Big Bang Theory Seasons 3 & 4 Coming Soon

[edygriff21]

Righto guys, this is were i found the bad news. Click on the crypto facebook page. On the right hand side you'll see "recent posts by others". Go down to the third person Chris Davis. Click on his question about once upon a time cards. You'll get the usual facebook pop up. Now scroll down till you find a question by Mike Harris. This is where sad faces will be found.

this is going to be an awesome product to open whether you are looking at it collector wise or resale wise just a nice product!!

[Bizzydesigner]

What is the potential release date for this? It has to be soon, no? Looking to pick one up for my wife and myself. It's our favorite show.

Thanks. I figured it out when I said to myself "duh. Google it" lol it doesn't appear to be available for presale anywhere, huh?

[CAS239]

It's available for pre sale on multiple sites

[Yellow601]

Even though it says odds are 1 per case for the main 7 autos, I reckon some cases will still have more. Season 1 cases were getting 1-3 of the main cast, so I'm guessing the same will happen with this set. But Cryptozoic just guarantee 1 per case so they don't get a whole bunch of emails when people don't get more in a case. The same as they are only guaranting 1 wardrobe per box, yet they said it's most likely that most boxes will have 2. Just to cover their bases and not have hundreds of emails saying they didn't get this number of cards in their boxes/ cases.
So I'm still going on the idea that you'll get at least one of the main cast in a case, but most likely 2 or even 3. Only time will tell.
Hope I'm right otherwise a master set will be almost impossible and super expensive for most.

Dang, was hoping to pick up some more boxes of this. If anyone has a site I can order them on please private message me.

Thanks.

[MeetJSquared]

Keep checking Blowout or eBay. Blowout will probably have more available in the coming weeks.

I have a case pre-ordered, but I would like another, or at least more boxes.

[Greengoblin782]

Don't want to be a pain but what is a good price to purchase a case at?

Used to be $700, then went up to 750-800. Got mine at $865 like two weeks ago. Now it's like $900-1000. Anything $900 or less seems like a good price now. We can only expect the price to rise upon release.

Yup. My box in reg auction is at $99 already, ending tomorrow. Just insane. But then again, we all knew this would happen.

[Greengoblin782]

Currently looking at buying two cases if I can move some funds around by tomorrow.

[Tim]

one per case from the big 7? ouch. i will be selling my wax now.

[bolo2002b]

im afraid im going to have to spent about 550 or more for Kaley Cuoco auto/wardrobe card since season 1 is going too damn high there not even a seller selling it on ebay. Anyone here agrees with me?

I think it will be more than that especially if the rate of 1 per case is true. This would mean there are less than 100 of each.

4 printing plates of the 67 base cards:

1 per 627 packs (contrary to checklist which states 1 per 864)
1 per 26 boxes
1 per 2.2 cases

25 Redemption cards of each Girls and Boys of The Big Bang Theory for a total of 50:

1 per 3360 packs
1 per 140 boxes
1 per 11.6 cases

7000 autographs (1 per box)

So now the big assumptions of how many each person signed:

Autograph Line-up

A1 - Johnny Galecki
1. (100 Cards)---1 per 5.8 cases
2. (150 Cards)---1 per 3.9 cases

A2 - Jim Parsons
1. (100 Cards)---1 per 5.8 cases
2. (150 Cards)---1 per 3.9 cases

A3 - Kaley Cuoco
1. (100 Cards)---1 per 5.8 cases
2. (150 Cards)---1 per 3.8 cases

Odds of hitting one of the big 3 at the #1 autograph rate is 1 per 1.94 cases
Odds of hitting one of the big 3 at thie #2 autograph rate is 1 per 1.30 cases

A4 - Simon Helberg
1. (150 Cards)---1 per 3.88 cases
2. (200) Cards---1 per 2.91 cases

Odds of hitting one of the above combined at the #1 autograph rate is 1 per 1.3 cases
Odds of hitting one of the above combined at the #2 autograph rate is 1 per .89 cases

