If all the autographs and wardrobe cards are numbered like in the pictures it will be easy to figure out once the checklist comes out.

Same price ($329.95) as the competition but Blowout has boxes and cases. The other guys only have boxes.

There are two sketch cards by William Crabb on eBay, not sure what that's about.

Wish I knew which two characters were featured on the Binder exclusive relic. Hate the look of the binder so I don't really wanna buy it blindly.

Step 1: make product unavailable or available in short bursts while raising the price
Step 2: create pandemonium when people can’t buy product but see cool cards coming out
Step 3: continue to drip feed product at higher and higher prices
Step 4: profit.

Yep, price just jumped $100 within the last few hours for a case. From $1849 to $1949.

Is buying a box @ $330 a risk or do you need to buy a case? I assume we will need to see breaks to figure that out.

Better buy it now before it jumps again. I worked at GameStop and saw how Nintendo did business. If you can create an artificial shortage, you can create almost unlimited demand.

I’ve been saying this for years, the money singles are going for hasn’t gone up anywhere near what the price of wax has. Taking advantage of FOMO and degenerate gamblers has been a boon to wax dealers and case breakers.

A lot of artists have shared their sketch cards on Twitter. I just want some Superman cards, but $330?

I don’t think there is some artificial shortage here, I think most big dealers ignored it and didn’t order it not knowing there would be any demand. Blowout sure as heck didn’t order hundreds of case of if not knowing if anybody would want it. And if they’re getting demand on it now after ordering all shut down, yes of course their prices going to be higher since buy in is higher

I called my distributor a month ago and this was still open order since so many ignored it, I asked for a good number of cases and got approved immediately. I’m sure a few of us who could see the writing on the wall did the same, and we aren’t the ones out there pumping presells on it but rather waiting for it to come in and see how it looks once in hand.

Just pick up the singles of the ones you like. Much less expensive than taking chances on boxes if you're only after very specific cards.

He's selling then on his own ebay account, so I presume they're artist returns, even though they don't seem to be marked that way. He's on blowout, so you could ask him through PMs if you want.

I usually do, but it is always nice to pull some fresh ones. Hopefully the resale prices are reasonable.

Got 2 of my cases today and I think people are really going to enjoy this set. I especially love the design of the autograph cards (Best design and selection of images out of all the DC TV shows sets they have made in my opinion.

Happy to add Tom Cavanagh as Harrison Wells, Nicole Maines as Nia Nal & Katherine McNamara as Mia Smoak in my collection.


The highlights include:

Grant Gustin & Melissa Benoist Dual Autograph #/40
Grant Gustin Autograph Sketch Card
Triple Wardrobe of Amell/Gustin/Benoist #/75
Katharine McNamara Str Pwr Printing Plate 1/1

Also got an Autograph redemption card (Didn't state who it's for) & 2 Sketch card redemptions.

Thank you! I really love the dual autograph I got and it's definitely a keeper for me.

I am wondering who the autograph redemption is as well. Cryptozoic usually only do redemption on oversize cards, so I'm hoping for something cool. Hopefully we get the checklist soon

I guess we'll see what autos are live once people start opening, maybe it'll get figured out due to process of elimination. I guess they figured they'd delayed the set long enough and just wanted to get it out. The big names seem to be live at least.

Saw another one sell for $250 in one of the FB groups. Gonna try to keep track of all autos and try to hit up Cryptozoic on social media to see if they can tell us who the redemption is. Kind of hoping they make an announcement about it.
