: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: Roz May 01, 2006, 06:41:22 PM
Hey guys, I can scarcely believe that there's no topic for this.

The trailer's here:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/supermanreturns/hd/

True, Batman is cooler than Superman and would easily win in a fight (*ducks behind the table and waits for a debate*), but I was totally taken by surprise as to how cool the Batman Begins movie was and don't want to miss out again ;D luckily it was still possible to get cases of BB and I did complete my set (eventually :) but it took time.

Cases seem to be 24 packs per box, 8 box case as is pretty usual for Topps these days, but the odds look good (although you KNOW there will be some impossible pulls here).

This is what we know so far, no individual odds, they will probably print them on the packet though:

Memorabilia Inserts (2 per Box!!!):

Brandon Routh "Superman" - Superman Suit
Brandon Routh "Superman" - Superman Cape
Brandon Routh "Superman" - Superman Briefs
Brandon Routh "Clark Kent" - Suit
Brandon Routh "Clark Kent" - Coat
Kate Bosworth "Lois Lane" - Skirt
Kate Bosworth "Lois Lane" - Trousers
Kevin Spacey "Lex Luthor" - Coat
Kevin Spacey "Lex Luthor" - Suit
Frank Langella "Perry White" - Coat
Frank Langella "Perry White" - Suit
Parker Posey "Kitty Kowalski" - Flower Dress
Parker Posey "Kitty Kowalski" - Zebra Dress.

Autograph Cards (1 in every 58 Packs)


Brandon Routh as "Superman"
Kevin Spacey as "Lex Luthor"
Kate Bosworth as "Lois Lane"
Sam Huntington as "Jimmy Olsen"
James Marsden as "Richard White"
Parker Posey as "Kitty Kowalski"

Is anyone else getting any? I'm sorely tempted  :-\

Hi Roz, I'm tempted. Some good autos there. But will probably give it a miss. Already invested in HP over the next two months and don't really fancy a pair of Brandon Routh's briefs!!


: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: cardz_house May 01, 2006, 07:49:12 PM
Memorabilia inserts are just too many and I am sure you can get many of them at less than US$10 or even US$5 each on ebay. Just look at what prices the LOTR evolution frodo, pippin and merry's memorabilias are fetching now.

As for the autos, I guess if you want the top autos, you will have to buy cases as I am sure they will be very limited, maybe somewhere along the line of the King Kong set. The rest should be affordable around US$10-20 depending on the characters.

So in other words, no, I won't be getting a case, would definitely be cheaper picking them off one by one on ebay. Besides, have already invested my money on 2 cases of GOFU which I think is a far more worthwhile purchase.

: Martyn May 01, 2006, 09:01:33 PM
Im getting a case of Superman Returns  :D

3 Auto's and 16 Costumes per case. Can't wait!



: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: sketchqueen May 02, 2006, 12:18:47 AM
There are two things I'm worried about here

I'm worried that with 16 costumes in a case, and 13 costumes to be had, that they're either going to be $10 cards, OR we'll see a lot of some of them and very few of others (ie, not close to a complete set within a case)

I'm worried about the rarity of something like a Kevin Spacey auto - I mean, I remember Daredevil *lol*

On the other hand, I did really well with Batman - completed that set in no time and not too expensively, I might add. My case broke better than most, so I fear I'm due a little cosmic retribution and I'd get the case with 2 autos (and the same auto twice at that!)



: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: Bryanjs14 May 02, 2006, 01:01:55 AM
Yeah, I gotta agree about the autographs.
Kevin Spacey I think is going to be a TOUGH pull. I cannot imagine him signing to many. Although maybe he is one of those actors that really does enjoy his fans and will not mind signing. I think Spacey and Routh are both going to be tough pulls, i cannot imagine Topps wanting a Superman autograph to be an easy pull.

I really really like the line up of costumes, but the question is, Material used in the making, or the real thing? If it is the real thing beware, I will be in a bidding war with some of you lol.


: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: Martyn May 02, 2006, 01:50:26 AM
Superman Briefs will be limited, as Brief arn't that big!

: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: Bryanjs14 May 07, 2006, 03:07:00 AM
Oh they are hitting ebay!

I think SOME of the costume cards might be screen used and not material used in the making of...1 or 2 at least...from the auctions I have seen

Although they are using the sticker autographs, I do like to look of the autograph cards!


: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: Martyn May 07, 2006, 03:13:00 AM
Yep, there using sickers and i think they look pritty kool, they add that extra something to the cards  ;D

I knew the Spacey and Routh would be tough pulls...

12 cases is actually better than I thought it would be lol. Seriously though. I MUST get my hands on this set. I love it!

: beckham1 May 09, 2006, 09:38:09 AM
I would take a pass on "Superman's Briefs" personally. 


