I bought the last 2 packs of Alien Predator Requiem (actually bought 1 and the owner found another pack in the box as he was about to chuck it out and gave it to me for free) and got the A-10 Ian Whyte auto.

I also got 2 piecework cards from one pack when I bought 4 packs from the same box a couple of weeks back.

You'd be lucky to pull any sketch, but to get one of such good quality is fanatastic - congrats!

Not sure who the artist or even character are.
The character is GRAVITY. He had a mini series and then died in the mini series BEYOND.

Stopped by my local shop and they had all sorts of goodies since the last time I was there and I went a wee bit overboard buying packs. Here are the more interesting results:

20 packs Marvel Masterpieces- Chad Hurd sketch of Nightcrawler
9 packs Indiana Jones Heritage- Howard Shum sketch of Indiana Jones. Also got a parallel of the checklist, 007/500
6 Packs of LOTR Masterpieces II- Colleen Doran sketch of ??
6 packs of Star Trek 40th- Majel Barrett autograph as computer voice A155 (Very Limited)

I bought about 10 leftover Spider-Man 3 packs and got a Bruce Campbell autograph! It was a little dinged, but I'm very happy.

Just picked up 10 packs of Star Trek 40th Anniversary II cards, and got the following:

Portraits - PT28 Mark Lenard
1967 Expansion - 95 Lt. Kelso
Autographs - A149 Barbara Baldavin and
A161 Grace Lee Whitney Thumb Up

Felt good to pull a very limited autograph in a random pack from an opened box....
