Default Heroes is next WEEK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love sporsts cards, but i am totally excited for Heroes next week. i bet there will be a lot of interest from buyers over seas. i think i'm going to limit my sales to the US. i don't want to deal with all of the hassels that come with shipping outside of the US.

It's too bad though that there aren't new episodes of this being run on TV. I have a feeling that no new episodes since November and no new episodes on the horizon any time soon (due to strike) may kill some of the buzz and hype around the show and this product. I hope I'm wrong though.

Yeh I can't wait either ---
I got in really early at a very nice price from my longtime non-sports distributor (no disrespect towards Chris but I've dealt with this guy for 17 years )and I can't wait for this as well ...
Totally undecided right now what I'm gonna do with my 3 cases .... wondering if holding them for a couple weeks might be a good move ( IF I could keep my fingers out of them) but we'll see .... I've even debated about getting a few more cases from Chris but I think I'll wait to see how the breaks are or if Topps kept this limited or not ....

I think it'll be interesting to see what the autos go for ... this is kind of uncharted territory and the auto lineup is really stellar .... it's tough not to see Ali Larter included however it's one of the best lineups of autos I've seen with every auto being a major part of the show so there's really no scrubs in the auto lineup which does'nt happen that much .... alot of other non-sports auto lineups might have guest star autos but Topps has done a real good job getting pretty much all the major players ......

My guess on a 8 box case will be 5 sketches , 1 costume and 2 autograph cards and it'll be interesting to see if Topps SP's any of the autos ....

I also wish the show was currently running but from what I've seen/heard there are some real hardcore Heroes fans so I'm not to worried about that ...
I will sell to any country but I will not accept Paypal which I know will hurt but I'm not willing to take the risk ...... I'll offer credit cards direct so that might help but not throught Paypal ... and yes I think there will be ALOT of overseas buyers on this product ...
I think if this release does well that it'll bode well for Indiana Jones Heritage ...

From past experience TOPPS almost always short prints what would be considered the best autos in a non-sport set (think Carrie Fisher for every single Star Wars set she signned for, Kevin Spacey for Superman Returns, Samuel L. Jackson for Return of the Sith Widevision, etc.) so I'd bet my next paycheque Hayden's auto will be a tough pull, possibly the Milo and Masi too.

Has there been any announcements about how many autos/sketches/memorabilia cards per box? The closer this gets the more Im thinking of just flipping my case.
