Played catchup and picked up a bunch of boxes at the shop last week. After opening one of each and getting burned on them all, I decided to take another crack at the cheaper two (Iron Man and Heroes) that's why there's 2 of each of those. Here's the goods (and I use that term loosely):
Donruss Celebrity Cuts - I wanted to open Americana after seeing some on here, but never found any, so I said I'd take a crack at one box of this - at the price point no guaranteed auto is a big problem, this was a real kick in the junk of a box:
Base /499:
Gold Parallel /25:
Hollywood Icons Insert /200:
Memorabilia /100:
Hollywood Icons Memorabilia Encased /100:
Women of Marvel - picked this up like most NS to get myself the base set, will also chase the inserts, but not likely to collect any sketches as none of my collected characters are in it.
Swimsuit Insert:
Embossed Insert:
Embrace Insert:
Sketch Card - by Uko, but I'm not sure of the character, any help?
Iron Man - From what I'm hearing, guess I really need to see this movie, don't really like that the odds aren't specific on autos or sketches (it's 2 of costume/auto/sketch per box)
Iron Man Archives - got the same 3 in both boxes - yech, anyone need them?
Casting Call:
Armored Hero:
Memorabilia - at least the Pepper Potts is the more rare "bustier" version, although I can't believe they have different versions on the checklist with no difference in numbering etc!
Sketch - Iron Man (duh) by Jason Sobol, glad I opened a second box of this to get this card.
Heroes - was really hoping for a sketch or auto, oh well
Foils - don't scan that well, but look nice, still need # 6 for the set, with spares of 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 10 available
Memorabilia - after getting one in the first box, went for another hoping it would be a sketch or auto, and instead I got the dreaded Parkman costume - NOOOOO!!!!!!!!
That's all for now, more than enough carnage on my bad ripping luck that trip!! Also picked up a Hockey SPA box to rip at home, and trust me it sucked too.
