Here is the one card from the set I'm keeping:

While I have no idea what that says or means... that is one AWESOME autograph!

It just occurred to me after looking at the cards listed on ebay so far, out of a case do you get a full base set that has all the same number?

No, I wish they did it that way, but all the numbers are completely random.

That's a shame, probably a good thing for me though.
As I couldn't afford at the moment to get any of this great set, I'd be one that would try and chase down at complete set of one #

I broke one box here is the auto breakdown

Autos
Andy Whitfield x1
John Hannah x1
Lucy Lawless x2
Erin Cummings x4
Katrina Law x4
Manu Bennett x3
Antonio Te Maioha (B&S version) x1
Antonio Te Maioha (GOTA version) x2
Jai Courtney x3
Viva Bianca x3
Lesley-Ann Brandt (B&S version) x1
Lesley-Ann Brandt (GOTA version) x1
Nick Tarabay x4

Cracked open pack 2660/3000

Savage SA3
Seductive SE4
Base cards 17, 18
Autographs -- Nick Tarabay as Ashur and Viva Bianca as Ilithyia

Viva Bianca was the autograph I wanted most after Andy Whitfield, and I like Ashur on the show a lot, so I am happy. Pulled both base cards from the same episode --
is that common?

Nice hit, have you any more packs to open? or did you just get 1?

Does the Antonio Te Maioha have any strange designs on it like some of the other appear to have?

So I had a buddy who picked up 3 packs from our local store, getting them to carry them at all was like pulling your own teeth, but I think he did VERY well:

1st pack had:
Andy Whitfield (Spartacus)
Antonio Te Maioha (Barca)

2nd Pack had:
John Hannah (Batiatus)
Viva Bianca (Ilithyia)

3rd Pack had:
Andy Whitfield (Spartacus)
Nick Tarabay (Ashur)

So guess who got the dup Andy Whitfiled? W00T!!

I picked up two packs my self and got:
Lucy Lawless (Lucretia)
Manu Bennett (Crixus)

and
Antonio Te Maioha (Barca) Gods of the Arena
Erin Cummings (Sura)

Received my pack this morning (might pick up more).

Pack Number: 1634/3000

SA8: 130/350
SE2: 075/350

Base Cards: 11:068/250 and 12:196/250

Autos:

Viva Bianca as llithyia
Antonio Te Maioha as Barca (Gods of the Arena version)

I open my 3 packs procured from one of our friendly forum card dealers (thank you kindly for hooking this girl up!)

Andy Whitfiled Best pull ever, but then I'm a newbie so it doesn't take much.

If I could only afford to buy more I totally would

Howdy,

I received my 10 packs this morning, the set is lovely but I am really disappointed in the autographs I opened.

I am missing cards 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 21 & 22 of the Episodes Synopsis Cards (Doubles of 15 & 16)

I am missing card SE9 and SA5 of the Seductive and Savage subsets (Doubles of SE1, SE4, SA2 & SA3).

My autographs were as follows: -

Viva Bianca x 2
Jai Courtney x 2
Lesley-Ann Brandt x 2
Lesley-Ann Brandt (GOTA) x 2
Erin Cummings x 2
Katrina Law x 2
Nick Tarabay x 3
Manu Bennett x 4
Antonio Te Maioha (GOTA) x 1

As you can see out of 20 autograph cards I got 11 multiples and I am missing:

Andy Whitfield (Spartacus)
Lucy Lawless (Lucretia)
John Hannah (Batiatus)
Antonio Te Maioha (Barca)

I can't believe how unlucky I was not to pull at least one of the top 3 out of two thirds of a box considering all of the box breakdowns I have seen have contained at least 1 of each and either Lucy Lawless or John Hannah as a double, gutted.

Loved cracking the premium packs though, awesome. I really love that format for a release

TTFN

PS The highlight of my card opening day way actually a Manga Mandy sketch by Daniel Campos which was absolutely stunning, wish I had a scanner so that I could post the image.

If you trust your supplier, then yes, it was pretty bad luck.

But, with a product that has a complete run in a box, it is conceivable that someone opened until they pulled the big 3 then sold the rest of the packs as sealed. Open another box and repeat until you have a pile of unopened packs to sell. They are sealed, yes, but they are cherry picked.

Don't know who you bought from, I hope it was just plain bad luck as nobody should have that done to them.
