Frequency of puzzles cards

I doubt it's the basis of a puzzle but we've been told silvers arrive one in every ten packs-however I'm not sure I trust that. Ollie bought at least 167 packs and only has four.

In any case, 320 packs for a full set of silvers? Ouch.

Don't forget, you can always spend �50 on ebay on a silver card if you fancy.

Nah, I'd rather the excitement of watching my "Jigsaw" duplicate pile grow and grow. Very Happy

Yes, by a factor of more than 10!

This certainly seems a good business model for a commercial ARG, given all the obsessive collectors out there. Well all right, myself included!

I am new to this posting malarkey! I was wondering, how are we going to know when the next phase of cards have been released? Will the original 266 cards still be produced and distributed? Will Firebox list them as Wave 2 packs?

I looked but could not see so I am sorry if this question has been posed elsewhere.

I double checked, what i bought, and have 16 packs, with 3 silvers to date, which is 1 in 5 1/3.

On ollie's and my experience then i reckon you should be prepared to pay between �13.50 and �17.50 (including P&P) to buy a silver on ebay. Any more than that and you are likely to do better buying new packs from firebox. Particularly given that you get an additional 31-41 cards that you can trade...
