I recently splashed out on 4 boxes of FOTR cards. US Hobby release.

All four boxes had two auto cards in. No complaints there.  ;D

However one of the autos in each box was a Sam/Sean Astin card. Couldn't believe it. Four Sam's.   :(  Was really hoping for more of a variety.
I also got two Galadriels, one Frodo and an Arwen.
Can anyone remember back to when these came out, was it usual for the boxes containing two auto's to have at least one Sam in them? I vaguely remember the only box I got with two auto's in was a Frodo and Sam.

lol, are your diamond shoes too tight too?

Well whilst it's not perfect getting 4 Sams, they were bonuses ;) so why not post them in the trading section and see what you can change them into?

Jo opened a box of this recently - did she get a Sam and a Galdriel or am I making things up on the spot?

It wasn't really a moan Roz. I was over the moon to do so well. I realise only 50% of the boxes had two autos in so to get four boxes is damn lucky.
I was more surprised. If the autos are randomly inserted the the chances of this happening are quite slim, but if there is some sort of order to the packing of the boxes maybe its more than just chance. Just wandered what other peoples experiences had been.

I opened one last year - I pulled a Galadriel and a Bilbo. I was hoping for a single Frodo auto, so I had no complaint :D Nice pulls from you boxes!
