WOW great Glebe sketch & first serial number on the Ralphie short print! Congrats!

Has anyone seen an artist checklist for this set yet?

Awesome pulls mtcrab! You hit the jackpot there with Box 1. Hard to open a better box than that. Congrats!!

Sara Manzoni, one of the better sketches I've hit.

Did one lonely box. Got a RD Robb auto, an elf sketch, and a 1/1 Brilliance Card of the first card in the set! Base Card 1. No idea of the value on these but hopefully it helps in some small way towards getting those dual autos!

Here's a short interview with Scott Schwartz about the card set on GTS. Apparently he helped out in getting the other actors to sign. Pretty cool!

Checklist is up with artists:

Couple of minor errors/omissions regarding Yano Anaya. He's left off the blue #/5 and red 1/1 autographs but the YA2 red 1/1 is already listed on eBay. Plus the YA1 short print of him is #'d to 89, not 85. And the dual of Zack Ward and him is #'d to 255, not 205.

My case is out for delivery. I’m not a sketch collector so if anyone is looking for specific artists or characters (or duplicate autos) lmk and I can reach out if I find anything.

[StevieV]

There may be even fewer than 500 cases made. If you calculate it by the odds of pulling an Ice Foil variant #/40, it adds up to 440 cases made. If you calculate it by the odds of pulling a Prismatic Foil variant #/25, it adds up to even less cases at around 424. All the autographs add up to 5885 which would put it at around 490.4 cases but that's if no autos were held back.

Interesting. Also it looks like the cases are individually numbered which is pretty cool. Someone took the time to do that which is more than I can say for Fanatics & Panini. Panini really ruined basketball cards for me UGH.

I was afraid to buy any boxes of this stuff, because 1 or 2 boxes wouldn't be enough. I would have to collect all the autos & have a sketch of each character. I would have ended up spending more than I should have!
While the price was solid for what you get, this is certainly a collectors set & finally something not for the breakers & flippers.

I’m hoping my 2 boxes come in before Christmas, and I hope I can get the dual ralphie and Randy. That’s all I want

There are definitely collectors building the Prismatic & Ice Foils master sets. I personally love these parallels especially the cards that feature key scenes. It was a nice bonus to see Cryptozoic numbered their parallels as opposed to what they did with Rick & Morty. Adds a lot more value to the breaks if you hit the right one. Plus those Brilliance 1/1s are pretty sweet looking.

I completed the ghostbusters set from cryptozoic, got all the autographs, slime, patches etc. I hope this set is as fun as gb was.

I was going to mention that also. In the beginning when I was trying to figure out value for the box cost I wasn't even considering those, but they do add value - particularly if you pull the right ones like you said.

And it looks like the next set to release in this format, Conan, will only have 250-260 cases. Maybe all of this type of offering from CZE will be small batch.

Still wishing this was a Conan O'Brien set!

Opened my lone box today. Wish I could’ve bought more. Cryptozoic did an amazing job with this set! Happy to hit a sketch from a pretty big part of the movie as well. The ornament is /25.

The things they could do with that though I'm sure NBC would charge a pretty penny.

Jut pulled this really beautiful Glebe sketch of the exterior shot of the house.

I think that was the best sketch shown. So beautiful.

[Malsk]

Nice sale on the Glebe sketch. They really do amazing work on a small surface.
