Eeeeeeeeeek! I can't imagine BUYING a card for that much money!

[grecopa]

And it had 2 bidders!

Hey Jackie...I'm so glad you pulled some of my sketch cards...I LOVE when they go to Yak Shack, NSU or Scoundrel collectors...and if you decide to sell them I hope they get some of your inve$tment money back...

...and thanks for the kind words kbmum and kelly...hope you pull one or two also!!!

These were my pulls...a great Kayanan in the mix...and would you believe I pulled one of my own cards...

...also had 5 DUD boxes with NOTHING in 'em! BOOO! :'(

Hi All I have opened my 10 cases now and I am pretty happy the autos were a let down but the sketches were great have a look at my yield and let me know what you think, I had 2 dud boxes in total but had some cases with an extra auto so ended up doing very well and got 7 gold cards

Awesome pulls Rich! My favourite would have to be the Corroney Han Solo

Hi

I agree it is so lifelike and with the rarity of his cards it is a great card the first card pulled was the Cowan Boba Fett which is a painted card and the detail is great on the whole i was really pleased with the pulls as i think I got a good selection of the rarer artists.
I still have one case left but i am saving that for my birthday on the 20th of august.

Wow some great sketches everyone.

I must say I am a little disappointed with my 2 cases.  I am not sure exactly which ones were in each case so I just scanned 8 x 2.  Both cases had 3 sketches and 5 autos.  I think I would have felt much better if I had at least had 4 sketches per case.  Or at least 1 decent auto per case.  It doesn't seem fair that some case had more than 4 sketches and some had more than 4 autos.  You would think they would have at least been able to split it.    

I do like the few sketches I pulled, but for the price of 2 cases the autos sucked IMO and considering I am only interested in the sketches I could have saved myself a boatload of money by just buying the sketches and a base set. 

[grecopa]

Yeah, sorry to see so many autos, but on the bright side, your sketches are terrific!  A Katie Cook Greedo?  OMG, how cute!

[The Razzer]

i opened my first case yesterday.

Topps have definately made a boo boo on the collation for this set.  lucky if you get a good case but not fair if you don't.  rich was saying he opened 10 cases and didn't get 1 good auto.

out of my 1st case i maanged;



Dave Prowse 
Anthony Daniels 
Peter Mayhew x 2 
Richard Edlund

3 sketches

1 gold card and expected blue and red ratios.

i couldn't believe my luck.  first pack of the first box was prowse, next box was mayhew, then daniels!!! i suppose it wouldbe too much luck to have a harrison or fisher auto in there as well. i'mhappy with that cast though.  see if the other 3 yield the same luck.

Now I know why I didn't pull a single decent auto out of the 16 cases I have opened so far. Thanks Topps, great job.

[bush360]

Hi

great case, now i am slightly annoyed a daniels 2x mayhews and a prowse collation is a total joke based on insert retios I was relieved to pull the prowse but for one case to hold so many good autos it is a bit of a joke.

Regards

Rich

its not just me either with a fluke case.  if you check out the scoundrel website, there are a few posts on their forum where cases have yielded the same sort of inserts. 

the same is true of sketch cards also.  someone pulled 2 Rafael Kanyan's from the same case.

also reports of dud boxes and boxes with 2 autos in.

[Roz]

lol - congratulations. I'm sure it hurts to see a break like that in one case when some people haven't had anything that good in 10, I haven't bought any of this set, it's not my cup of tea, but I have been in that situation many times before, but we need to hear if the other cases are magic too so get cracking

[HPfamily]

WOW!!!  Excellent pulls!!!!
Congrats!!!!

[Bryanjs14]

no that is definetly a fluke.

Some people have pulled two high end autos in a case, but never 4. And you misread the post about the double Kayanan. The guy opened 3 or more cases and pulled them out of multiple cases from the same shipment.

[The Razzer]

ok,sorry if i mis-read the post. 

the extra mayhew auto is on ebay if any one is interested.  only 99p starting with no reserve.

LOL - OK Paul. If you're struggling to find the time to open the remaining cases you know where I'll be tomorrow night

Hi All

Just to clarify. It was me who pulled the two kayanans and they were from the same case.

[Bryanjs14]

I stand corrected and I apoligize Razzer, it was I who Misread. I thought he opened up a couple cases and happened to pull them from the cases opened.

Hi All

Just to clarify. It was me who pulled the two kayanans and they were from the same case.

Please post the scans/pics for us if you get a chance.  Congrats, without seeing them I am thinking that is one of the best cases in the lot.
