I was lucky enough to pick up one case of these cards and would have to say I'm pretty pleased with the results:

Patches, Medallion and Cyan #45 Printing Plate

A nice collection of autograph cards:

And a really nice selection of sketches. the only let down being one piece of a 4 or 6 part puzzle:

Tom Krohne, Robert Jimenez, Mark Finneral
Mike Hampton, Dan Brereton, Chris Hamer
Darrin Pepe, Tim Proctor

Overall, I think I got a pretty good case

OK, so there were a couple of bad points: two boxes only had one hit and one of the sketches was a single panel from a four or six panel puzzle. However, there were lots of good points to more than make up for that.

First off, the first box I opened had four hits so overall the case hits balanced up. Next, other than the puzzle piece I didn't hit a single bad sketch. Even the puzzle piece was a good sketch. I snagged good sketches from three of the new artists, a sketch from 'classic creator' Dan Brereton and a gorgeous piece from Tim Proctor (my last find, so saving the best till last). The patches and medallion were nice. I pulled the best SP Comic Creator Auto and, arguably, the best Actor Auto. Throw in a printing plate and a good selection of Gold, Extra Gore and Concept Art cards and I think its fair to say I did pretty well :)!

Oh yes, pretty much everything happy to find a new home :)
