According to the UK distributor who is 99% of the source of our knowledge  rumours of relic cards have been greatly exaggerated... in fact plucked out of thin air! From the sounds of it only different sketches will be split into the 2 waves so far but only time will tell the whole story |

Roz,
have you heard anything from your source on auto's or sketch card ratios?
I will be pissed if its not 1 sketch per box and at least one auto per case of "top tier" cast membersf

I have heard things but nothing is confirmed. For you cards inc resellers/buyers it looks like 90% of their orders will be fulfilled with wave one which is nice - it looks like wave 2 will be rare in the UK |

This wave 1 wave 2 thing could really ruin this set. If they put the big 2 auto's in wave 1 and other less valuable ones in wave 2.....argggg!
I have 3 cases ordered and I will most likely be at the mercy of the dealers.
Of course they will send you the crappier of the 2 waves!
This is just total BS

Is anyone else getting worried about this set???
Sounds like Topps lack of info on this set means that they are going to screw this one up and don't want people to know, so they won't try to pull out (I realize preorder is final, but I am sure they don't want all there dealers burning the phones up with complaints)
I have this feeling overproduced and not enough auto's to even do one a case!

Well... I have to admit I have my worries too - but wave one is very sold out - so I'd imagine at least that was a good sign.
I don't think ROTK sold out!

lets apply some maths with the stated odds if we say that mark hamil signed 100 cards and extrapulate from there as a test on the odds to see how much is out there i make it that
there would be 18,955 boxes or 2369 cases
autos
hamil 100
fisher 230
J E Jones 854
sketches
Level A 937 (133 average each)
Level B 1975 (246 average each)
Level C 1328 (332 average each)
Level D 2566 (641 average each)
Level E 891 (891 average each)
Level F 1271 (1271 average each)
Level G 3807 (1903 average each)
Level H 5076 (2536 average each)
Total sketches 17851
Total autos 1184
so if it was a 20,000 box run this would be quite close really
so hamil could be 3 x rarer that Fellowship merry so anyone want to pre order one at £3600?
No I don't either

I have to say that i think this set will still sell well but there will only be a few happy people (apart from topps racking in the cash) with such high odds of a hamill card i can't see collectors rushing out to buy 24 + cases to get one and with the prices they will sell for on ebay i think only the rich or extremely lucky will be having one of those autos. As for the top level of sketches being so rare you would have to buy a minimum of 18 cases to get the full set of sketches

I will be getting 1 of my 3 cases of SW Heritage on Wed the 29th! The other two will probably take a week to get to me from the East Coast.
Has anyone else got their boxes yet or when are you expecting them?

The UK release is supposed to be the 27th. I think that will be the day dealers can pick them up - those that opt to have them shipped free will probably get them the 28th and then will ship them on to customers! ... when you've all opened them I'd love to see some sketches!  |

Well never mind i contacted cards inc today and it looks like the shipment is delayed getting over to the UK and they are now expecting them Friday or maybe Monday so I don't think we will see many UK cards till about Tuesday / Wednesday next week really

Just picked up one of my cases tonight!
6 boxes into the 8 box case and 3 very nice sketch cards and 3 not so impressive! Hope to post some images of my sketch cards this weekend!
