What we pulled:
Base set -
These are glossy cards with great pictures of the King and tell the more important stages of his life. Those of us that are old enough to remember will never forget that second apperance on the Ed Sullivan Show. And how about the Come Back Special, made after he got out of the Amry and just finished up with his movies. He wanted to make it a personal experience and chose to do a small live show. We pulled 63 of 75 bases cards.
Inserts-
75th Birthday
Odds 1:1
We pulled 48 of them. We got 2 per pack, well above the odds. These cards don't scan well, but they are made on a flat background with a glossy
ELV 75
Birthday 2010
across the front of the cards. Very cool!!Birthday 2010
Under the Lights
Odds 1:6
Sweet looking chrome foil cards that highlight some of his concerts. We pulled 4 of them.
Elvis Pop-ups
Odds 1:8
Again these are chrome foil, but you can punch them out and fold the cards to "stand Elvis" anywhere in your house or office. I need to keep these away from my wife, lol. We pulled 3 of them
Diamond Base Parallel set #/75
No Odds
The only difference between this and the base cards are the numbering.
Autographs or Memorabilia -
Odds 1 per box
all auto's are either un-numbered, #/50 or #/25.
We pulled James Burton #/50.
Final thoughts -
This is an amazing set to have. It takes you through a timeline of the life of Elvis.I love the pictures and the infromation on the backs of the cards. I wish that there would have been a full set in the box, but that will give Elvis collectors just another reason to purchase more boxes and maybe hit that BIG Elvis cut auto!!
My favorite card? The entire base set. I love auto's, but the real reason to buy Milestones, is to get the set.
Here's how I would rate this product;
