It does show that W H Smiths around the Uk do sell cards, which can only be a good thing.

I decided to treat my self for my birthday with a couple of packs from my local shop - 1 of Spike and 1 of CSI Series 2.
I got a foil in the Spike pack and an autograph card in the CSI - CSI-B8 signed by Joseph Patrick Kelley (as Officer Metcalf)

Bang goes my chance to pull anything from "our" shop

Not entirely blown your chances - the autos in CSI Series 2 are 1:12 so there's a fair chance you could pull one of the remaining two signed cards in the box!

Graham,
Just in cse you were thinking of popping along to 'our' shop and buying a pack or two of Angel Season 5 (there's a new box on display), I bought two packs this morning - now but base cards in the first, PW5 (Gunn's Shirt from "Harm's Way") in the other...

When i first started to collect non sports cards i just collected the loose packs, i didnt know where to get the boxes from, form angel season 4 i got The beast auto and Charisma's top from Home, then in a buffy season 7 pack i got Camden Tou auto. I havent really pulled anything like that since, just chase cards.
I'm still working on the angel season 5 box in my local FP!

I was downtown today and suffering card withdrawl and noticed a nice fresh box of Robots. Couldn't resist opening a few so I grabbed 4 packs, 2 from each side, and got "Postcards from the Big City" PC1 and this rather fetching Tone Rodriguez sketch #'d 295/528



Edit, must be something wrong with my scanner, on my card the pupils are red and the shading is a brown/grey and i see the blue in the borders and logo are grey too.

I think your scanner may have defaulted to a greyscale scan - mine does that sometimes when the image that I'm scanning doesn't have strong color differences. However, here is the scan of that card as it passed through our hands:



I know, I know, I'm just showing off, but I did scan it first!

I posted this in the Star Wars ROTS breakdown thread but only just now went to the TOPPS site to see what the odds were on specific sketch cards and all I can say is WOW, did I beat the odds. It turns out Plunkett is 1 of 9 artists from the toughest to pull level. LEVEL A was 1:777 to get ONE of the 9 artists which works out to 1:6,993 for each specific artist and after checking examples of each I think Plunkett did the best overall sketches for that level.

Anyhow, 6 packs yielded 2 foils and this Plunkett sketch. Gotta love loose packs from a trustworthy card shop.

Bought about 20 packs for XMen (Movie) & pulled a Jean Grey Costume Card... was pleasantly surprised...

my best pull ever was 5 packs from an open box of Simpsonsmania - got a sketch card Sarah owns this sketch now

Bought about 12 packs of Aliens Vs. Predator and pulled a no-namer autograph and Tony Rodriguez Sketch!

I didn't even know that the sketches were pack inserted until I pulled it and checked Inkworks site for info.

Definitely a nice find and a nice sketch! Alien Drooling...

For Revenge Of The Sith are sketch cards seeded in only hobby packs or retail as well?

I bought 4 packs of LotR Return of the King update yesterday and got a Merry's Rohan Travel Cloak costume card.

-Bob-

I can't even pull a decent card from a sealed box let alone individual packs

Normally i would be the first to jump on this band wagon... however yesterday i went to Forbidden Planet and delved into a few packs...

3 x TNG Quotable
3 x Star Wars ROTS
2 x Stargate SG-1 S7
2 x Bond Quotable

The packs yielded the following:

Bond 1 x Bond Girls are forever
TNG Quotables 2 x Space Final Frontier and 1 x Quotable Comics
Stargate 1 x Casting Call
Star Wars 1 x ectched Foil and .......

My best ever pull EVER EVER EVER... and sketch card.. adn thankfully not one of the bad ones i seen.... a fairly decent sketch of Bail Organa (i think) however not sure who the artist is.... will have to post a scan here soon so someone can help identify who the artist is.....

So chuffed ))
