Cee_JayHeroes Season 2 (Topps)
Opened 2 boxes of Heroes and only got 1 high end card: a beautiful sketch of Elle by Chris Henderson. The other box was dud. So I sent the wrappers and the empty box to Topps and got a Haitian auto back.

SidewinderOpened two boxes today, very happy that I didn't end up with a dud box. Got a Mohinder auto and Claire costume in first box and a Adrian Pasdar auto in the second. Had 8 foils in each box and completed a set. Was hoping to get a sketch, but very happy getting 3 inserts out of the two boxes.

Cee_JayOpened a third box and got another dud box

. So after sending all the wrappers etc. to Topps I got an Ashley Crow auto back.
A good customer service, but buying 3 boxes and getting 2 dud is disappointing.

MartineOpened two boxes for Christmas, and pretty happy with what I got! First box, beautiful costume card of Hiro

(sweater, 2 colors and detailed), and second box, 2 autographs: first one of Sendhil Ramamurthy as Suresh

and second one of Stephen Tobolowsky as Bob Bishop. The first box also yielded a complete foil card set, and only 2 missing from the second box.

SidewinderHave all the sketches been found already or what?? I bought 2 more boxes and both had costumes, Hiro's jacket and Monica's shirt. I'm glad neither were duds, but I'd like to pull one sketch card for once. I've bought 4 boxes so far and found 2 autos and 3 costumes, the sketches keep alluding me

JadeNicI got some money during the holidays and decided to purchase some boxes of cards. This is the first time I bought a box of Heroes cards and due to the dud boxes I wasn't sure that I wanted to, but I decided to take the risk anyway. Despite having ordered the box last month, it didn't arrive until today.
I got down to the last four packs and was sure I had gotten a dud box, but then I pulled this beauty:
It was a good thing because I was having serious buyers remorse while waiting for this box. Needless to say, I was ecstatic to not have gotten a dud box. I would have been happy with any hit, but this was super great!
Oh, and in the 3 packs I had left I pulled these:
