Is there a binder for this set?

I asked Tony of Triangle Cards this question and he said that he wasn't aware of any binder for this set.  It looks like Topps dropped the ball again (i.e. LOTR Trilogy). Roll Eyes

Well I took a plunge on a case and low and behold it was pretty good, with the box price not being as much as most Topps products I figured it wasn't the worst gamble and here are the results



Katie and Oldman - must say it looks like Oldman took a little more time and gave a nicer sig than on his POA cards

Here are the 2 memorabilia cards I pulled (actually 6 of the cape costume cards and 2 of the Batmobile tire cards - unfortunately no batmans chestshield mem card so if anyone has one they want to sell pm me.

Now - that would be either the best thing since sliced bread, or a complete and total disaster...

I reckon that they picked up some good tips from Artbox...

Also I think that maybe New Line and PJ may have been less than happy for Topps to slice up the LOTR props than the Batman stuff... but imagine - slices of the One Ring... Shocked

ya true i suppose but i would still kil for some og gandalf's beard.lol.what are the batman swatches like though from anyone who has one.they seem a good size.also i love the way they put an image of the pre cut up costume on the back. i think they should all do this and i love it.go topps for finally making a good set although it doesn't make up for all the poor sets IMO

WOW Beckham1....you got the best autos in your case, the holmes is really in demand, and selling for over $200US and the Oldman is the hardest to get in the set and is selling for even more....so by the looks of it you definately got your money's worth. But if I brought them, I would sooo keep them, they are great looking autos  Grin

What's the tire swatch like?  Is it a cross section through the tire?

The swatches are basically a rubber piece from the tire that doesn't really have any crosssection or anything (at least the ones I got) I would imagine with as big as the tires seem to be they probably couldn't use any of the tread (at least my guess).  Basically just a smooth swatch, but you can certainly feel the rubber vs the cape card which it seems is a velvet type of fabric.  Nice and soft to the touch.

Thanks! Smiley  After collecting the HP sets, it seems weird to have a set with only two costumes and one prop.

No - there is a guarantee of one costume card per box (usually the cape) and autos run one per case, though there have been cases with 2 in them Smiley

Well officially it was some super fabric that was like cotton or wool of sorts and then when you put a current through it it went rigid so he could glide through the air.

But I am sure for the shooting they just went for a nice soft light fabric Wink
