Guess this set aint much good, No where near as good as LOST. the NSU card site has almost nothing about this set, so thats gotta tell you something, is it that crap ??
What sort of pulls have people been getting from a box ?, i'm thinking about a case or 2 to sell in Australia, but if the pulls are as bad as the amount of posts about this set, then I wont bother.

[Martyn]

The set isn't crap. The only reason the NSU has loads of posts on this set is because people hate the stickers. Each case gets about 16-18 costumes in and 3 - 4 autos.

I case I saw the breakdown for has a Lex auto, Superman and 2 others in it.

I can't wait for my case to arrive!

Hi,

I too can't wait for this set to be released in the U.K., i have already pre-ordered 1 case and a seperatly sealed hobby box. I'm also thinking of buying the set of 6 Superman Returns Trading Card Collectors Tins which i have read will have 36 exclusive cards per tin plus tim topper card that is different from the main base set and chase cards.
As i'm new to collecting will these be worth buying as an investment please let me know and also what should i expect to pay for a Lex or Superman autocard if i'm not lucky enough in my case to get one prices approx pre and post release of movie?

Hi

I'm just being nosey and wandering how you all are able to work out the overall ratio breakdowns on chase,costume etc...?, or do you get given that information my the trading card company?

Please just ignore if my naivety is getting to you all!!!

Cheers

Paul

[Roz]

It depends... in this case we got the info from the company though (from the side of packets )

[padge77]

Hi Roz ,

Cheers for your help on that one !!!. I bet your thinking what a complete NOVICE and Naive person

Cheers

Paul

[Roz]

Nope, we're thinking, isn't it nice to be new and fresh it's all very exciting, especially at your stage with your first case purchase coming up

[padge77]

I know it's very exciting and i know a part of me says we shouldn't as we are going to want to probably go same way with other future collections which needs money and a constant supply.
Looking forward our plans are to start trading on ebay as the extra money helps as I have had to give up work to to a back Injury

Cheers

Is anyone else surprised by the low bids on most of the costume cards?  I just won one for 99 cents.   Granted, it isn't one of the Superman costumes, but still, a lot of these cards are selling for less than $10.

Next question:  Does anyone have info about the Lex Luthor coat?  The picture shows a tan/camel coat, but the swatch is off-white.  It looks more like the hat he's wearing.

Hi,

Like yourself I also have noticed low auction prices on these cards. Lets hope the film meets the hype and does well to insure everyone gets better prices post film release on doubles of cards that may and will probably get in cases.
Hope I dont get too many doubles as we have just ordered a case.

Cheers

All the cards are "Material used in the making" so that would explain the different colours.

The UK's shipment of Superman Returns has been set back for another month or two. The Collector Zone has the expected release date at now 23/06/2006

I have 2 cases on their way I think I should be ok as the autos arnt that bad and the cases are alot cheaper than the Inkworks and Rittenhouse in relation to their contents.

This set needs a price guide . 4 of the auctions i've seen for Superman's cape describe it as "worn by..".

I didn't know that.  But still, there's a big difference in color here.



If anyone is interested in adding this set to the price guide and willing to put in the time to enter auctions, please contact Roz.

[padge77]

There seems to be a lot of confusion over the costume cards well at least there is with me , are they screen used swatches or cuts from costumes that were never used but there as replacements ?

Cheers

Paul

Ps Have also voted in the poll for this to go onto the auction pricing list!!

[kbmum]

After a little searching on eBay, some sellers have scans of the backs of the cards.  They say, "genuine material used for the creation of Superman's Cape (or other costume)."  This means the swatches were cut from fabric that was left over after the costumes were made.  It's the same way with Lord of the Rings costume cards by Topps and some of the costumes from HP GOF and GOFU.

Hi All ,

Thanks for the information KBMUM,at least now we know where we all stand in relation to the making and history of this very exciting release.

Anyone have a true uk release date for this set i have emailed a few companies and if I get something then I will post back on here

Cheers

Paul
