Hey congratulations Zach!
Your love and dedication to all things LOTR and your appreciation for all the artists and what they really put into these cards...has been paid back in Kayanan-Karma! You deserve it!

...my iMac OS9.2 has had MAJOR problems logging onto this site for the past month or so...the screen would blink about a hundred times while loading each and every page...was so time consuming I just couldn't get to reading everything and still get to my job! But with some time off this Thanksgiving weekend, I figured I should read every page of this thread and see everyone's great pulls! Also, I wanted to see if any of my sketch cards were pulled and NOT sold on Ebay as I'm trying to track down where they've all 'migrated' to around the globe.

Thanks for all the kind words...
1. DragonCrypt...can't believe you pulled that spooky Green Marsh Ghost card on Halloween...so many of my cards have wound up in Canada...to both stores and to awesome collectors via Ebay...glad you love it!
2. Venom5liter...I remember you posted that color Balrog on Scoundrel...I'm glad it's part of your collection.
3. TripleFrog...I love that card...it's really not Faramir...it's the guard that took the first arrow in that attack...an honorable death just before the moment that ragged Uruk-Hai arrow pierces his vest armor. Glad it's yours!
4. Allender-I wondered while I drew single individual hair what the reaction would be to pulling that hairy Warhog...certainly not as beautiful as an Arwen, Eowyn or Galadriel...but for a creature of demonic power, he's a brillant creation by Tolkien and Weta! Keep him well groomed!
5. Tangent...Jen...glad you pulled that Kayanan and congratulations! FYI...I did 9 cards related to the Frodo/Gollum struggle on the cliff over the lava flows of Mount Doom...4 in color with the hands of Frodo and Gollum UP in the air...and one black and white...and 3 in color with their hands LOWERED...and one in black and white...and each are numbered by a series of small dots under the L part of the LB diamond sig...again, congrats on the Kayanan!!!

...if I've left anyone out, please PM me about the whereabouts of any of my sketch cards...hope you all get to pull the cards of your dreams!...and even though all 6 Kayanans have been pulled...Russell Walks cards are almost as rare! Eek

Thanks Len for the info and congrats. If you are trying to track individually these 9, i just checked mine. It has hands lowered and 2 dots. Scan is here on my site if that helps. I was very happy to get it, I love your sketches.

Thanks Jen...wow what a great batch of cards you have...and I noticed that a lot of those cards I LOST ON EBAY as the second highest bidder...and now I know who beat me out! drats!

I'm glad they went to a great collection like yours. Where's the Kayanan headed? Confused

Unfortunately, I am going to sell it as I have bought, rather than pulled, a large number of my sketch collection (and those second highest bidders are really costing me Wink).

I'm glad you like my collection. I appreciate the artistic skill involved in the portrait sketches and have some I really like. However, I prefer scenes or at least full character with equipment, as they are more about the movie and the portraits are more about the particular actor (to me anyway). As the scene sketches are far less common, I find there's always a lot of competition so the collection has taken a while to build.

Just to confirm I saw both the Kayanan's I mentioned in my previous post at Memorabilia this weekend. Very nice they are too. Even more impressive first hand than on a computer monitor. I even got to hold one of them. Unfortunately I didn't have my running shoes on, otherwise it would have been mine. Wink

Picked up a box at Memorabilia on Saturday and here's what I got:

1 base set
1 full set of Foil Art cards
1 full set of Etched Foil cards
1 Bronze Foil Parallel (#3 Gandalf)
2 Sketch cards - both were Level I (1:59) - a Christian Dalla Vecchia (Aragorn) & a Davide Fabbri (a Rohirrim)

Was hoping for a Colleen Doran sketch but I'm quite pleased with that lot.

I just wanted to update that I received my unsigned DeLiz back (signed) and she told me that she was not pleased with the way my Arwen came out so she also included a little early Christmas gift! I can only tell you that the custom Arwen is even more fantastic in person than the scan reveals!!

A huge thanks again!

I purchased some more boxes and these two are the best sketches I pulled:





Any chance anyone knows where I can find the other half of the Graham sketch?
