One in every 2 boxes for the autos seems a lot better but the odds for Jackson don't really surprise me

I don't think it's very reliable info myself, but who knows. if the cards are going to be sent out soon why not list the odds already. i saw in ebay auctions that one said ships Oct 5th.

why can't they put in all (retail and hobby) costume cards or such, they have to have stuff leftover, janitor's mop, lucas' coffee cup, 'blue screen', etc.

if i can find a box for $30, and feel like it, i might pick one up, but any more and  . i'll just get some packs. how much are the packs going to be if the boxes are under $40?

Spent all week opening Star Wars cases - hobby and retail. If anybody needs anything, drop me an email. I have everything available except the Jackson auto, which has already found a home. Sets, promos, chromes, flix-pix, autos...

Crickey you've been busy!
Any chance of posting a scan of the Jackson auto for us please, as it's the nearest most of us will ever get to seeing one of them!!
Cheers ta!

Thanks for posting the scans Rich - strange looking set aren't they - with the yellow background to the signatures I mean.
I'd better not show them to my son otherwise he'll be after me trying to get them for him!

I am not interested in Stw Wars, but I do love those auto cards!

Congrtters to you on pulling that Jackson auto!

Not to split hairs, but that set doesn't have the promo cards or any of the retail chase...

Still, someone got a great deal on it!

I opened four boxes of WS, don't waste your money if you want the autos buy them.

Oh yeah my bitterness is because I didn't get 1 auto   My local guy opened the case and gave me the four boxes on the bottom row, so it shouldn't have been that bad, unless all four autos for the case were in the top four boxes, but I find that hard to believe.

I have read lots of breakdowns and many people are getting 2 autos in a case.  Of course on the flip side a few have pulled 6 and 7 in a case, but it seems much more likely you will get 2 or 3 per case.  Considering the pack says auto odds are 1:48 that seems like a bunch of bull (*$^#%#(*$&$^

And just think of all the people who complained about Batman, at least you would get a costume card in each box even if you only got 1 auto in the case.  With SW if you don't get the auto you are screwed.

Ouch Becks that definitely stings

... don't get too chummy with Batman though - I love the set personally, but I did get a case with no autos at all! (and no "good" costume so it was a pricey passtime opening that one!)

Yeah I had pretty good luck with my Batman case as I got Katie Holmes and Gary Oldman, and autos were pretty tough.  Neither of the two common costumes are worth much and I didn't get a chestpiece, but at the same time I would much rather have the chance to pull Katie Holmes, Cillian Murphy, Liam Neeson, Gary Oldman and Michael Caine.

The flip side is Sam Jackson and Mayhew which will sign anything for his claim to fame, and 2 characters with small roles and a guy you don't even see his face in his role (and IMO the only reason his cards is worth anything is it is tougher than the other three.

So I certainly see your point, but I think we would all agree Batman is a much better product overall.  And I am sure it cost topps a few $'s to get the Batman signers VS 4 of the SW autos were probably cheap to acquire.   I just wish they would take the SW license away from Topps for doing such a bush job.
