Breygent Movie Posters

[dd316]

I got one box.

First off, there are 24 packs in the box. Breygent sets normally have 40, so right off the bat these are way more limited than their other sets.

So I tear into the box, and let me tell you, the base cards are gorgeous! Every card has this glitter ink on them that just makes them look spectacular, easily one of the best base sets I've ever seen! This pic doesn't do them justice:



I got the stated number of inserts, which compared to the base set are pretty bland looking. Most of them are puzzle pieces on a foil background.

Cut signatures are inserted one per case, and I didn't get any.


Now onto the sketches. You're supposed to get one per box. I was hoping that I wouldn't pull one of mine because that's just strange. So I open the pack that has the sketch (I knew it right away because there was a penny sleeve in the pack - Breygent inserts their sketches and autos in penny sleeves inside the packs). This is what I see:



And I'm very happy because it's not one of mine. So I flip it over to the front and I see this:



Yes, it's one of mine! They inserted two sketch cards into the penny sleeve and doesn't it figure, one is mine! Anyways, here's the other sketch by Rowena Pagarigan:




What I found really cool was the checklist - I'm on it! I managed to infiltrate the base set!




So, I ended up beating all the possible odds by pulling two sketches, including one of my own. I got one complete set, and I'm 11 cards short of a second, no triples!


This set is just awesome.

dude thats sweet to see your work in production like that. well done! please let us know in the future which sets you do... in the last few months, this board has gained more interest in non sports cards, (i think)... but nice stuff@!

Thanks so much for sharing...again! That was a great post. I wish everyone could start threads like this one with that much excitement and information.

Great work on the sketches you do and congrats on making the checklist.

glad to see that the board has another "insider"..lol. i have a question...... how does an artist get chosen to produce sketch cards for any particular set?

[lost-in-cards]

I have opened 3 boxes and NO sketch card. I did not find an autograph either, not that I expected one, but 0 stetch cards. Do I contact Breygent about this? Anyone else not receive a sketch card?
I do love the cards. Great selection of posters.
The boxes are numbered out of 3000 by the way.
Thanks Gail

"Another"? Who else is on here?
I don't know how others do it, but I just had to contact the card companies and keep on top of things.
