----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The basic set was even nicer than the promo cards. The multi-etched surface was visually and texturally pleasing. [Will be contacting Rittenhouse Archives (per their guarantee) regarding the missing basic cards from each box to complete the basic set.]

The “Words from the Bard” insert subset with gold foil contrasts nicely on the leather colored border. The card surface was the same type used for the autograph cards for “The Outer Limits: Sex, Cyborgs & Science Fiction” set, that released a few months ago.

The “Eternal Friends” subset has images of the show’s leading ladies framed within a foil image of Xena’s chakram.

The “Xena in Motion” lenticular cards are cool, each card displaying a portion of the show’s opening credits.

The “Forged in Battle” cards look nice with the die-cut & prismatic foil used.

This Xena card set is really cool with various subsets (parallel and inserts) that also are nicely designed. Complements nicely with the previous Xena card set: “Xena: Beauty & Brawn”.

Minime, welcome back! You were missed!

MiniMe, is it really you! This is wonderful. I hope your back to stay. I have missed your input and insight. Thanks for posting again.

hi Minime,

Glad to see you're back, and with a Xena breakdown .

Hi MiniMe!

Welcome back, and nice job on the pulls.

MiniMe,

Welcome back, you have been missed.

Sweet pull on that double auto. I'm seriously jonesing for my 3 boxes to arrive (i sure hope it's this week, waiting until after the weekend would be torture ). I can't wait to start tearing through the packs.

Aahhh, Beer! – The cause of, and solution to all our problems.

MiniMe, welcome back - you HAVE been missed!
As ever, an excellent breakdown. I'll have to see if I can pull a couple of packs from somewhere - my local store may not get them in...
Au Res.,

Sometimes, one pack is not enough...

Great breakdowns everyone! HI MiniMe, good to see your back, you were missed !!

Welcome back MiniMe!

Want some fried chicken?

"You are here!"

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome back. Wow. They really weren't kidding when they told me at the Philly Show that my presence was missed.

- It was good to see you, Lana, and Headless Horseman at Philly. Sorry we didn't have a chance to chat. Perhaps at Dee's show?

Carlvinson:

- It is another version of me. The length of stay at CT depends on what happens after this return.

LesleyW:

- Dear lady. It is good to hear from you again as well. I hope that it isn't far between our chats again.

DCJ:

- After helping Jessica at the Philly Show pick the magical box of Xena: Beauty & Brawn, and then the packs the chase cards would be in, it was nice to see how I fared with my box of The Quotable Xena.

- Congratulations on your promotion. My loss is your gain. Remember, as a wise man once said, "With great power comes great responsibilty."

DaveH:

- Thank you. I've missed many of you "across the pond" as well.

Incarnadine:

- I had a "feeling" that one of my boxes would have the Bruce Campbell card, which is the single signer autograph card that I wanted. And I had a feeling a dual autograph or autographed costume card would also make it's appearance (preferably a dual autograph card), which it did. Now, that DA4 can can accompany the dual autograph card (DA1) of Lucy Lawless(Xena)/Reneé O'Connor(Gabrielle) & (DA2) Hudson Leick (Callisto)/Reneé O'Connor (Hope) that I pulled from my two boxes of Xena: Beauty & Brawn at the end of last year

You did pretty well yourself, with a dual autographed card AND an Autographed Costume card from the same box.

Welcome back to the board Minime - it has not been the same without you

No time for a real breakdown right now but the autos and costumes I got from my 3 boxes were

Phantes
Varia
Autucolyes
Lucy Lawless and Ted Raimi
Aphrodite Autographed Costume Card woohoo

seemed to do alright on other inserts all though I did get 2 M1's and 1 M5. Will have to trade the extra.

Will add a real breakdown tomorrow sometime!

"So be good for goodnesss sake"

So far everyone seems to be doing exceptionally well on their xena pulls. I love crunching numbers so it'll be fun seeing how the breakdowns match the numbers. There are 6 limited autos and according to RA limited is defined as 300-500. If 300 a limited auto should turn up in 1:5.56 boxes, if 500 then it should be 1:3.33 the autograph costumes are 1:200 packs (1:5 boxes) which would work out to 333 of each (assuming they all had equal numbers) + however many archive boxes there are and how many they hold back for replacements which likely brings them to roughly 400 each.

Homer Simpson:
Bart, a woman is like a beer. They look good, they smell good, and you'd step over your own mother just to get one!

Cosmic Girl:

- Hello there. Good to "see" you as well.

Kristy:

- Congratulations. It looks like you did pretty well yourself. I know you're just dancing with joy over your pulls.

Incarnadine:

- You're right. Seeing how the numbers breakdown is pretty interesting. Especially with all the inserts and odds for this set.
