Don NortonWho says buying loose packs from an open box is bad?
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.

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

Don NortonMike, 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 !

RajIt 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.

Quaint1Not 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!

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

Quaint1Ksahni, 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.
May 24, 2005, 06:46 AM
KsahniWait 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.
