^ How much is that in US dollars? It seems like a lot so if I were you and had that much to spend on cards I'd pick a better set. well haven't seen a case of 8 at that kind of price works out less then £20 a hobby box and it also includes all shipping and custom charges. Usually its around £40 per hobby box over here as they aren't released in stores we only get those crappy slam attax. Also wondered if The Shield relics were all one colour or did multi-colours exist? Is there anyway to find out which relics are plain only and which have multi colours? Well good luck with whatever you decide to do. As for the Shield having only black relics I think that is the case because I've watched those cards a lot since they came out and have only seen plain black swatches. Maybe later they will get more colorful ones. I don't think there is a way to find out if relics have a potential to have more than one color. I think you just have to watch online to see what is being sold. Knowing each wrestler's shirts also helps I suppose.

At the moment I am trying to assemble a conglomerate so we split the cost of the case. That's really helped as I was going to try and complete all the relics from 2014 as I have 4 or so at the moment. EDIT just scored another of the 2014 relics $4.79 shipped

I must be in the minority but I love the 2012 Heritage set. The hit ratios arent very good compared to other sets but I LOVE the old-school designs of the base cards. Not to crazy about the stickers, though.

I got Ziggler relic from it and a Zack Ryder one too as they were cheap and look good. Anyone know a good place to order hobby boxes? I might be using dacardworld as they charge $30 to ship

I bought a couple shirt relics and mat relics but otherwise the set was a total let down. I don't care for the retro look since I was not a big wrestling card fan growing up and even if I was I was born in 1990 so that look may even precede me by a decade or so.. I should note that I got my 2012 gold sparkle parallel card of Natalya. I just need decide where to put her: with Beth, Victoria, or on another page with open slots..

I won these four parallel cards in a lot for $3.04 shipped: I mainly wanted it for Vickie and Maryse so the other two were just bonuses I guess.

That is always nice.

I also thought the designs were overly simple, with huge blocks of solid color - ew. The font was nothing special. The set was really focused on legends, which I don't care for - I like the current roster more. Plus the set was more expensive than usual, which didn't make sense because the good hits were in retail boxes, NOT hobby boxes. Go figure!

out of the three I bid on recently I won the miz 2014 relics for $5.50 shipped which was another multi colour so am happy enough with that.
If anybody has shield relics from 2014 I would love to do a deal with them.
Does anybody collect the paras from 2014 as I really have no use for them?
Also what are people's views on plain relics? Do you just like to own a relic or like me do many of you prefer to get multi colours where possible?
I tend to keep the ones I get as actual hits if they are plain but if I am buying I go for multi colour unless they are super cheap.
I counted my "hit" collection in hand and I have 14 so far
My buddy in NC has to send me on the following
Renee Young auto Dolph Ziggler Summerslam 2013 mat relic Dolph Ziggler WM 28 mat relic Lethal Consequences TNA 2009 Dual auto 12/60 Mark Henry 2014 2 colour shirt Brodus Clay 2014 2 colour shirt The MIz 2014 2 poss 3 colour shirt
I also have my eye on
Darren young 2 colour 2014 shirt relic D Bry 2 colour 2013 shirt relic Ryback 2014 3 colour relic
