Well the construction and price has changed.

SRP is now $100 higher, at $499. For that you will get 3 autographs per set, one of the Greens and 2 gold signatures, Green or SMG or Hannigan, plus 2 metal cards.

Incentives are a dual autograph card of Hannigan and her husband for every 2 sets purchased and a sketch and all 8 metal cards for every 4 sets. I think that's right based on how I read the copy. So RA has responded by beefing up the set.

I'm happy because this will mean that more of these signatures will hit the market for less as the breakers take their early profits and then try to unload the left overs at discount.

What confuses me a bit is the incentives. If you buy two sets you get the Hannigan dual, if you buy 4 sets you get a sketch. But if you buy 4 sets, do you also get 2 of the Hannigan dual signature cards?

So basically you are paying around $100 for each card... Not that bad.

Obviously, the autograph cards are worth more than the metal cards.

With the 'Free' sketch card and dual autograph card, this set is really only a 'Dealer Only' purchase again.

A dealer should be able to do a much better deal on a full set. In fact I would not be surprised if the individual autograph cards go for less than $100 each.
