Aesthetics - A
Base set - B
The base set is nice. It also does a pretty good job of representing each season of the show (at least from what I remember…it’s been a while since I’ve seen it). There are some problems with the images chosen being to dark, but nearly all of the cards have clear images (in focus). I always loved Hercules and Xena because of their campiness. Here are scans of some of the base:










Inserts - A
Three really decent insert sets. The Mythical Beasts set features some of the baddies Hercules fights through the series. The Heaven Bodies set is dedicated to the many fine honeys that make an appearance on the show, and the Hercules HoloFEX set is a refractor foil type insert set featuring different images of Hercules. All three inserts set look great although I’d prefer them all to be vertically arranged. The box topper features Xena preview cards. Here are a few scans of the inserts:

Autographs - A

I like the design of the autos. Nice vertically arranged cards with sharp signutures, and it doesn’t hurt that I pulled Tawny Kitaen and Alexandra Tydings.





Value - A

Base set - $5
Inserts - $10 for the Heavenly Bodies and $10 for the Mythical Beasts for $20
Autographs - $35

Total - $50 >$43 for an A

Fun Factor - A
Really had a blast with this box. Loads of inserts and 3 autos a box with a decent base set make it a solid break. Would recommend a box at the price just for the fun factor.

2012 Cryptozoic Fringe Seasons 1 & 2

2012 Cryptozoic Smallville Seasons 7 through 10 (good box)

I busted 3 cases of this when it came out and didn't pull one M20, but got one here.

2 boxes of The Walking Dead Season 2 got me these (pretty good break)

Nice break Wayne. Would love to bust some dead but not at 150 a box. 8(

Yeah...I picked mine up from CZE...they had a couple of presells just before the release...still expensive, but only $85 a box.

Case breaks have been great on this product from what I've seen though...you may not get $1500 worth of cards from a case, but you'll do better on it than pretty much any sports break (it appears breaks are coming out 12 autos...and I think every case break I've seen has had a Lincoln in it, and anywhere between 24 to 32 costume cards).

Ohhh Bernthal's signature has degraded quite a bit since becoming a star!
