Try sending our own scifi cards a PM, but I think he said he is out. Tom is out. Potomac raised there price from there original $629 to $679 (I think). It is getting a little tougher at this point, try ebay...or you may want to wait til the cards get released I think we will see some boxes and cases on ebay then.

I've been putting off ordering a case of LOST cards for awhile cause of a lack o $...but funds are now available woohoo! Does anyone know of anyplace selling boxes/cases still for a good deal? Hoping prices haven't gone up too high already. Thanks you guys! Unfortunately, I've sold everything I ordered, as have many dealers. Potomac has them listed, but at $679.00 far more than they were 3 weeks ago. There are a couple on  right now, and $650-660 seems to be the norm with shipping. There's one seller with a case on eBay who's in the UK, if that might be easier as far as shipping and VAT is concerned. This is one release I really wish I'd ordered several more cases of, but I think there's a law against spending more than you know you can pay for.  Ed |

Ed,
Don't you think many really big dealers will lock a few cases away for a little while to see if the laws of supply and demand will kick in. I still think there is going to be enough of this for the short term, but it will be pretty dry a month or so after release as far as boxes and cases go. I think the singles auto will be reasonable other than Sawyer, Kate, Shannon and to a lesser level Walt. I think the PW will all be highly collectable in the $20-$40 range depending a little on the character and if there are some nice variants. I would think most of the other auto's will be in the $20 range.
Now the auto PW will be a whole different story and if they fall 1 a case I would think dealers would shread what they had not presold and piece it out. Who really knows til we see some casebreaks...just my thoughts. And the big autos (regular ones) may be pretty tough it is very tough to pull a Sydney Bristow auto in Alias rumor was 1 in 2 cases for Season 1 and 1 in 3 for season 2. I really hope they aren't that tough.

I would think that some dealers have extra tucked away for the future, but I'm not sure how much of that will show up in the short term or at what price. I had planned on putting at least a half case back for a couple of years and see if this ended up like Buffy. However the orders came in fast and furious and I scrapped that plan so I could fill orders. The auto PW will NOT be 1 per case. However, they should be better than 1 in 2. And that's all I'm gonna say.  I think it will be a buyer's market in the short term on autos and Pieceworks. But I think those will also dry up in a month or so. Overall, I think this will be a hot set for some time to come. The time to buy singles will be right away when there is a glut of them on Ed |

This is making me feel a lot happier about splurging on a case (my first); now just gotta cross fingers that it contains an auto PW  |

I haven't sold any of my cases yet, so I am sure when they are released I will have some available. I was going to open all of them, but pre-bought all the cards I want, so as soon as I actually recieve the cards I pre-bought, I will sell all my cases, except probably one. I am just excited for the set to come out!!

Finally, we have the autographed pictures up on inkworks, well we are still missing a few, there are 6 redemptions in the set, the autographs and autographed pieceworks of the big three will all be redemptions. But I honestly think the images look great!! I am glad I ordered a few extra cases, this set is gonna be hot!! http://www.inkworks.com/products/lost/lost1/lost1autos.html |

Blech. More redemptions. I still haven't gotten my Serenity redemption card back yet (or the damaged auto that was sent along with it...)
I just can't get excited about the prospect of opening a product and finding a piece of paper saying - now go to the post office during the holiday season and try NOT to kill the postal workers and mail this back to us and maybe some day you'll get an actual autograph card back .... ok? Good.
Blech... redemptions.

I'm so excited!!!!  I'm really looking forward to the Swoozie Kurts auto as well as the (redemptions  ) top 3 of course! I heard a rumor that "Ethan" is Tom Cruises' cousin. Is that for real? |

Having seen the actual autos (or samples of the autos) I'm a little more excited about this release. I was going to settle for a couple of things other than a mini-master set with binder, but I'm thinking I'll have to chase everything but the auto'd pieceworks....
I'm not a fan of redemptions either, but at least they have Josh's autos in house already!

With the big three auto's being redemptions as stated on IW auto sample page, wouldn't the auto-PW be redemption also? That could cost a lot of money to send a redemption back, any big redemption card should always be sent fully insured with proof of delivery  Lets say you send in a redemption for each auto PW card, you would have to overinsure it to protect the current and future value as they will likely go up in price as they get harder to find. |

Yeah - they were released to dealers in time for Memorabilia - i.e. yesterday. It's looking REALLY good - anyone who wants a LOST Memo Promo give me a shout. As I was given a few for you by Cards Inc. I also got a small collection of UK HP cards for a competition in the near future too  |

Howdy all just to let you know I had 5 cases delivered on friday ready for for the memorabilia show this week end. Out of my cases I found one kate and one Shannon Auto pieceworks redemption, which makes me think they will fall on average 1 in 2 cases. How ever I am gutted as I had been wanting to keep these for my own collection, also I got every other auto but only one shannon redemption.  On the pieceworks side I got every one exept the sayid one so I didnt even get one master from 5 cases. Still a nice set though. Memorabilia was not good for me takings wise but still good for the crack just hope my ebay stuff will go well. |

Hey Bush,
I think you are right, I had heard rumours that they were every 15 boxes, but 2 cases seems to fit better with what I hear from people who have opened cases.
Card guru and dealer Paul Harte also observed that the Naveen Andrews costume was rather rare too. Not one in 5 cases you say? Crumbs!

One of us can just make a separate LOST breakdowns thread when we are ready to pop stuff in i t- I have my breaks on paper ready - I didn't think I should really mention case contents til the set was released but it seems that all hell has broken loose on ebay etc so we might as well
