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

John Hannah (Batiatus)

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.


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.

Ed,

I don't think that this would be the case. The chap that I purchased from is a UK dealer and a registered Card Talk member.

I have been buying from him since the start of the year and he has offered to trade some of my spare autographs for a John Hannah and sell me the others two autographs that I am missing, I would prefer to trade for them all though but I doubt I will be able to with what I pulled.

Thanks,

Billy

I got 4 more packs to go with the 9 I have opened already and will give me the full 26 base card with some trading.

Autos
Andy Whitfield x1 Dance
Manu Bennett x1
Nick Tarabay x1
Lucy Lawless x1 Elephant
Katrina Law x1
Jai Courtney x1
Antonio Te Maioha (B&S version) variant x1 Thumb Up
Erin Cummings x1

Inserts
Seductive - SE1, SE5, SE6, SE8
Savage - SA2, SA6, SA7, SA9

Base set - 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 25, 26



Very good 4 packs, 2 of the top autos and no duplicates. The Antonio Te Maioha is a nice variant with his initials across the card. Still need 2 autos, 1 Savage, 1 Seductive and 10 base card from 13 packs.

I opened box #64 of 200 today and received the following:
Andy Whitfield x 1
Lucy Lawless x 1
John Hannah x 1
Antonio Te Maioha GOTA x 1
Antonio Te Maioha x 1
Lesley-Ann Brandt GOTA x 2
Lesley-Ann Brandt x 2
Manu Bennett x 3
Erin Cummings x 3
Nick Tarabay x 3
Viva Bianca x 4
Katrina Law x 4
Jai Courtney x 4

1 complete set of Savages with extras of SA1, SA2, SA3, SA5, SA7 & SA8
1 complete set of Seductive with extras of SE1, SE2, SE4, SE5, SE7 & SE9
1 complete episode synopsis set with extras of 19, 20, 21 & 22
I enjoyed opening the packs, but it went downhill after I opened Andy Whitfield in my first pack. Had hopes I would pull another one but it didn't turn out that way. Nice to get a master set in each box. Hopefully RA will send my binder soon so I can store them somewhere besides the box.

Howdy,

The binder is really nice and your master set will look great in it.

I am sitting one card short after a weekend of trading my search for SE9 continues.

Got my pack today (along with the awesome looking binder!) and I got

base cards 15+16

seductive 5
autographs Jai Courtney Smile

Found two today by accident, don't follow the show, but 2 autos per pack are worth it.

#562
Base 11 and 12
Seductive 7
Savage 1
Jai Courtney and Lesley-Ann Brandt (B&S) autos

#1415
Base 17 and 18
Seductive 3
Savage 4
Viva Bianca (no XO) and John Hannah Clap autos

John Hannah is good to me, not because he seems to be limited, but because I liked him from The Mummy films. Wink