A5 - Kunal Nayyar
1. (150 Cards)---1 per 3.88 cases
2. (200 Cards)---1 per 2.91 cases

Odds of hitting one of the above combined at the #1 autograph rate is 1 per .97 cases
Odds of hitting one of the above combined at the #2 autograph rate is 1 per .69 cases

A6 - Mayim Bialik
1. (200 Cards)---1 per 2.91 cases
2. (250 Cards)---1 per 2.33 cases

Odds of hitting one of the above combined at the #1 autograph rate is 1 per .68 cases
Odds of hitting one of the above combined at the #2 autograph rate is 1 per .53 cases

A7 - Melissa Rauch
1. (200 Cards)---1 per 2.91 cases
2. (250 Cards)---1 per 2.33 cases

Odds of hitting one of the above combined at the #1 autograph rate is 1 per .58 cases
Odds of hitting one of the above combined at the #2 autograph rate is 1 per .43 cases

So you should hit 2 wardrobe autograph cards per case

A8 - Aarti Man
(300 Cards)---1 per 1.94 cases


A9 - Kevin Sussman
(300 Cards)---1 per 1.94 cases


A10 - John Ross Bowie
(400 Cards)--- 1 per 1.46 cases

These were my calculations from earlier if you havent read through the entire post

[Brobocop]

I still think them stating in a obscure Facebook post that the auto relics are one per case is a CYA move. Until I see breaks or someone from Cryptozoic comes out and states this, I think people will see more than one of these per case.

[Incarnadine]

Looking back at the full case breaks for seasons 1/2 at the NSU board main cast autos (A1-A5) came in at just shy of 2 per case

1- A2, A3
2- A1, A4
3- A1, A2, A4
4- A3
5- A1, A2
6- A1, A2
7- A2, A3
8- A4
9- A1, A2, A3
10- A4
11- A2, A5
12 and 13 combined- A1, A2, A4(X2)
14- A1, A3
15- A1, A3
16- A3

So 16 cases and 30 main cast autos.

Cryptozoic raised the number of boxes from 6000 to 7000 for this release, but they increased main cast autos from 5 to 7. Unless the signers are literally signing half as many autos this time it should be more than 1 per case.

Cryptozoic is probably covering their butts by just guaranteeing 1 per case, while the reality might well be 1.5-2 per case. At least the list of non main cast members is bigger and better this time around, I'll definitely be hunting down a Danica McKellar.

From another forum posted by the manufacturer:

Hi all,
Auto/Wardrobe is an average of 1:288. A few cases will see a second card, but not very many in the grand scheme of the print run.

I was hoping for more than a few cases with more than one. This is going to be one expensive set to collect. But at least it should hold value.

This is from the same person who gave the information about the wardrobe cards having a high likelihood of two per box.

[Yellow601]

Yeah post was from Miranda, just saw it.
This is going to be a tricky and expensive set to put together.
Even if someone opens 7 cases (I'm so jealous of that person!) the chances you would get all 7 main cast would be next to impossible.
Since there's 20 autos, take of the 7 main cast, is 13 autos, hope they are distributed evenly between cases so we get no doubles in a case of the lesser autos. Only time will tell I guess. Bit disappointed that it's only 1 main cast per case, no offence to Raj and Howard but wouldn't want to be the one pulling them as we all know they are going to be the lesser of the 7.

Besides my case I have 5 seperate boxes coming from 2 different sources, so fingers crossed they are the boxes with the big hits in them! Good luck to everyone with their breaks next week.

[zepzoso]

7000 boxes / 12 boxes per case = 583.333 cases

7 autograph/wardrobe cards = an average of 83.3 cards per person

[KarlM]

I think I will sell my case now, looks like it will be harder that I expected to complete this set

[Brobocop]

I'm still excited for this release, even though it's only one per case of the big seven. The relics last year were really strong and still hold value today. The autographs out of the big seven are also full of good names, either important side characters, or some cool guest stars. I think this will still be a hit.
