Result for my box :

1 x Base set
15 x Foils (1 complete)
Monica Dawson costume
Claire by Ingrid Hardy sketch color



I'm happy. I've found the costume first and I was a little bit disappointed but with the sketch ... it's good for me

I really like that sketch, congrats!

I only got 1 box of these,pleased with my breakdown.

1 base set
8/10 foil cards
Monica Dawson auto card

After the success of my last 5 boxes I decided to buy a whole case from the same seller which resulted in the following:

Sendhil Ramamurthy auto x2
David Anders auto x2
Ashley Crow auto
Christne Rose auto
Alan Blumenfield auto

West Rosen costume
Nathan Petrelli costume
Claire Bennet costume
Elle Bishop costume

Leah Mangue sketch of Elle

I was very pleased with the number of hits as almost every box had an auto but I would have liked an extra sketch or 2 instead.

I decided to sucumb to temptation and buy a box of these. And guess what!? Yes, after all the packs were opened I was left with exactly what I was expecting...nothing..a dud box! What exactly is Topps' position on these dud boxes at the moment?
I know they initially stated that that there would be a hit in each box at ther same ratio etc. Was this still the case on release, or are we to now expect that nothing is guarenteed in a box??
What do I do? Is there an email address I can ask for any resolution on this?
Or is nothing the only thing I can do!?
cheers in advance everyone!

E-mail support@etopps.com with your grievance and they'll send you back all the info you need in a couple of days.

Don't throw away your empty packs, box or receipt.

I should have my replacements from topps tomorrow, i got a tried to deliver card in from UPS today.

After my 3rd box, finally got a sketch. I believe it is by Kevin Graham. Can someone verify the character, is it Sylar?

Let me try again.

One last time, if this does not work, can someone tell me how to better post the picture. Thanks

It looks like Sylar,
Albeit Drag Queen Sylar.
Very rosy lips.

If there wasn't any stubble drawn on then it would defo look like a woman. Perhaps Kevin Graham has an insight that Sylar will be "coming out" in the next series

Hello All,

I just received my case (it takes a while for him to reach Belgium ).

But like a lot of other people I was really disappointed with my case.

The results were:
3 costume cards
1 sketch of Brain Kong

4 dud boxes was really scary for me. I really hoped I would have get one of the better cases.
Now it's up to sending Topps an email.

The rest of this set will come from ebay because I won't buy another case, these are too risky.

Sorry to hear it was a dud case Peter. Hopefully Topps will send some decent autos back to you. How was the Brian Kong sketch?

So I got a total of 14 inserts, even with 2 dud boxes (which I definitely will not be sending in for replacements).

8 Autographs
4 Sketches
2 Costume

With all the boxes combined, I got around 9 base sets and three foil sets. I can see how people are upset when the case breaks are completely on opposite ends. Let's hope things get figured out and the "expected" returns becomes the norm again.

it was a sketch with the red borders you see on ebay from Maury. It's very nice. If I have a scanner I would show it.

Why not??? You would if these were the only two boxes you had bought. The collation is down to the manufacturer and Topps. It is obvious that Topps expected this as they have replacements.
