Stopped by 4 stores this weekend for Free Comic Book day, bought about 20 packs of Family Guy, Nascar, Spike, and Sith.

From Family Guy: Becky Grutzik sketch of Stewie
Pawtucket Patriot autograph (2 different stores)

Nascar: Jimmie Johnson auto in Gold ink.

Bought 2 packs of Star Wars ROTS in Toys R Us, Birmingham and pulled a very nice David Rabbitte sketch of JarJar

Don,
that is one HECK of a pull on the Johnson gold auto. It should be individually numbered out of 50

Mike

Mike, I know it says on the wrapper that gold signatures should be numbered, but mine was not.
The funny thing, I opened up the Nascar packs in the shop, showed them to the dealer, and we both looked at the cards, but it didn't register that it was an auto until 2 hours later, I'm looking at the backs of the cards, and I can't find a number.
I found this one in a pack of Presspass Premium. It's the only gold auto I've ever seen.

Not so daft if you consider that it might be half of a twin pair. You just need to find the other !

It is half of a pair but I'm not going to look for the other one. If I come across it then fine but I can live without it.

Not so daft I think - I have the "Mirror Mirror" sketch from TOS35 (by a certain living in a well John Czop ) that that only shows half of the Mirror Spock's face.
Nice pull anyway!

Pretty glad to pull this one.

Reminds me of a certain Card Talk Thread !!!!!

Well I'm going to be honest and say that for all the nice cards I remember pulling way back when I also also spent hundreds of pounds pulling absolute dross...

Anyone else pulled some absolute dross? No?

I would love to trade for that card if you are interested. E-mail me at the address in my profile!

I found the other half of this but got outbid at the last while distracted at work.
Oh well.

I've been looking everywhere for a box of family guy but with no luck, so i bought the last 8 packets my local shop had, i got:
Bad Dog 5
Bad Dog 6
Lori Alan as Voice of Dianne Simmons Auto
And

SK11 358/501 sketch card (Inked peter)

Yep, who says buying loose packs from an open box is bad. Bought the last 6 packs of Buffy Season 7 from my local card shop. Pulled:

Slayer's Legacy #SL-1

and

Iyari Limon (Kennedy) Auto #A44

Cool! Now, to go back and buy the last three Spike packs!

Well another five packs of Sith from Toys R Us in Derby......

A lenticular card, #1 of 2 and the sketch card !!!!!!!

A Hodges sketch of a Clone Scout Trooper.

My luck over the years (all these came from buying random packs from open boxes)

Buffy Season 3 - Eliza Dushku
Buffy Reflections - Harry Groener
Buffy Season 7 - D.B. Woodside
Buffy WOS - Tara Figure Redemption

All from the same shop aswell

I pulled this out of a £3 pack i bought.

Ksahni, welcome (another UK Card Talker!)
1) you paid £3 for a pack of DS9MOTF?
2)
3) reason for - that is the only card I'm missing from that set
4) the Berman autograph was actually in the pack? I thought (mistakenly, perhaps) that it was a redemption card...

Grrr.

I believe you're right Paul, the card was only available through redemption. Can't imagine how this one got in a pack. But you never know.

Wait wait wait, It was a redemption but just for pictures sake!!! I got an quark auto from the same pack aswell. The pack was about £2.50 or sommat from frbidden planet in manchester.
