Batman Archives (Rittenhouse 2008)
Well I am glad that I bought a case of this even though it seems to have been under the radar. The Retro and Dark Victory chase sets are a bit underwhelming and are easy to complete. The Lenticular set is identical to what was done for DC Legacy, they look great! I pulled the exact number of chase for the stated odds. I was a bit dissappointed that I wasn't able to complete the Lenticular set though. It is a 9 card set, I have 4 doubles and am 1 short of a complete set. The sketches look amazing, the only hard part is going to be figuring out who the artists are since they are mostly new artists. Now for the goods, enjoy:



Retro Set:




Dark Victory Set:




Lenticular Set (minus L6):

The sketches are beautiful! Thumb Up I'm not usually into sketches because some card releases that have sketches have some that are awful- like a 5 year old drew them. Roll Eyes
Enjoy them!! Dance

Nice set, I can't wait for mine to arrive. By the way, I will be doing a signature chart once I have sketches to scan. I will post the address once I fill it in.

Rittenhouse sketches are always first class. They appear to know what the collector wants hence they are also resisting going the way of stickers on autograph cards.

The sketches above are great and I'm sure the quality will be maintained throughout the release.

There was a lot of trepidation about the "unknown" artists in this set but it looks as though not only has the Rittenhouse high standard prevailed, there will be a whole bunch of new collectable favourites coming to the fore Thumb Up

I'm no sketch card expert, but I'm stunned that there isn't a below-average sketch amongst them!!! They're all exceptional IMHOClap
