Correct the duals don’t have blue or red inscriptions

Let’s not forget there are apparently 1/1 plate autos as well as I pulled the R.D. Robb. That’s the only printing plate auto I’ve seen so far. Wonder how many of each actor there are and are there plate dual autos?

[Oldnavy788]

True, I would think one of each color plate signed, but hard to say and yes I have only seen the one you pulled as well.

Holy smokes what a great card for a sub character. Did this sell somewhere already?

Not only with this set being licensed, but the autos are on card & this will probably the one and only set for this movie. Not to mention there are not tons of parallels. Even if there is a red 1/1 & 4 plates, that means there are 210 total & no more ever. That is actually really limited for a classic that will be watched for decades to come.

This will most likely be the only set produced. And great point about the on-card factor. Leaf signatures are always stickers which I avoid.

[Oldnavy788]

Agree a great inscription for this set!

[Oldnavy788]

I always go for on card auto I do not like stickers at all.

[Wise4671]

I'm down to only needing 2 autos to complete the auto set.
Ralph bunny suit
Flick on the flag pole.

See the bunny suit on ebay but I'm not going to drop 1k on it. I may not get to finish the set.

I would not be happy in the long run if the binders sold out and I didn’t get one….soooo I errored on the side of caution and bought one. Once a year (after I fill the pages with all the sets) at Christmas I’ll read them all again…so really if you think about it from a fan perspective “It’s the gift that keeps on giving”

[Oldnavy788]

I picked one up as well to display my master set in it. I rarely if ever use binders anymore, but this set was worth it to grab a binder for.

Per kakarot12 there’s only 500 binders produced. He said they come in cases of 10 and they’re numbered out of 50 total. That’s not many to go around. I went ahead and bought one today to stash away with my sealed case. Plus the inserts were designed to fit the 9-pockets perfectly.

Oof, this thread is starting to read more and more like a pump thread.

[ksmith31]

Unfortunately a pump thread is exactly what it's become lol

Hard to complain about this incredible set, but I'm gonna do it anyway haha. Instead of common and rare versions of each auto, I wish the numbers were combined and it was just 1 card per signer, with the most iconic image used for the card. Sucks to like the limited version of Flick, Randy, Scut, and have them all be less obtainable unnecessarily. Sucks to have to pay more for these autos if you want the more iconic image. Not sure if I'm willing to do it and it turns me off from collecting the commons.

Incredibly impressed with the QC and the sketches

Relics would have been amazing .. but can’t have everything

My only real complaint was opening the packs. Never seen packs that were this hard to open. Ended up just opening everyone with scissors

Overall 9 out of 10 I loved it

20 random boxes from 6 different orders

5 Peter billingsley autos .. pretty wild
2 dual autos Randy Ralph and flick and Schwartz
1 sp auto scut farkas
1/1 insert puzzle piece
Sketches were all nice. Nothing crazy

I agree with the uneven numbering of the “base” autos. 6 main autos to /299 and 4 supporting cast autos to /499. Kinda leaves only 299 complete 10 card sets and much less for a SP set.

I’m less concerned with different images for both as they all appeal to me. I will say I would prefer all the images be similar in style like close ups or mid/full body but that’s just me.

I haven’t purchased or opened anything sealed, but I have managed a full 10 card auto “base” set. 90% of which was purchased from a seller here.

[greatgradegrate]

Struck out on my two boxes. One had elf auto and dodgy elf sketch. The other same elf auto and mid Ralphie sketch.

A case of bought too few and also too many. Cool product, tho!

It is very weird that is about the highest I have seen too. There is a Cryptozoic employee that posts on here maybe he/she can shed some light on where the higher cases were distributed.

D&A just put 12 boxes on again but this time....$199.95 per.

And I'm wondering where are the #/5 inscriptions? There are 100 of them and 0 have turned up. Yet there are 99 of the 1/1 Brilliance parallels and I believe I've seen at least 11 of those. And 3 of the 20 red 1/1 autos. 4 or 5 of the 25 Glebe sketches. Several Farkus and Dill SP autos, but only 1 Flick. I'm really hoping all the big hits were distributed evenly throughout the entire product, but at least one of those #/5 blue ink inscriptions should have turned up by now. I find it hard to believe that everyone who has pulled one doesn't post online or in a forum. Maybe it's just the luck of the draw. Or maybe they're all crammed into the higher number cases that Dave & Adam's might have? (And keep trickling out at higher prices.) Who knows.

Wow that escalated quickly. No sealed cases put up but some loose boxes. This is getting nutty especially since it’s well after the new year and we won’t see this movie till December again.

Nothing new. Same trend as with all their other products. And they do have cases. Just order 12 boxes.

But geezus that’s 2400 for a case. Great for me but I feel bad for anyone looking to buy sealed product.
