Iron Man 3 Case Break

deeceman · 05-10-2013, 02:23 PM

opened a case at the local Wednesday show. The case had exceedingly poor collation as far as the mem hits and I was shorted an auto to boot

according to wrapper odds the actor autos are 1:144 and comic book artist/writers autos are 1:144 so one would think that you would get two of each. My case had 3 actor autos and zero comic book autos. The case did have 9 sketches which is one more than the odds but that has been the norm of pretty much every case that I've seen of this stuff so far. Anyway here are the hits:

8 Hall of Armor cards- these are very well done

The Rebecca Hall auto swatch was a nice hit

Single mem collation was an abomination- 4 of HT1, 2 of HT2, 3 of HT8- I was not very thrilled by this especially being that I love the design of the mem cards and it would have been nice to get more variety

I like the Hansen/Potts a lot

Bottom left triple has the Stark and Mandarin swatches in the wrong places

Top left quad has 2 Mandarin swatches and no Stark piece

for sketches I cannot locate an artist list so I'm not for sure on some of the ID's of artists and characters

Madame Masque by Rhiannon Owens, Ms. Marvel by WDR?, Spiderwoman by Ashleigh Popplewell, Thanos by Ryan Kincaid

Nova by Lord Mesa, Iron Man by Alex Magno, Iron Man by ?, Maria Hill? by Diana Greenhalgh, Iron Man by Arturo Arley Tucker

thx and comments welcomed.

The Spiderwoman is definitely Ashleigh Poppelwell and DG is Diana Greenhalgh.

The Lord Mesa sketch is of Nova, and for some reason, Thanos's smirk is really creeping me out...

Thanos is by Ryan Kincaid

Arturo is Arley Tucker

Awesome break! If I have anything for some of the single costume cards, please pm me if they are for trade.

Your Iron Man ? sketch is Erik Reeves and your Maya Hanson Heroic Threads Auto is the #2 or #3 hit out there (#1 being the Tony Stark Patch and the other #2/#3 being the Stan Lee auto). Nice break overall. A Rhi Owens sketch is a big hit for this set, as far as I'm concerned. The overall sketch quality has been below average for an Upper Deck release and I'm pretty sure the reason they haven't released an artist list yet is because they didn't get ANY of the really big name artists they had on Avengers/Cap/Thor/IM2 and they think publishing the list will hurt case sales.

Oh... and as far as plates go, that is one of the sweetest ones to snag from this set!
