Breygent's Wizard of Oz Collector Cards

[Guest]

Brian you are a little off on your numbers.  I don't think they aren't determined yet, but I don't think it will be 23 premium cards per case.  I don't want to speak for Tom, but you are probably a little high on your numbers.

I'm getting more interested in the munchkin auto.  Will it be one munchkin signing or a few different ones?  One of my favorite scenes is the munchkin song when Dorothy lands in Oz.

I'm sure I am off, which is why I said if the rumored numbers hold true then we should expect that. Originally, it was rumored there would be an autograph AND sketch card in every box.

I never said that would be true or not, but even if I am off, the cards you are getting are great and rival anything that artbox or inkworks has put out for sure. Don't get me wrong, they both have great products, but were talking about prop and costume cards from a film over 65 years old. The fact that this set isn't just base and chase cards is amazing.

We do have to remember the cost involved in acquiring the materials to make this set.  I don't know if this is the same dress, but it sold for $267,000 at auction (and that doesn't include the buyer's fee)!

OK well there's been a news flash from Tom @ Breygent.

Due to unforseen circumstances one signer is unfortunately no longer able to sign for this set, and so there will no longer be enough autographs for one per box as originally stated on the BreyGent website (and as posted by Anna when she first received the news).

This is the most recent sell sheet, and it's still looking a great set

Aw, that's a shame about there not being enough autos for one per box.   Maybe Tom can get the paw print from one of Toto's offspring for an "auto".

I think it still looks like a great set most of the fun of collecting is the thought of pulling the really rare cards. This set also looks like we might be able to find some unique other cards along the way.

yes, yes,, i love the looks of these cards... as every day goes past, and with every delay in there release i get more anxious.... more, is that possible??

maybe i should start preselling all the common sets and chase cards in here... think i will buy a few cases.. mind you, preselling these sets probably wont do me any god cos everyones buying the case 

is SciFi cards prices ok? i am surprised that ROZ lets people advertise commercially in here and advocating it??? sorry am new not mean to offend anyone.. just most forums inhibit this... but its nice having dealers that look after you (me to now) yakers...

Will post sketches once i figure it out and when i get them in early APRIL???

Speak soon

People can advertise their products and eBay auctions in the appropriate areas of the forum, such as the "Card Trading Section" for miscellaneous card sets, ""Mt. Doom" for LOTR, and "Diagon Alley" for HP.  In general, "for sale" messages with prices that are posted anywhere else are deleted and the people who post them receive a friendly email from a mod.

As for whether a seller's price is good, that's for you to decide after researching prices with other dealers.  Good customer service is important, too.

VERY true!  It's not worth saving just a couple of dollars and not getting the service I've come to expect from my regular dealers/sellers....

[sketchqueen]

I agree. I buy from the same people over and over again because I get good service - they may not be the cheapest in town, but they know me and know what I like and that's important to me.

[itsme]

Hey Tialessa and Sketchqueen,

thanks so much.... am still earning all this stuff and agree.. god customer service is imperative regardless of what one is buying and price is second to service (unless cases i guess)>..

One of the things i am having troubles getting my head around is if i do buy a case of breygent wizards, my odds must be better than buying a box or 6. wouldnt it? wouldnt most dealers look for the good cards and break till they pulled them and then off load the boxes that would more than likely hold lesser value inserts?? say i pulled an evolution colour sketch first box out of a case (wishful thinking ), wouldnt it be wiser to sell off the remaining boxes as the chances of them holding another higher value card is less and then reinvestinf the solds stocks money into another case for the chance of a second colour? hope this makes sense!!

I think this is the biggest reason why i am hesitant in buying boxes.... and as you guys/gals kinldy reminded me, its finding the service and quality dealers.... well, i will keep searching....

Thanks again.. and will certainly buy a case or 2 of these though.. they look fantastic..

Julie,

You bring up a very good concern here.  I know there are some dealers who do open a case until they find "THE" card and then the remaining boxes are the ones they sell off.  Some dealers will say that's the only way to make any money doing this.  I say they are wrong.

The way it works around here is box and case orders are shipped before I ever open any product.  That way there is no temptation, but also because people want the boxes as soon as possible and many times I will ship orders out the same day the cards show up on my doorstep.

Normally I have a case that is for single box sales and one that is for my opening.  Ocassionally they become mixed if I don't open a full case worth, but that's the exception not the rule.

But everyone else if right.  Do your homework, compare prices and service.  And deal with someone you are comfortable with.  Thats the best way to make a good purchase.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Bregent has updated their Wizard of Oz webpage to include more example sketches from Darren Auck and maybe a couple other artists.

[bosko666]

WOW!

I love Darren's Apple tree sketch and the color in the ruby slippers sketch!

[Anna]

Breygent updated their web site again.  It now shows sample cut signature cards and costume cards.  Plus some new sketches samples.

Woo The Costumes are soo small! Sketches are soo cool!

Must buy a box! 

[kbmum]

Yeah, those costumes are small, but for slightly more than one-quarter of a million dollars, you could have the entire dress!   I think people would hear me screaming for miles if I pulled one of those cards.
