Unfortunately, I did not know just how much of the model was going to be shown (if you know what I mean). After opening one packet (of the 30 in the box) I realised that this is probably not the sort of cards that the wife would appreciate me having around!!
As a result, the box (29 sealed and one opened pack!!) has been sitting in a carton with a bunch of other neglected things for a month or two now!!
Might have to do a sale thread for that and some other non-sport sets, boxes, inserts etc that I would like to move along.
Mate, u are not going to believe this, box arrived this morning, got set at the table and opened the remaining packets from 'Images of Josephine', quite tasteful actually, they only show upstairs, no downstairs if u know what I mean. Anyway, all opened and got them sorted by number to build the 72 card base set and what happens then, my daughter sits down with her lunch and a glass of coke, knocks the coke everywhere and scores a direct hit on half of the cards............................the cards are made on 24pt paper with a rough edge, they soaked the coke like a sponge and and started lifting the glossy top and bottom of the card.
For the 30 odd minutes I got to look at them they looked OK.............lol
Got a base set made thank god................lol, only two inserts and they were the omnicrome inserts or whatever they are called, can get the rest of US ebay for 1.00 dollar each............no auto's, now that would have been nice.
I am glad that you got a base set at least.
I can imagine that the auto's were inserted at a pretty rediculous ratio, would have been super lucky to pull one!
