Boxes have only just been sent out, eveyone should be getting theirs over the next couple of days.

I picked up my 2 boxes and binder from the Royal Mail sorting office today.

Got 8 of the 9 Gold Foil Fashion cards.

Sketches

Emma Peel by John Gordon


Emma Peel by Kate Bradley

Nice sketches Which foil are you missing Raj?

I received two boxes from a UK dealer yesterday, and received the following sketches: -

Shum
Deffenbach

The shum is better done than the Diffenbach. It's probably too embarrising to show the sketches on NSU.

The fashion cards are nicely done. The base set is monochrome and also nicely done. I was able to make up a fifth base set out of the left overs from the two boxes.

I am still to receive my boxes direct from Barrie.

I'm missing F4. I should be able to pick it up relatively easily. I'll probably pick up another box at some point.

Surprised you got poor sketches.I thought they were all suposed to be top of the line.

Received my 2 boxes and binders from across the pond yesterday. Got the following:

Chris Henderson Sketch (the fixative makes it feel laquered)

Thorson Autograph
A total of 8 of 9 Fashion inserts (missing #4 also)

Binders were nice and included F10 and Gold Foil Rigg card. Extras included were a P1 Avengers promo and a Hammer Horror Promo.

Inside one of the packing boxes, was a McNee autograph redemption! Barrie says it was a case bonus that he just packs in customer orders.

Looking at your case break I have 1 question, are the autographs only 1 per case? Just curious since I bought a dozen packs last night and pulled an Honor Blackman autograph.

SI web-site says 1-2 sketch/auto per box

So no official odds? Looking at the breakdowns so far no box has had more than 1 hit and there have only been 2 autos pulled.

There is only 1 hit per box, although 1 of my packs in another break had 2 sketches. I busted about 5 or 6 cases and did average 1 per case on autos although 1 case had 2 in. That was pretty amazing to find a Blackman auto by buying a few packs, they're going for about £70-80 on ebay at the moment.

Nice sketch from the latest Strictly Ink deal.

Those cards are all great, especially the Honor Blackman autograph. I loved The Avengers when I was a kid, it was a great show!

I hope you'll all like Avengers 50th Anniversary, there will be a sketch and auto card in every box with 2 or 3 dual autos in the set. Looks like Charles Hall is on for this set!!
