Slightly annoying that these aren't being sold in the UK. Are the fabric cards actually pieces of fabric they used?

Seeing that the picks are not used and are just commemorative, I'd rather have a piece of their clothing.

Had an opened retail box of individual packs for sale at one Target near me. $2.99 for a pack of 8? On principle I purchased NONE. Gonna sound old here but I remember buying cigs for old folks in my neighborhood and getting to buy a pack of baseball cards as my service tip. In 1985 that meant 50 cents for a pack of 15 cards (no gum--I collected Fleer not Topps). $2.99 for a pack of 8 cards is just too crazy for me.
There are pretty good deals to be had on EBay for the regular 120 collector cards--may go for them at one point…not high on my priority list. I guess *THIS* is the limit of my BB Fandom

$2.99 is cheap. A pack of Topps baseball is $4.99 now and there is even a luxury basketball product that sells for $1000!
My wal-mart doesn't have them yet.

I didn't get any autographed cards in my set, but I did get a card with a snippet of Brian Wilson's shirt in it, as well as one with David's. Still haven't found any retail cards on sale around here... yet.
It appears pretty random which Targets get them. I've checked four in my area, and two had them. So it may not even be a regional thing.
I'm also perplexed on the guitar picks. They come one per box instead of two, and I've bought almost a box worth and didn't get one. This makes me think the clothes swatches are more common than the picks. But there are a lot of picks on Ebay, and going for less than swatches.
This makes me wonder if either the retail packs made it to market before the hobby packs, or if mabey more retail packs were produced than hobby packs.

Retail is usually produced more because it is being mass marketed. Hobby is just for one focused group of collectors.

I'm not sure with these cards.
I know with other memorabilia cards (or costume cards), they use swatches of the same fabric used to make a shirt or piece of clothing. They don't actually take a movie prop and cut it into multiple pieces. That's how it was for the Lord of The Rings movie cards. So instead of cutting up one of Al Jardine's shirts from this past tour, they get a roll of cloth of the same fabric used to make Al's shirt and put that into the cards.

Seems as tho the Hobby ones are being marketed fairly well, tho, and it seems that the articles I've seen on these cards reference the Hobby cards.
I was under the impression that the HObby and Retail cards would be separate sets, and not combinable to complete a 10 card set; does anyone here know whether this is true/not?

That would be a good thing, if true in this case, as i know I've mentioned previously that Als shirt are so small they wouldn't allow for many swatches...

The back of card reads that Panini guarantees the fabric is from clothing worn "in concert" by the band members.
But no mention of what tour or venues. Maybe by studying photos from the 50th one could match a photo to a Concert Gear card?
I got a BW but its jet black so that could be from a solid black shirt or any shirt with black on it.

Maybe they'll do a show wearing the clothes the swatches were taken from, and we'll be able to see all the spots that are missing cloth....

My BW swatch is yellow with a black patterned stripe on it. The DM one is blue, with a woven pattern in it. Both swatches look to be from C50 shirts, which makes me think it would be fairly easy to get remnants from the shirt manufacturer.

Someone probably needs to do some DNA testing on the swatches

Got my hobby box and cracked it open. Nothing earth shattering, looks like the typical haul. My concert gear was Brian and David (anyone help me out with an Al?). Got another etching (strange, I pulled three etchings out of slightly less than a box worth of retail packs, but only got one in a full hobby box), more of the cool record cards, and got my only "Artist Proof", which seem pretty shady, basically just numbered (out of 99) versions of normal cards; I actually didn't even realize until I went through the cards a second time that I had even pulled one. Still, great fun. I could open packs all day.

Has anybody encountered one of the David Marks autographed cards? I've managed to track down ones of Brian, Mike, Al, and Bruce. But so far, I haven't seen any of the David's surface.

If they are really "proofs" that means they were the first run, before production of the regular non-proof cards.
That's the way they do it with coins - the proofs are the first ones struck.
But these might only have the gold fold lettering/ number sequence.

Four-Hundred and Nine dollars - cute!!
No, I haven't seen a Dave Marks autograph yet. No doubt it will surface before long.
I guess Blondie wasn't included. Another Beach Boy set at naught.

But of course, the card has not sold at this price.

I suspect that when the auction is over, Brian's will sell for a lot more than $114.

yeah, I hear ya, and I don't know. Out for errands today, I stopped in the Target I originally visited. Sopmeone had bought all the thick packs I returned last week, so I bought two others. Nothing special in them, just cards. ( what a waste of $$)
was near another Target, so I stopped in, but they're not stocking them. Don't know who makes the decisions as to which stores stock what, but I figure it must be the
salesperson/stocker/driver. Target doesn't know anything about what is stocked. They couldn't even provide contact info for the company stocking the cards!!

Unreal. From a market-value angle, the card isn't even worth that, with the autograph. But again, the emotion of someone who doesn't have access being able to buy and own an autographed Brian Wilson trading card pretty much trumps any level of realistic value on items like this. But seriously, that's just a bit much for a "ready-made" collectible item versus, say, an autographed album. And the values assumed can be easily inflated in general beyond any realistic market value, just sayin'.
