Being Rittenhouse Archives spilled the beans also, though I would show my card that is on the site. I am working on the Complete Avengers Card set coming out this October. Along with great artists like Cat Staggs, Grant Gould, Jim Kyle, Jeff Chandler and many others thought at being I haven't seen a topic for this made yet that you guys would like to check it out.

Well I knocked 4 cases of Lost revelations on the head yesterday so maybe I can convince my brother to put the cashflow towards these cases instead.  |

Oh no! It's not out til Oct and I'm already getting excited. But it's clashing with LOTR Masterpieces (I think Avengers will get more of my money), and Chamber of Secrets (well ... forget that! I'm in Potter overload at the mo and what with MM coming out as well, it's too much for me).... Avengers is the serious set for me  Rich, I think that would be a great use of the cash you have released from buying LOST  . I love the show, but I think for cards you'll have more fun opening this set ... and think of the 6 case incentive. I hope Tialessa or Joanna, or some of the other sketch-loving lasses come in here to support me soon, I feel that Marvel might be a bit boyish... it feels lonely in this camp at the mo  |

Well Roz I am having a real debate with myself at the moment I have got 7 cases of masterpieces on order with the premise if it isnt as good as Evo I will sell the majority of the boxes. With the avengers I will defo be going for 6 cases but will probably sell 4 cases worth just to get the 3 cat staggs and the stan lee. I hadnt even thought of COS but I will find some room for that I am sure but probably only 3 cases. I will take another 5 weeks and Memorabilia to be clear of my GOFU stuff. THen there will be Star wars Evo Update in the mean time. All I can say is SOUND !!!!!!!! |

I won't have too much cash to burn because there's also Lost: Revelations... I'm going to be hurting! Based on the fact that there are samples posted on RA's site and I like most of them, I'm leaning more towards Avengers right now.... Honestly, if it was a DC comics set I'd be hyperventilating... I want Legion of Super-Heroes sketches! |

Once I heard the auto design was different in Revelations, I'm skipping it - praying for a Sun auto in the Seasons set - 2, 3, whichever  I may get burned, but I needed to make a decision based on the information at hand, and Season 2 wins. I'm also looking at Supernatural when that gets released, although, honestly, I'm not too excited about LOTR Masterpieces. I'm still having much to much fun with Evolution sketches- to try to do both Evo and Masterpieces would just about destroy what little brain power I have left Avengers, on the other hand, brings me to an interesting dilemma - how bad is it going to look when I outbid my friends for sketches from Rittenhouse? It's never happened before and I hope that noone takes it personally *lol* I just want them ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will have a special scan later of a sketch card my son had done at Heroes Con by the inestimable Mark Texiera - he even dedicated the sketch to Alexander personally (something about being afraid Mommy would keep it, or some such nonsense!) |

I'm afraid Harry Potter is going to fit in the "can live without" pile - but I don't have any rare cards or variants... I'm hoping for more samples to be posted even though what's out there right now is HIGHLY tempting! |

Someone actually sent an email to Rittenhouse asking us to NOT release products in the SAME MONTH as other companies (Inkworks and Artbox's products mentioned here were specified) - I was so floored I wasn't sure how to answer that and said that I was sorry that release dates seem to coincide, but that we list our release dates as early as possible so that collectors can plan accordingly?
I wanna know if Artbox and Inkworks got the same email *lol*

I dont think it is a bad thing all these sets coming out the same month at the end of the day they are different companies and different subjects. I know we on here are all trading card mad but I dont see the majority of collectors trying for all the sets. Just a special few. I am having to compromise on how many cases I will open and how many I will sell. Then again by october I should have my own website in place which should help make things easier.
Keep em coming cus if they are all quality that should be great.

You know, just because 3 big sets come out at the same time, doesn't mean you have to buy them all at the same time.
They will all be around for awhile afterwards and I would think the dealers would be thankful to sell stuff when new sets aren't coming out.
Am I looking at this too logically or just being very silly?

I actually think you are being logical Warren. And it makes perfect sense. |

The only problem with the theory is that it requires unlimited funds to buy enough of all 3 big sets at once and then be able to wait around for when they might sell. Also many of the manufacturers produce enough to fill pre-orders, not much more. So if you don't buy a product when it first comes out it might not get made at all. It is rather silly to whine to a manufacturer about it though.  Ed |

Of course Mr M, that makes perfect sense if you are buying individual cards, but the best time to buy boxes or cases really is to pre-order, so really if you are a pack junkie like myself it's all or nothing |

Howdy Just been reading the NSU board and people are saying that this product is a US exclusive  . Has anyone else heard anything, this would fit into the situation where my distributor hasnt given me prices for this set. |

I know Bogleg had ordered a box direct from Rittenhouse but he has now seen it is US and Canada only. He did receive an order confirmation so he is now waiting to see if he is likely to get one - I will let you know.

Rittenhouse Archives is limited in our distribution of the product to the US and Canada. This doesn't mean that the product won't cross borders, simply that we can't sell it directly into international markets. But, just like the CSI cards end up over here en masse(and they are a UK only release), I can easily see the Avengers cards in the UK market.
