Strickly Ink - Avengers Series 2

I don't know if anyone else is collecting this set, but I opened my first box from this set (it might be my only box).  Strickly Ink staes there are 3 autos per box, but with no guarantees.  Here's what I pulled from my box.  I'm real pleased with the John Cleese, Ronnie Barker and Liz Fraser autos plus I got a costume redemption card too.

I know nothing about the Avengers, but a Cleese auto, wow!    Interesting how they number thier costume cards by hand.  Great pulls, Anna.

It must be cheaper than printing the numbers on the card like Artbox does.

Yeah, it's much cheaper and it's more flexible as well.  Rittenhouse used to hand number all their numbered cards.  Only recently have they started going witht he machine numbered cards.  I would imagine it all comes down to cost and time.  Smaller companies probably can be more cost efficient having someone hand number them.

Thanks everyone.   I was very pleased getting Ronnie Barker's auto (as well as Cleese's).  I'm a big comedy fan.

Barker was in SOOOOOOOOOOOO many great comedies. Although I haven't watched any of them for years and years and years I'd say my favourite was Porridge. Did you ever get that in the US Anna?

I don't think Barker did many movies and that's probably why Cleese is better known but I think Barker was funnier

I don't think so.   To be honest, I can't even remember where or when I saw Ronnie Barker in something, but I remember his face and I also remembered that he was funny.

It was about people in prison and how they got on... I'll PM you Anna
