All in all me and my son are very happy with our pulls Thumb Up

One of our cases only produced sketchs from 2 of the 8 box's!!! Frown We cut the box bottoms and mailed them to Topps in hopes that they will help us out. They did with evolutions but all the sketch cards were from artists that did 1,000 or more so we lost our chance of getting any full color cards.

Thanks to all the artists for all their hard work Thumb Up

I posted part way through your extensive catalogue! Some very nice sketches there. I hope Topps helps with the bad case. There's actually some great artwork by the high volume artists in this series so might be okay anyway.

I didn't check your range of artists but check out my site if you are missing some and looking to trade. I have another case coming as well (early next week?).

Aelfwine - That is seriously troubling that you received only 4 sketches from a case. Shake Head Topps really goofed on this one and hopefully they will offer you some good sketches in return for your misfortune. Best of luck. Peter

Well, my case finally arrived and I am thrilled with the results!!

I got 7 Sets of each of the Foil puzzle cards and the Silver foil cards.

I got 7 different Bronze Foil cards, 1 repeat.

I got 16 Sketch cards, the highlights of which are shown below, as you can imagine I nearly had a heart attack when I pulled the Staggs!





I also need some help to identify the artist of the top left sketch of gandalf?

The key word is (Good) sketches! When we had a few box's from evolution that had no sketch cards, (I think it was 3 box's), we called Topps and they said to send in the box bottoms so we did. When we got a package from them they only gave us one sketch per box! Also all the sketchs were from artists that did a large number of cards so their were no color or high end cards!

With the case that we only pulled 4 sketch cards from two box's and the other six box's had none! All 4 cards were low end sketchs. I just hope that Topps does not send us all low end cards as the whole reason behide getting sealed cases is having a chance to pull the rarer sketch cards! I hope that you can understand what I'm trying to say Confused