: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: Bryanjs14 May 09, 2006, 10:58:16 AM
Hey, hey now.
He wears them OVER the suit. So they are technically as clean as anything


: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: beckham1 May 09, 2006, 11:14:37 AM
I don't care if he wore them on his head...still a pass for me.

: deza992450 May 13, 2006, 12:57:11 PM
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.


: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: Martyn May 13, 2006, 02:08:06 PM
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.


: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: Roz May 13, 2006, 03:43:17 PM

Hi, :D 8) >:() |:# :rofl:

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 ;) :D

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!!! :rofl: :rofl:

Cheers

Paul


: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: Roz May 18, 2006, 02:36:07 PM
It depends... in this case we got the info from the company though (from the side of packets ;))



: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns

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


: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: padge77 May 18, 2006, 03:08:51 PM
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

Is anyone else surprised by the low bids on most of the costume cards?  I just won one for 99 cents. :o  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.


: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: padge77 May 18, 2006, 06:36:34 PM
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

Paul

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


: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: bush360 May 18, 2006, 06:54:09 PM
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.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/kbmum/lexcoat.jpg)

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 May 18, 2006, 07:36:25 PM
There seems to be a lot of confusion over the costume cards well at least there is with me :rofl: :rofl:, 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!!


: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: kbmum May 18, 2006, 08:02:47 PM
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.

At least by purchassing from the States we know we will get at least some very soon.

So can't wait to see what we pull,will let you all know if anyone is interested with pic's if a really rare one come's out!!

: Our cards!!!! Superman Returns
: padge77 May 24, 2006, 04:06:45 PM
Morning All ;) :) :D ;D

We received our 2 boxes of these cards and as new collectors are VERY HAPPY AND FEEL LUCKY!!!. We pulled the following cards shown below ,no autocards unfortunatly but we did get 4 costume cards (all different),and 4 foil chase card.

COSTUME CARDS PULLED 2 FROM EACH BOX

1 X LEX LUTHOR'S COAT (WHITE SWATCH)
1 X LEX LUTOR'S 3 PIECE SUIT (BLACK SWATCH)
1 X KITTY KOWLASKI'S FLOWER DRESS (MULTI-COLOURED SWATCH WITH FLOWER LIKE BLOBS  OF COLOUR)
1 X PERRY WHITES  3 PIECE SUIT (DENIM TYPE COLOURED SWATCH)

2X SUPERMAN FOILS ( 3 OF 5)
2 X SUPERMAN FOILS ( 2 OF 5)

We feel what we got was lucky and are now fully hyped to recieving our case hopefully finish our costume set at least. We are wandering if the costume cards we got if any are harder to get than others,we would really appreciate people's thought and opinions. I will start putting the base cards in the pockets later on today, to see if we have at least (fingers crossed) 1 full set.
I like to put the pics of our cards on here but dont know how to put on once loaded on to pc.

Cheers

Paul

Hi Chris ;) :D ;D,

Just wandering and call me naive if you like but the doubles you posted are they costume or autocards? Also might 1 case that we are getting bring just as good odds just excited after our pulls on costume cards from just 2 boxes.

Also we would like to take this opportunity to thank Tom Breyer (who's shop on :ebay: is tomunique (link  http://stores.ebay.com/TOMUNIQUE (http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-1738318-5463217?loc=http%3A//stores.ebay.com/TOMUNIQUE)).

We hope our odd's on 1 case is as good as what you had with 2 be over the moon if we got one of the top auto's!!!.
Also some people are concerned about the low price's for the costume cards etc.. at the moment,I be lieing if we werent collecting in the hope of a good return for a complete set in time but we do also collect because we like the sets we have. I feel the prices will be like the Batman return's cards were once the film is released(as the bb cards were fairly low before the release!!).

I may be wrong ::)

Hi ;) :D ;D

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  :ebay: 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.

Hi All ;) :D ;D,

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?

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

: padge77 May 31, 2006, 02:54:43 PM
Hi All ;) :D ;D,

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

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.

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


: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: padge77 June 19, 2006, 11:03:44 PM
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.

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.

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.

Morning All ;) :D ;D

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  :ebay: 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

Yay! It sounds like there'll be a Superman Returns Update - one dealer on ebay has a sell sheet for it :o

There were rumours after Batman Begins that there would be an update set, but it never came off. Then again, they didn't get as far as making sell sheets for that.


: Re: Topps 2006 Superman Returns
: padge77 July 24, 2006, 10:07:03 PM
Do you know what the update will consist of costume and autocard wise?,do you have a scan of the sell sheet and a possible date?

Do you think this will increase the price of original set up a little I have a few to get sold but prices still low, just sold a cape for £10.50
