Lord of the Rings Masterpieces (Topps)

Love that Otis Frampton. Very unusual - really nice. Its funny, I went for all the goodies when Evolution came out and the Baddies when Masterpieces came out. Really weird, it's just the way things panned out.

Jen - Love the Harad sketch by Frampton. Well done pulling that sketch. I am sure it will make a fine addition to your collection. The Sohn Nazgul on horseback is also sweet. Good job.

How about a post of the other sketches?
Cheers - Peter

I've bought three more boxes randomly from that auction site over the past several weeks.
The first of these boxes several weeks ago had a gorgeous Oatney sketch of Pippin in his Gondorian helmet, and a Pronovost Warg sketch. Very nice box. Dance

The second of these contained a Shum guy in a Gondorian helm screaming, and .........
A Vanderstaldt Aragorn pencil sketch Elephant Elephant

The third (and possibly last) box I opened on Easter, as I just couldn't wait for OTB day. I got a Rice Orc and............
A Vanderstaldt King of the Dead pencil sketch! Elephant Dance Elephant Dance

Someday, I'm gonna figure out this scanner/posting thingie and get some of these up.
Till then, I'll just feel warm and tingly inside.

Bob

WOW Eek That's a great haul Bob.

BTW, I don't know which part of the pic posting process fails for you but if you do actually have a scanner, you can send me the jpg files and i will post them for you here.

Okay, don't know why your post didn't show the pics. Here's another attempt. Note, these are Paradoc's cards not mine (and I am jealous Wink)

Well I just got 2 cases from a fellow collector needless to say I ripped them out of the Post guys hands and slammed the door and started ripping them open Smile Really great cases. And my dad cracked one of his last remaining cases over the weekend, and did really well as well. Smile Here are the best sheets from my 2 cases








And the case of my dad's (yes 2 great De Liz sketches!!!)

I have opened three eight-box cases and one extra box since these were released last year. I'd have posted sketch images long ago, but have avoided firing up my old Windows 98 computer with shot video card in order to use the scanner which my new computer will not recognize for lack of a Vista driver. (Thanks, Epson. Shake Head)

Here are my sketch cards from the second case I opened plus an extra single box I got off eBay. I believe this pre-ordered case was by far the best one of the three.

Jeff Chandler (Level B)
Steven Miller (B) Luv You my favorite
David Rabbitte (B)
Cat Staggs (C) 3! Dance
Walter Rice (C)
Allison Sohn (C) Drool nice color
Leah Mangue (G)
Katie Cook (H)
Sarah Wilkinson (G)
Davide Fabbri (I)
Christian Dalla Vecchia (I) 2
Howard Shum (I) 2

Extra Box:
Sarah Wilkinson (G)
Leah Mangue (G)

3 Cat sketches from one case Eek

While I got a nice full color Legolas Staggs from my case, I would have traded it in a heartbeat for those three.

Congrats!
