The Film Gallery collation was kind of odd. Card #5 was not in my case. But I do have extras of 1, 2, 3 & 4. I'm quite sure my dealer will have an extra #5 for me.
I ended up with 4 sets of Significant 7 and 2 of Love and War.

All in all, I'd say we got a great case! In total, we pulled 6 Limited autos (with a double of Mark Sheppard) and only missing Jamie Bamber from the full set of pack inserted autos. We're also only short DC5 from having all the pack inserted costume cards. For the chase, we still need one Film Clip card (we have extras to trade) and a Shelter Poster card.
Overall, I think this is an excellent product, and I'm really glad I decided to go for a case instead of my usual box or two.

SidewinderThese case breakdowns are really looking great, you're only missing 4 cards for a master set of the pack pulled cards. I'm expecting my case next week and was thinking there would only be 1 of the limited autos per case, but to be doubling up on some and to only be missing one overall, that's really great odds.
Can't wait to break my case.

Stephen123Looks like Rittenhouse could be onto a winner with this format.

Big Bad BruceHi - This is my first post here. I bought two boxes of Battlestar Galactica Season 3, but have only opened one (want to save the next one for a "rainy day"), but if the first one is any indication, it will be hard to wait too long. I got:
Significant 7 - SS4, SS5, SS6
Film Cell - Agathon (F3)
Love In War - L6, L5
Jennifer Halley as Diana Seelix
James Callis as Gaius Baltar
Shelter Card S7
Costume Card of Anders
The costume card was a great surprise, as I had seen the original costume before it was cut up for cards at the New Jersey Card show at Rittenhouse's booth! This is really cool to see it from start to finish.
I have been collecting for a little while now, and was really starting to get down on the hobby, as I had a few "bad beats" with some boxes that I bought - mainly "Heroes" and "Indiana Jones". I am glad that I gave BSG a shot before totally giving up the hobby, as THIS is the way a non-sport set SHOULD be done! Hats off to Rittenhouse. They know what it takes to make their customers happy - the inserts were especially awesome in this set, and a guaranteed base set in every box is a must nowadays. Anyway, it was a great time opening this box, and will probably be buying more in the near future, just because this is such a great set.

I think Rittenhouse has been putting out AMAZING products so far this year!

I'll post a thread in the Trading forum for these.
I'll say it again... Wow! My best case break so far (by a long way). The collation was excellent. The quality of the cards superb (as ever). The DC5 was a great-looking with a two-colour swatch from Baltar:
Interestingly, the dual costume cards don't seem to have the title "Battlestar Galactica" on the top. A late inclusion into the set? Also, the checklist card does not match the actual numbering/description for the Shelter Posters.
Kudos to RA for a fantastic set. Other trading card companies could learn a thing or two about collation from RA.

June 07, 2008, 01:54 AM
allenderPlus the dual costume cards aren't shown on the checklist card. The numbering is wrong on the checklist card and the website for the SS cards too. If that's all we have to gripe about, they're doing quite nicely.
