Was feeling the urge, so ordered a bunch of boxes this week and broke them today. Primarily looking for some nice sketches, but just for fun too.
Firstly 4 boxes of Beginnings 2. Did okay here as the boxes with auto's for the most part had a sketch as well. Only one box was a bit of a fizzer... Pulled a holo of Nightcrawler as well
Autos -
Eliopoulos
Maleev
Bradstreet
Also pulled a pretty neat plate featuring Wolverine -
Sketches -
Very cool looking Black Panther by Patricia Ross
Apocalypse by Chris Foreman.
And this real nice Hulk by Josef Rubinstein
Next up one box of Beginnings 3. Got another decent plate -
And the sketch -
Human Torch by Von Randal
Also got a free Skrull box that delivered a plate -
Next up two boxes of Women of Marvel 2. A couple of Emeralds of Lady Mastermind (39) and Songbird (74) and these sketches -
Mystique by Cal Slayton (will PC this one)
And I think this is Misty Knight by Arley (Arturo) Tucker
And just so DC don't feel left out, I did one box of New 52 which delivered this nice sketch of Vixen by artist ???? There's no sig... Grrrr!
That was the last of the comic type stuff, but I also bought three boxes of Thor Dark World. Really hoping for a Jaimie Alexander Auto and a nice sketch or two..
Aethers were pretty plain, but did add another Sif to the PC. Some of the movie scenes really don't lend themselves to this treatment - too hard to make out.
And did pretty well out of the costume cards with a few of the more popular cast members.
Then on to the sketches -
Nice scene of Hercules by Babisu Kourtis
And another nice one, this time Beta Ray Bill by Bienefer Flores
Lastly there was this one of Malekith the Accursed - signed but I haven't made it out yet - any thoughts ?
And in the very first pack from the box I opened I pulled this - Pretty damn nice !
The other two boxes didn't net an auto, but my box wasn't done yet... in the 3rd pack I pulled this -

BOOM !!
Are you freaking kidding me ?? I'm not ashamed to admit I squeeled like a little girl - on the inside of course !!
Two big autos in one box, that's just unbelieveable ! And one of them the single auto I wanted most. I thought it was over once I pulled the Levi, but sometimes the card Gods are very kind to us.
So all in all a pretty super afternoon of breaks. Not many PC sketch hits, but all good quality and pulling the auto I wanted as well as another to help pay for the boxes, just doesn't get much better than that!!
Thanks for looking. If there's anything amongst this you'd be interested in give me a yell.
