but not spectacular. After opening my case I can honestly say that had it not been for a crazy fluke my case would have been by FAR the worst of the bunch. In fact, halfway through box 11 I was already crafting the letter which I was going to write to Cryptozoic to express my feelings. I was livid and worse, I felt like I got ripped off.

Here are the costumes that I pulled:

M2 Brandon's Lab Coat x2
M4 Broyle's shirt
M6 Charlie's blue shirt x2 both with white swatches
M7 Charlie's suit- has the same pic as M6 which is very weak in my opinion
M8 Olivia's striped shirt x4 ARGH HULK SMASH!
M9 Olivia's suit
M10 Peter's dark gray shirt x2
M12 Rachel's green shirt
M14 Walter's gray shirt
M15 Walter's green shirt x2
M16 Walter's lab coat x3

so 20 costumes but only 11 different.

Here are the autos that I pulled:

A5 Astrid (Jasika Nicole)- this was my only "rare" auto
A8 Thomas Jerome Newton (Sebastian Roche)
A11 Rachel (Ari Graynor) x3
A12 Charlie (Kirk Acevedo) x2
A13 Mitchell (Chance Kelly) x2
A14 Brandon (Ryan McDonald)
A16 Amy (Meghan Markle) x2

so out of the 17 signers for this product I got 7 in my case and all were common with the exception of the uncommon Roche and Markle and the rare Nicole.

pretty gosh darned ugly wouldn't you say? To compound matters there weren't even complete non memorabilia insert sets- both of those had as many as 4 of one card and both sets were missing one card. I haven't even bothered with the base cards yet but I would not be terribly surprised if I was missing cards from that as well- I'll have to update this thread after I do some sorting later.

so what was the crazy fluke that I spoke of earlier? well in box number 11 about halfway through the packs I pulled a card that looked different than all the rest......yes that's right you guessed it- a redemption for the oversized wardrobe card!

why call that a fluke? certainly a little bit of luck but not exactly a fluke right? well yeah it was a fluke cuz exactly one base card separated that redemption card which incidentally was R7 on the back from its brother R8!!!!!



anyway that's my break, comments are of course welcome- thanks for the long read, Dave

WOW! TWO REDEMPTION CARDS!!!! That is amazing! Almost amazing enough to make up for the severely lacking pulls. I hope Cryptozoic can get the other mess with the inserts sorted out.

I would say it more than made up for it. He could buy another case if he sells one of the redemptions.

Also pulled 23 costume cards...almost 2 per box, but it also appears you were shorted two autos.
