Opened another box last night with the Headless Wonder, I was happy with this nice Ms. Marvel sketch. Headless also got a nice Invisible Woman/Storm sketch, but he is probably too lazy to post it!

USPS doesn't appear to realise Australia is south and has sent my case via UK. However, my archive box has arrived to alleviate some of my impatience. Being an archive box, it had the base and chase sets. The 25 sketch cards are as follows:

- Sobol (308) Dr Strange
- Allen (249) Invisible Woman
- Massafera (198) Gabriel
- Spears (250) Invisible Woman, maybe part of a panel?
- Castrillo (149) Franklin, part of a panel
- Smith (164) Black Bolt
- Ferrara (?) Franklin
- Antonio (302) Iron Fist
- Rubinstein (223) Watcher



- Brandao (201) Torch
- Kong (299) Gaard (Vangaard)
- Unsigned Simons (500) Mr Fantastic vs Iceman
- Price (245) Dr Doom
- Molinelli (251) Mole Man
- Postman (360) Medusa
- Ron Wilson (297) Karnak
- Adam Cleveland (350) Valeria
- Toma (250) Thing



- Sillas (204) Invisible Woman
- Stefano (298) Diablo
- St Aubin (202) Torch
- Dos Santos (185) Black Bolt
- Unisgned (maybe Magno) Galactus
- Wagner (292) Silver Surfer
- Marzan (209) Dragon Man

In the first group, Rubinstein looks like the Watcher.The Massafera is Gabriel, I believe he was a hearld of Galactus. I know he fought the Surfer in FF # 120's.

Your Ron Wilson is Karnak from the Inhumans.

Last two are Silver Surfer not Iceman and Dragon Man.

Impessive knowledge there, I will fix up the list. Thanks, Jen

Excellent collection of sketches, and all in one box, BUT...considering the cost of an archive box - of which Rittenhouse is more than aware of - I would have thought they could have slipped more than 4 sketches from the first half of the short number pile. There are 19 artists that done less than 149 sketches.

I think the Mr Fantastic vs Iceman is by Dave Simons.I have a couple that I know are by him and they both have the name of the subject written at the top of the card in the same style as yours.

Two boxes, very satisfying. Recolorization of some of the older art sure brought out the dynamism of the images. Boxes are 24 packs of 5 cards, 8000 numbered boxes, 12 boxes/case. Expect 1.57 base sets of 72 per box if collation were perfect.

BOX 4561

Base cards (72): 1 complete set, 43 doubles
Nemesis cards (9, 1: 8 packs): N2 N3 N7
Ready for Action cards (18, 1:12 packs) A4 A9
Legendary Heroes embossed foil cards (9, 1:24 packs): LH9
Color sketch cards (59 artists, 1:24 packs): Kristin Allen (Medusa)
Renowned artist sketch cards (25 artists, 1-9 sketches made): none

BOX 7560

Base cards (72): 1 complete set, 41 doubles
Nemesis cards (9, 1: 8 packs): N1 N5 N8
Ready for Action cards (18, 1:12 packs) A10 A12
Legendary Heroes embossed foil cards (9, 1:24 packs): LH8
Color sketch cards (59 artists, 1:24 packs): unsigned, but I think Edde Wagner (Invisible Woman)
Renowned artist sketch cards (25 artists, 1-9 sketches made): none
