Just double checked and there are not any puzzle sketches in this one. I will admit that one looks like it might have been part of a puzzle, but it's still pretty nice on it's own.



I just received my 2 two cards and Lucky me, I got it. It's actually 1 of a 3 card puzzle. It looks nice but would look better with the other two. I'm not familiar with any of the characters shown on it. I'm just happy that the money is going to a worthy cause as I'm not really a sketch card collector.


Do you have a scan? I went through them and didn't find any groups by the same artist. Plus, the one I was thinking of has already been shown by someone else.

Just curious. I was told that puzzles would all be contained in one chest, but it it wasn't obvious enough or marked I can see how they might miss some.

Chris,

Paul still has chests available, but how long they might last is unknown.

I was interested in getting a chest as well. But, on the site I found it didn't say anything about allowing (or not) overseas orders.

Btw Ed, if the cards aren't numbered #1-50, do you just pick them out at random?

Hi Star Mystyk,
Yes, the chests are available to overseas buyers. I just checked the order form to find, it has not been replaced with the current form which calls out the shipping charges for International. Please email me at cecexpo@gmail.com and i will be glad to send you the correct form.
Yes, there are a few chests left available. There will be a special announcement concerning the chests, hopefully in the next 4 or so weeks.
We have been waiting on artwork to come back to complete the project.
We are still offering time payments and Paypal payment as well.
So, if anyone is interested and wants to get in on this special offer, please email me directly.
100% of the net profits, less expenses benefit the Pediatric oncology Treasure Chest Foundation. Thanks again for all of your help.

PAULM - The back of the card says "The Endless puzzle 1/3" I don't have the card in front of me so I can't tell you the artist's name.

I think I said before, but don't mind saying what I do with these...

First, I shuffle the cards. Mostly because every chest I've seen has all the Star Wars cards at the 'top' of the pile.

Then I go through and put a post-it note on every toploader with a number from 1 to 50.

Then I make the list and pull the cards out of the stack as they are picked.

Then they are packed up in a team bag with a promo card, get sandwiched between 2 layers of cardboard and put in a bubble mailer for the trip to their new homes.

Yes, I peek to see what everyone got. Smile

And... The list has been updated with reservations to date.

Ed

Pendragon,
The card numbers you are looking for to complete the puzzle are 1411 and 1412. Both went to overseas collectors. If you wish me to pursue, I will send an email.
Yes, you are right, the cards look great as a stand alone, and never noticed they made the puzzle.
Sorry about that, I try and be as careful as I can when collating.
Thanks Paul
January 12, 2011, 07:14 PM

BTW- the artist of these cards is Nester Celario Jr.

Hello all! I am getting ready to do some traveling eastbound in search of new Ohio properties. I should be able to make the Ohio announcement in the next week or so, so keep an eye peeled!
Have a great weekend!
