This is the first in what Cryptozoic is calling their “Essentials” line, which means little if they can’t get any titles out the door on time. But look for a more basic set, a little more reasonable price, and some old school chasing to complete sets. The only “premium” cards are autos from Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb at 1:545 boxes, and randomly inserted printing plates. Here’s the details on this set:
72-Card Base Set - Featuring imagery pulled directly from the 12-issue run of Batman.
Five Chase Sets: Featuring the amazing duels, alternate covers, Jim Lee annotations, a double-sided puzzle of heroes and villains, and the stars of the series!
5 Cards Per Pack / 24 Packs Per Box / 12 Boxes Per Case
