Should have my first case on tuesday I will post a breakdown once I have broken it down. I have a second acase which should arrive arround thurs/friday time.

[padge77]

Hi

It will be interesting to see what your breakdown is BUSH as we are only buying the 1 case due to not a very big budget as we have spent or in process of spending $800(payment over few months)on the last 4 autocards needed for Batman Begins (neeson,oldman,holmes and caine)so good luck with your case we cant get ours till june 16th when partner gets paid cant wait we are well hyped after getting 4 costume cards all different in just 2 boxes whixh wasn't bad I think.
Also got a bargin for 2 autocards for £24 including postage on  for the superman set.


Cheers

Yeah, I am hoping I get some good autos to help cover the cost of the cases as I am not to sure on some of the costume card valuations. I think LOTR EVO and the new GOFU has shifted the money in the hobby away from this set. I might hold onto my cards until the film comes out.

Great breakdown!  Did one of your boxes have three costumes?

[padge77]

Hi All ,

That's a good breakdown there well done,at least you got 3 different auto's!!, can't wait to get our case on 16th june,we bought only 2 boxes a few weeks back and got 3 full base set's (including 1 for ourselves) is this about right for 2 boxes in way on base set's?

Cheers

Great breakdown!  Did one of your boxes have three costumes?

By my count there 16 cosumes there, so two per box!

[padge77]

Hi All ,

Why is it when you get an autocard in the packet with this set you just get 1 other card?,or is the norm for a lot of trading card sets?

Cheers

Paul

[bush360]

Hi

Thanks everyone for your comments, in answer there were 2 costumes per box with 3 boxes having 2 costumes and 1 auto. Good Variety I thought.

You get 1 card in the Costume packs purely as if you put the costume plus the other 6 cards it would be easier to cherry pick although the packs are pretty stiff when a costume is in there.

Cool,getting our case next week fingers crossed we get some good pulls

Morning All,

This is a varient of Perry White's suit I got off of  last night thought would show you all what do you all think.




Cheers

Paul

[kbmum]

I like it!  I wonder what part of the suit would have that snowflake print?

[padge77]

Thats a very good question maybe someone might be able to tell us,my theory on it is maybe the snowflake design was on the lapels on the front of the jacket or maybe a stitching design on the underside of either the jacket,waistcoat or trousers.


Cheers

For anyone needing a Superman Returns binder pop into your local Woolworths and take a look in the Stationary section as theres a stationary set with binder, pencil case etc and the binder will come in handy for the collection,

Its only 2 ringed but it should be ok, i'm picking one up tomorrow so i'll post images of it.

[padge77]

Heres the Perry White 3 Piece Suit varient we bought ,It's a really cool varient of the suit





Cheers

Paul

[Ouderhill]

I think there are loads of variations in this set. I was looking on ebay and there are currently 4 superman briefs cards on there, 2 in shops and 2 on auction, but only one of them has the patterned effect that matches the superman blue suit. Has anyone else noticed that some superman briefs have a square pattern on them and some don't? The superman suit also has this square pattern.

Look, stolen pictures from ebay follow, but I know the seller so it's ok.

I thought as we near the Uk release of the film that prices would of looked a little healthier for costumes and auto cards but seemingly on  prices are still farly low,will this change as I have a few costume cards but dont want to sell for too smaller amount and not sure when the right time might be,i was thinking maybe just after film is in cinemas or too hold on longer?
If anyone id after any costumes and want a list of what I have please Pm me , also will this set be incorporated on the price guide and if anyone needs help in setting up I am more than happy to help where I can as being off with back injury has given me lots of free time and could do with something to stimulate the brain matter again.

Cheers
