Bit the bullet and bought a case.

Here's how I went with the first six boxes.

Box 1:

i) Jim Salicrup (former Marvel editor) autograph (I wont bother uploading the sigs unless I get a Stan Lee or Tom DeFalco)

ii) Xmen Hologram Card (1:72 packs) - H71 Marvel Girl

Box 2:

i) Bill Jemas (former Marvel writer and VP) autograph. (Yes, my only pull for the whole box :()



Box 3:

i) Marvel Girl(?) sketch by Erik Reeves

Box 4: (completed base set on very last pack of this box)

i) Xmen Hologram card - H45 Armor

ii) Deadpool sketch by Michael 'Locoduck' Duron

Box 5:

i) Vision sketch by Uko Smith

Box 6:

i) Dan Green (inker) autograph card

ii) Quasar(?) sketch by Kevin Sharpe

That's it so far. Definitely worth getting the case noting I didn't even have the base set complete until four full boxes were busted. Still missing heaps from the chase sets.

Pulls got better from box 3 on...

Will post more as I bust more :D

Cheers for the comments guys. Like Dave, my favourite sketch so far is Quasar, but I do love the Deadpool as well.

Well, here's my hits from the next three boxes.


Box 7:

i) Steve Epting autograph. I am uploading this one as Epting did the cover art for the issue (card), which makes it cool (though probably not any more valuable lol)

ii) Xmen Hologram Card - H50 Cable

Box 8: (completed 45-card Avengers chase set on second-last pack of this box)

i) Xmen Hologram Card - H43 Angel
Angel - H.jpg



ii) Wasp sketch by Rhiannon Owens

Box 9:

i) Magneto sketch by Ian Yoshio Roberts

That's it for now. Am having a lot of fun tracking down the artist names based on their signature 'marks'.

Should be able to bust the last 3 boxes over the weekend, and will post on Monday.

Will put any Lord Mesa sketch aside for you Dave :thumbsup:

Rhiannon Owens is a good one to get...

Don't know how you're managing to string the busts out...sealed boxes usually don't last too long around me !! :woot: I'm looking forward to an assorted box break of my own tomorrow !

Heh heh yeah man - a box bust seems to be over in minutes once the base set is complete.
From then on it's just ploughing through looking for the big chase or sketch hits - everything else just goes into a big 'later' pile.
Had a day off to bust the first 6, but am snatching time for the rest (but they wont last long :lol:)

Cheers Dave, that is a very helpful site (such a good idea too). Will keep it handy.

That site is great, used it myself many times, but I was wondering if we should start a thread up on here where we scan the sigs of the cards we've all pulled and compile them into a permanent reference ?

That sounds good to me, I have a few I can add.
 
Nice break so far. I really like the Deadpool sketch. I have been contemplating a case of this myself with the great price DA has it for.
 
And the last three...


Box 10:

i) Autograph card of inker John Beatty

ii) 1/1 Yellow printing plate of card #307 - Sage

Box 11: (completed 60-card Marvel Prime Micromotion chase set on second last pack of this box)

i) Autograph card of colourist Laura Martin. Meh



Box 12:

i) Cannonball sketch by Lak Lim

Nice to finish off with a sweet colour sketch.

For the case overall, I beat the sketch-card-pull odds (by one), and matched the odds for all the other rare pulls. Then there was the bonus of a printing plate, so no complaints about the hit rate.

For the guys thinking about getting a case of MB2, I would say most definitely go for it - I think the Micromotion chase cards in particular are a really nice looking subset. And, as has been mentioned by a few of us - these cases are relatively cheap now.

Of course I now have an insane amount of spare base and chase cards from this set, so let me know if you want or need anything.

Billy.
