Here is my breakdown on one case:





Not happy at all considering the sell sheet states 4-6 sketches with an average of 5. The 'special' landscape sketch has been drawn as a portrait. It's no surprise that I didn't get any of the rare inserts considering that a couple of dealers on Ebay seemed to have been fed the majority of them. Really can't see the point of inserting 3 sets of the same oversized cards. One would have done. This will be the last purchase I'll make from Unstoppable Cards direct.

Disappointing, never liked this 4-6 promise why should some people get 6 sketches and some get 4 for the same money? And you only got 3!! I see some of the top sketches are with the dealers!

I just don't like this format. I want to know exactly what I am getting in a box/case. I tried Wicker Man and Doctor Who Invasion Earth but based on the results there I passed on this.

Okay I faired a bit better but swings and roundabouts. I'll do a basic rundown rather than my usual indepth. So here goes:

Case 0961 - 0972

Not detailing the foils, each pair of boxes seems to make up a set of ten. So five sets and no extras after quick once through.

Case Topper. 3 x postcard set. Sylvia co-creator auto, stamp TB4, Parker Andy Fry sketch I think. Also contained David Graham/Kyrano auto to go with binder.

Box 0961 Joe Cuff Auto, Colour Sketch of Brains by Bruce Gerlach
Box 0962 Joe Cuff Auto, David Graham/Gordon DG2 auto.
Box 0963 Matt Zimmerman/Alan, Matt Zimmerman/Zombie.
Box 0964 David Graham/Gordon auto, sepia sketch of John (I think!) by Kevin Meinert

So all in all, ended up better off. Beat the odds on the sketches, sorry Graham. However was two autos short of a set, that pre sales said would be in the case.
That and one sketch card that looks like a four year old did it. Fired off an email to see what Unstoppable say about the missing autos. Sketches are hit and miss. Happy with the Fry and the Henderson though.

So in the interim between trying to post and getting cut off, had the two cards in the post this morning. Very nice, thanks Barrie. Hope you get sorted out over the sketch Graham.

How do you determine the box number? Mine do not have any numbers.

Any chance you can post pictures of the sketches? Just from the names looks like you got a way better selection than anyone else so far.

Was this a sealed case you bought direct from Unstoppable?

If so you should contact Barrie at Unstoppable about the missing autos. The Sylvia Anderson/Lady Penelope is pack pulled, there is a Sylvia Anderson/Co Creator which is a case topper so you are missing four autos in total.

I was going to say, it looks like you got some nice sketches just from the names of the artists

I wanted to post a scan of the sketches but as far as I can tell, you need a web site. I can email it if someone would like to post.

Yes, my case came direct from Unstoppable. I have emailed Barrie and they will make good on the missing autographs.

I did receive the SA2 Sylvia Anderson / Co-Creator autograph with my case. Was told the MZ2 - Matt Zimmerman / Ned Cook autograph was a fan club rare insert.

As far as I know, the Ned Cook was to have been a club card but went into the cases instead. To be packet pulled.
