Very well done to all at Rittenhouse

I think you saw so few comic artists, becouse comic artists charge a lot usually for page rate. so , they probably wanted to much money to do full color somewhat to completely finished sketchs.

Joe Rubinstein does great work. I pulled a beautiful Rubinstein Black Widow sketch and am so pleased with it!

Thanks to all that have emailed me about the sketches I pulled but I'm afraid they're all keepers (eleven so far

). I am going to try and make a set not only of every artist, but of every character as well.

I finally got around to scanning the sketch from the last box to arrive. Since my scanner is on the fritz again I'm reduced to using the internet cafe downtown. Now, if those last 14 boxes I have coming would just arrive already...

The days of cheap boxes are gone. I got one a few weeks back for $59.10 (the one that had the Ratton sketch above actually) but a week and a half ago I paid $69 each for 2 more boxes and close to $800 for a case (both should arrive any day now

), quite a jump from the roughly $650 per case I paid before release but still worth it in my opinion. There's not much on Ebay right now and the cheapest box is at $71 with 4 days to go.

I've paid my 2 boxes: 69$ and 84$. One from a dealer and another one from Ebay. Ofcourse without shipping.

But if I find some others boxes I will try to buy them.

Peter cloet

received my boxes today.
Will post breakdowns later.

I will scan the sketches and hopefully I can post them because their is one I don't know who signed it.

I've already discovered the Brian Kong.

Brian Kong has some really cool cards!!

And I'm sure we can help you with the artist of the other card.

January 16, 2007, 02:57 PM

Peter cloet

Ok Guys,

Here are my breakdowns and I'm really getting crazy because I've discovered 10 minutes ago who that other artist is.

I've received 2 boxes: #5285 & #7197
Total breakdown:
*4 full base sets + extras (3 full + extras are for trade, just email me for my trade and want list)
*Greatest Enemies Cards: GE1 (2x), GE2, GE4, GE5, GE7, GE8, GE9 (GE1 is for trade)
*Earth Mightiest Heroes: MH2, MH11, MH12, MH17
*Legendary Heroes: LH1, LH7

And the Sketches:
I've didn't had the chance to scan my sketches because my friend his scanner isn't plugged in so once everything is in order I will post them and ask for which character are feautured.
The 2 artists are:
*Brian Kong
*Ian Dorian

only 77 exist
