| I've been really excited about this set, collecting all the promos up to this point. But that price point just destroys it for me. I guess my only hope is for people to buy them and sell the base sets separate from the autgraphs. |

| I asked them on Facebook about it and they said they will have sets without the autograph available for $125.
I honestly don't mind the autograph, but like others said, the fact that it's slabbed stinks because it won't go in a binder with the rest of the set. |

So is the release not actually limited to 300 sets as the blog states, or can you buy the autographs individually too? Either way $125 is outrageous for a base set. |

| I kinda like the graded cards, but they can keep the sets at those prices. |

I wonder this as well. The article said there will be 100 of the 300 sets that will include a different autograph, but perhaps they're nixing that idea to just sell those 100 sets as-is? Otherwise, producing additional sets does nothing for the value. |

| Way way too high so not for me... |

| so it would appear that 200 sets include the Lohan auto and the other 100 come either with an unannouced auto or as a "cheaper" set only |

| The quality of those sample base cards, and even the autograph cards themselves, look like they could have been done on a home computer. Granted Machete is supposed to be cheesey, so the cards go along with theme, but if they want $125 just for the base set they should put out a better looking product than that. As for the Lohan autographs, unless I'm reading the article wrong again , it doesn't say you can buy one separately, just the set with or without. I think there may be people still willing to pick up the autograph at $125, but if its $250 or nothing I don't see it. Its too bad they overpriced this because there is enough interest to sell it out just for the fun of it, especially at a big show. |

The feel of the set is perfect for the feel of the movie. If I remember correctly, didn't Sidekick print these? They do an awesome job recapturing the classic look and feel of older cards. |
