Here are some of the highlights from 10 tray cases:
Got 6 Yodas (no autographed Yoda's), 4 golds in each case, and 2-4 autographs in each case. Overall very happy with the tray cases.

You're just getting on my last nerve posting all that Z!
Awesome!!! Though I love that Twi'lek senator Sean Pence your parents pulled the most. They're my fav aliens from the Star Wars universe.
So a stupid question... what do you mean by tray?

I think it's those cases without the individual boxes. Topps ran out of boxes and packaged packs to a tray and sold "cases" with two trays.

Two more boxes for me - opened yesterday.
The first box did not have a sketch, but did have this Yellow Printing Plate:
Card #29 by Grant Gould There was also a Gold Foil card.
The second box had this sketch of Chewbacca by Kate Glasheen:
It also had a Gold Foil card, and this Black Printing Plate:
Card #30 by J. Scott Campbell
Disappointed to not get a sketch in the first box but the Glasheen was my first full-colur pull, and the two printing plates in consecutive boxes was pretty cool. The Scott Campbell in particular looks just like a pen sketch (although obviously it isn't). I've had a quite a few offers for both already, but neither are for sale.

Two printing plates in two boxes - that's not too bad

I picked up a tray case. Slightly disappointed because 6 of 8 sketches were the same artists as my previous case. I will be keeping the Woodall. The JD5 helmet Tie Fighter sketch is brilliant and almost convinced me to start collecting the chaped sketches, but I am resisting
I also got my first printing plate. Since I am strictly an original 3 movies person, I will have to find someone to trade with as I have no interest in Mace Windu at all but it was nice to finally get one.

Wish I was able to pick up a case or more of this, but here's what I got out of 3 hobby boxes and about 3 retail Target boxes.....
2 autos: Miran Kim & Scott Morse 1 Die Cut Sketch (if anyone can help with the artist I'd appreciate it) 3 Sketches (Mangue, Rood & Kohse) 2 Target Red Sketches: Bradley & Shum Only other card of note was a Gold #3/500 parallel of #4 Darth Vader. Thought that was cool getting a low number like that.
I'm just going to post the sketches I pulled from my 2 boxes.
Nik This is sweet. Thanks Nik

I saw on Ebay a die cut from a artist name Katope, all his or her sketch sold for over $100. Just wonder who is this artist and why they sell that high????

Got another 2 tray cases. Short one sketch :evil: and didn't get bonuses (ie no plates or Lost Yoda cards). Nice collection of sketches but some repeat shaped sketches. While there are nice sketches in the first case, none fit my admittedly narrow collecting interests. The second case had a couple of keepers though.
The artist autos are: 232 Matt Haley 239 Miran Kim 266 Jim Starlin 269 Tom Taggart
- Glasheen - Boba Fett - Dieffenbach - Palpatine (very nice) - Ahmed - Leia (slave) - Shum - Qui-Gon Jinn - Carlisle (great sketch, no idea of character) - Richardson - Darth Vader (another very nice sketch) - Graham - Yoda - Helmet - no idea of artist Rh...? - Helmet - Neil Winn - Ewok
- Glasheen - Rancor beast - Cummens - Yoda (a truly beautiful card) - Snell - Weequay - Yue - Leia (Hoth) - Duron - R2D2 and Jawa - Davies - iconic scene of Vader killing Antilles, scene card and definite keeper - Mesa - Polis Massan - Siplon - Padme (beautiful shading on this card) - Helmets - both are Amy Vultya

Siplon is of Padme... Glasheen is the Rancor beast (I think). Yue is Princess LeiaThis message has been edited. Last edited by: miket999,

My one box of Galaxy 4....I think I did very well:
Complete Sets: 1 plus extras Etched Foil: 4 (1, 2, 4, 6 of 6) Silver Foil: 8 (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 of 15) Bronze Foil: 1 (13 of 15) Lost Galaxy: 1 (#2) Artist Auto: 1 (card #266 Jim Starlin) Sketch: 1 (Monte Moore) No Gold Foil, Refractor Foil or Lost Yoda cards.
Out of 24 packs, 8 did not hit on any inserts, and insertion ratio was perfect. All in all, I'm very happy with this box break.
