It might mean that some signers will just be late in getting their cards back
Could be, but that's a given with them. To me, a delay of upwards of four months suggests more than that, especially as they apparently haven't had a single one back so far (they'd surely have posted scans like they are for every other set if they had).

Well Outlander, Penny Dreadful, Ghostbusters and Arrow Season 2 were all originally scheduled for 2015 Q4 release, along with Supernatural Season 4 - 6.
Apart from the fact that it's pretty impossible to get 5 products out in a 3 month window, I don't know why any manufacturer would think it is a good idea to even try. Remembering that Q4 is the holiday season and disposable income becomes gifts, these products are effectively competing against each other for what's left of collector's money.
Even if you were so inclined, who is going to have enough cash to spread around to all of them? You are going to pick one, maybe two and that's it. And let's not forget about that Star Wars juggernaut that may just take all the oxygen out of the room.
If Crypto is smart they will release Penny Dreadful and Arrow and hold all the rest for 2016. As for those Supernatural autographs, they need the Brothers without question. It doesn't matter who else signs, if they are both missing it would be a pointless set in MHO.

Agreed, I'd stay away from releasing ANYTHING in December.
I disagree though on Supernatural. The brothers have signed twice on-card and once each on stickers. Plus the dual incentive. They don't bring that much money these days.
If they get Misha Collins to sign for 4-6 I'm sure that would get them through this set. He's the most requested autograph I hear about at shows.
But, down the road, the brothers do have to sign again. There's no one left that has the star power to carry a set.

Surprised we haven't seen any signers listed yet. I guess nobody is in a rush to send them back.
ps-Still hoping for a Genevieve Padalecki signed "Ruby" card.

Big update. Newly added:
Julie McNiven Genevieve Padalecki Brock Kelly Julia Maxwell Carrie Ann Fleming Lanette Ware Julian Richings
Couple of lovely signatures in there. Couple to be ashamed of. But nice to have so many new signers.
And I would hope that Genevieve Padalecki signing means Jared will as well. She's hardly going to sit there at home signing cards and let him get away with not doing it too This message has been edited. Last edited by: ravenheart,

It's nice to see some autograph pictures released. I am looking forward to adding some of those autographs to my collection.

Those autograph card designs look very nice.

Nice adds on the Genevieve Padalecki and Emily Perkins.
Btw....One thing with the show that pisses me off. They find out they have a half brother. He gets trapped in the pit and they don't ever try to help...let alone talk about him again. Whats up with that?

Well he's ONLY a half-brother and if they run low on plot they can always suddenly become concerned.

Very excited to see a Julie McNiven Supernatural autograph. I might have to buy a couple of boxes. The set already looked good to me, but this is the icing on the cake for me.
