Yes, I follow your logic, and certainly the principle is based upon you being able/being prepared to spend that much money!
Conversely, one wouldn't want to spend circa £35 on one box and be "unlikely" to pull a sketch. It's horses for courses really. Bit more money = better odds. And then pull a nice one and you've got yourself a bargain. Don't forget the Achilleos Ood (as if you could...  ).
Personally, I aint pulled a Henderson. So the odds don't always fall as they should. |

Actually, thats quite odd, if you look at the case breaks so far most people seem to have hit 2 of a artist in a case when there have been 4 sketches in the case.
Dalekfan: 2 x Aragon
Doctor Jas: 2 x Martineck / 2 x Henderson
Me: 2 x Henderson
Very odd.
Also no two boxes have had sketches in numerical order ie. Sketch miss a box or two sketch miss a box or two. That is why my last two boxes remain unopened.
The box I got the Ood from was not bought from Srtictly Ink, but from Collectorzone, I was damn lucky... it could have been a vogan Costume Card  . |

| I have had 2 odd boxes off separate dealers now. Neither had a sketch.. If anyone does pull one from a box bought from a dealer (as opposed to direct from Strictly Ink), please post on here. I (and I'm sure others) would love to hear of your good fortune! |

I wouldn't wish to name names on here. EMail if you wish. |

| The problem is with most cases only containing 3 sketch cards the odds are not in your favour for a single box purchase. You should count yourself VERY lucky if you pulled a sketch. I would agree that you probably need to buy 3 consecutively numbered boxes but in one of my cases there was a sketch, then the next 3 boxes had an auto and a clip, and my final sketch was in the next one. This was also happened in another 2 of my cases. Luck of the draw, in one of my cases 2 out of 3 boxes would have had sketches. The placement is very random. |

| I opened my case (which had 4 sketches luckily), and had 3 boxes left unopened at the end which I knew could not have sketches in them. |

Box 579 - Tovey redemption; F1,5,7,9; Movie Cell.
Whilst I'm a little unhappy with the foil-less foils and only three auto cards (and redemptions at that), I'm really taken with the movie cells! |

It's just a shame that Strictly Ink couldn't get 6-8 hand signed autos which would have made this set a little more exciting. It would have been great if it had been more like the Hammer Horror set with a few very limited autos as well as a few common autos as the sketch card ratio seems to be the same. In that set there were 8 autos to be found in boxes with 1 binder auto and 1 case topper auto. Hammer Horror may not have been everyone's cup of tea but I personally thought it had been one of Strictly Ink's best products.
I think Big Screen could have been better with more autos, 4 sketches per case, and maybe the film clips being numbered or having different styles to make them more collactable. Just my opinion anyway.

IMHO the clips cards have saved this release as they're an innovative idea (for Strictly Ink at least).
Numbering them would've been marvellous as you say, but SI have an aversion to numbering cards: their release quantities are then too easy to track!!!
Certainly not enough autos this time, and as said they're all equally common.
And for me, the sketch cards are too samey in subject matter, generally speaking. I mean, who drew the old ladies who double-crossed the heroes to the Daleks, or the outside of the mine, or the mine control room, or a good shot of the Dalek city, or the cool sequence with the mirrors being used by the Thals etc etc etc.... |

Box 0881 yielded the following :
- David Graham auto
- F1, F2, F4, F8
- Ingrid Hardy sketch - Dr Who and Tom
I'll upload a scan of the sketch card later, but if you look at the IH sketches on the SI website it's the one on the penultimate row on its own.
Very pleased with the sketch card, especially as I only bought 2 boxes, but I don't think I'll be opening box 0882!

Well done on the sketch. Your comment on the other box sums up the sketch distribution issues with this release perfectly. There's gonna be a lot of redundant boxes floating around.  |

Box 1014, my box opened for Christmas, produced a Dalek sketch by Mark Spears! I'm delighted with it: at least 3 of his 6 sketch cards were already out there, so my chances of gettting one (and a Dalek too  ) must've been fairly remote.
There are 2 Spears currently on the Bay, one at GBP 149 and one at GBP 199, so I am well pleased, as this one cost me the price of a box (less than GBP 30).
It is now up on my Collectors Page (Artwork) if you would like to see it.

Here's a recent acquisition as I go down this new collecting trail. If you want me to post any more, please let me know:
