But would you want that card?
Do you mean that one artist used the sketch cards as a try-out to improve his hand an feet drawing skills?

Well, didn't expect any cases today, but I forgot I had ordered 2 cases from a totally different seller on ebay, and they arrived today!!!! Here are the highlights of the 2 cases (short of 2 boxes that haven't been cracked yet, my wife had to get a break from the 2 monsters, so when she gets back we will finish ) Overall its not too bad, the 1st case was definetly a lot worse, but there are some good looking sketches in there.

Got my first box today and was pleased with what I found:
2 complete base sets 1-90
1 set Foil Art Cards 1 thru 9
1 set Etched Foil Puzzle 1 thru 6
1 Bronze Parrallel card 2 of 9 (Legolas)
2 Sketch cards 1 Howard Shum No. 282 stylized Legolas Level I 1 Joanne Ellen Mutch Aragorn(very nice)Level B
The foils are very nicely done, and the base set is my favorite of all the LOTR sets. Have another box coming later in the week.

I opened my 2 cases today. No eureka cards, but I am happy. I didn't get any of the gold foil or other special inserts but I did consistently pull 2 sketches per box so wasn't disappointed like many others.
The base cards are nice but I really like the foils (both types). I will post scans of the sketches on my website sometime tomorrow (it's about 2 am here now, though I might yet do it tonight) but here's the list.
Katie Cook - Treebeard Christian Dalla Vecchia x3 - Lurtz, Balrog, Legolas Michael Duron - Galadriel Darla Ecklund x2 - Nazgul, Ring Davide Fabbri x4 - Sauron, Frodo, Gandalf, Soldier Roberto Flores x2 - Gandalf, Nazgul Matthew Goodmanson - Aragorn Grant Gould x3 - Uruk Hai (all 3) Jess Hickman - Nazgul Lee Kohse - Frodo Leah Mangue - Treebeard Jake Myler - Arwen Sean Pence - Frodo Connie Persampieri - Frodo Jason Keith Phillips - Orc Howard Shum x2 - Legolas (both, but different) Robert Teranishi x3 - Orc (x2), King of Dead? Ryan Waterhouse - Lurtz
Overall, a good spread of artists. One case had 3 Level D and the other case had the 3 Level C and the remaining 3 Level D so there was a bit of unevenness. No A or B at all and the Myler is the only full colour (though a couple have light colouring). Also, collation was rough on the bronze foils. I got 1 per box but managed only 6 different from the 16 boxes - oh well, I am sure I will be able to trade to fix that.

My husband and I each opened a box at the same time so my results are skewed but I do know that neither of would have completed the etched foil puzzle or foil art card set from our individual box. Combined we did ok!
4 base sets plus extras
2 sets - Etched-Foil Puzzle Cards
2 sets - Foil Art Cards
2 Bronze Parallel Foil Art Cards
4 Artist Sketch Cards

Picked up a case last week and I'm pretty happy with my pulls. I really enjoyed this set and it had tons of inserts. I didn't get any refractors, golds, or Kayanan original art but I wasn't expecting to.
Box 6 Etch Foil - 1 Set Foil - 1,2,3,5x2,6,7,8,9 Bronze Foil - 2 Sketch Cards Robert Teranishi (H) - Orc Grant Gould (H) - Orc
Box 7 Etch Foil - 1 Set Foil - 1 Set Bronze Foil - 2 Sketch Cards Howard Shum (I) - Steward Grant Gould (H) - Orc
Box 8 Etch Foil - 1 Set Foil - 1 Set Bronze Foil - 1 Sketch Cards Sean Pence (C) - Sauron Lee Kohse (D) - Dark Rider Mount
I think I got lucky with all the B's and C's that I pulled from the case considering some of the other case breaks I've seen. My favourite sketch is the Bellinger. It is sooooo creepy! This message has been edited. Last edited by: Dragoncrypt,

Scans are now up on my website. I won't post them here as I have never worked out how to do so of appropriate size. Some of them are intermingled with my Evolution scans in the LOTR Gallery (Dalla Vecchia Lurtz, Ecklund Nazgul, Fabbri Sauron, Flores Gandalf, Phillips Orc, Teranishi Orc). The rest are up for trade so are at that part of my site. This includes a couple of the nicer sketches, so you might want to check there first.

Well I just cracked 6 cases, and here are the highlights:
Sean Pence Eowyn...YES!!! 2 color Chandlers (and he only did 50 pack inserted colors....LUCKY!! Big Blue Eyed Gollum!!! Not to mention some other sweet stuff in these first nine:
I absolutely love the Keith Phillips Aragorn!!! And the Jessica Hickman is awesome as well!!! (as they all are )
And I love the Matthew Goodmanson Aragorn facing down Lurtz!!
Some more pretty sketches:
A couple puzzle cards that need to find the rest of the puzzle pieces
And lastly I need help with a few artists. I belive the gorgeous Aragorn/Arwen is Jim Kyle, but not positive, and the middle one without a sig, I need some help on him for sure
Anyways, unfortunetly I will not be able to keep all of these wonderful cards, so some will hit that evil websit, and some will get traded for my preciuos Arwen!!! I will admit my fingers hurt a little from all the packs. One thing though, out of the 8 cases I have opened now, not a single gold foil art card!!!!
And lastly I need help with a few artists. I belive the gorgeous Aragorn/Arwen is Jim Kyle, but not positive, and the middle one without a sig, I need some help on him for sure
* The first one looks indeed like a Jim Kyle one, even thought it's not his normal (a bit cartoonish/anime) style. * I put my money on Jess Hickman for the second one ?! * And the last one is definitive a Joanne Mutch card (She signes with jem06).
Absolutely correct!
