I purchased the last 5 packs of Star Wars/Clone Wars Widevision at the local Target store and was surprised to find a Matthew Wood as Battle Droids - autograph card. I tried to purchase 1 Binder/Promo card, but was notified by Topps that they are out of stock.

Picked up four packs of Lost Season 1 thru 5 this afternoon and pulled: Flashforward FF3, L9 (Cargo ship blowing up) and Alan Dale as Charles Whitmore auto.

One of my stores is having some kind of card blowout with packs for a quarter, so I bought about 8.00 worth of packs from series I don't usually collect like Enterprise, Wild Wild West, and Wolverine: Origins. Did fairly well, pulled three autographs-

Enterprise Season Two: Matt Winston (which I have now found out was a limited card and to top it off he is Stan Winston's son and was in Wes Craven's New Nightmare)

Wild Wild West: Richard Kiel

Wolverine: Origins: Daniel Henney (which is unfortunately damaged)

There were also other miscellaneous inserts sprinkled in

Not too bad for 32 packs for a quarter each.

Purchased 2 packs of Women of Star Trek today and got a Kitty Swink auto from an episode of Star TrekS9. I was pretty pleased.

Same store had dug out some Quotable TNG packs (but not at 25 cents each), so I took a chance and bought the 9 they had left- pulled the following:

CB5
ST8
TV3

and

Marina Sirtis as Counselor Deanna Troi autograph card-

which was in the very last TNG pack I opened. I was stoked!

Boy you're doing well with these loose packs. I bought an open box of WOST2010 that had 18 packs left. I didn't get one autograph or costume card. Now tell me those packs weren't searched!

Those... packs... weren't... searched...

No, I don't believe myself either

Seeing as Rittenhouse autos are usually in either the top half or bottom half of the box, it could be you were just unlucky.

I found a gravity feed box of Garbage Pail Kids Flashback at a near by out of town Target today and I picked up five packs. In the forth pack I pulled a gold parallel, which is 1:42 packs It was card #65b.

Congrats! I've had good luck with the Gold Parallels but have yet to pull a sketch or plate.

Only reasonably ? Blimey, you are tough to please !

I had a stroke of luck at my Target today. They had a gravity feed box of the Iron Man 2 cards. It looked like it had been rummaged through so I didn't expect much. I bought 2 packs anyways and ended up pulling a sketch card of Nick Fury by Dave Strong. I'm pretty excited about it.

good for you Batjay

I've had the craziest luck with packs this week.

On Sunday and on Tuesday, I bought two packs each of Marvel 70th just for the heck of it (from different stores) which yielded these:



a Fin Fang Foom sketch by Don Hillsman II who I found out was an Extremely Limited artist and a Sif sketch by Alcione da Silva who is a Very Limited artist. Needless to say, I was excited.

Today, I decided to buy two more packs of 70th Marvel at a different 3rd store and then later today I got three Iron Man II packs which yielded these:



Another extremely limited sketch by Sonny Strait and #10 in the "70 Years of Corner Boxes!" series and a sweet Iron Man sketch by Jon Sommariva.

Needless to say- I am kinda thrilled with all the sketch luck.

Some may be for trade, others may not. Depends how I feel.

I was in Target today and bought one pack of "The Legend of KISS" trading cards and pulled a Rock Star Relic. #RRPS3 - an authentic swatch from a vest worn by Paul Stanley.

My son bought a couple of packs of trading cards cards Star Wars Revenge of the Sith and they were in the "cheap bin" at Forbidden Planet (they were having a massive throwout inc trading cards.....
He got a sketch card of Princess Leia not bad for 20p a pack.

Howdy,

I have been lucky a few times.

I have pulled an Indiana Jones: KotCS Sketch card from packs at my local comic book store and a Star Wars Heritage Sketch from Forbidden Planet in Glasgow, Scotland.

I have never pulled an Autograph or Pieceworks card without buying a sealed box.

Anne, at 20p a pack I would have cleaned out the Forbidden Planet. Nice one!

Ran to Target at lunch for some household items, was in the mood to open some packs so I picked up 3 Twilight Eclipse packs, 3 Iron Man 2 packs, and a 2010 Panini Prestige Football pack. $15 total. I was quite surprised to pull this masterpiece:



I think I will have a beer and celebrate!

Holy guacamole Batman, that is a NICE sketch!
