Thanks Hammer & Collectress.

Roswell is not a set I collected, never saw the TV show either. It was just a card that caught my eye as being both unusual and attractive.


This is card 02 BTW.

Well, I have a sneaking suspicion that you were right all along. The biggest datum against Hughes is that Keith's website is supposed to have all of his submitted sketches posted.

Kayanan, Sohn, and Staggs all sketched variations of this theme, but Hughes is the only one who showed Vader in extreme right profile.

But I swear your sketch looks like it's a variation on the sketch Keith numbered darthvader02, somewhere between that one and darthvader10. It matches darthvader02 in angle, face details, and the heart-shaped and other reflections. And everybody else who pictured Vader in the battle scene with the lighted patches behind made the edges sharper while Hughes was more impressionistic.

Of course artists have been known to embrace different styles, and the reflections could have come from a screen shot that somebody else tried to match. But my gut says this might be a Hughes "rough" sketch that snuck into the package, and that's why it isn't signed. Maybe we could ask him. Wink

Adam has been asked about this card and it's NOT one of his. Allison Sohn has been asked (she scanned & packaged up all he did along with her own) and she also says it's not his.

It was a good theory, though. The light reflections that match Adam's must mean the other artist worked from the same still or film frame.

I can't see any good matches in media and style, but the fact the sketch isn't signed could mean it was intended as a rough, and there might not be a match with the medium used for cards that were "final." It could even be a sample from an artist who didn't end up in the final list, and Topps was temporarily confused. That would make it a jen-yew-wine 1/1. Big Grin

Any idea who the character is?
Reaper after a battle has been suggested. Anyone know for sure? The artist is Ray Dillon.

Star Wars Episode I, Wide Vision.
I have a couple oversized chrome Star Wars cards that are numbered 3 of 5 and 4 of 5. I think they are promos but am not sure. They are bigger than the regular WideVision cards and measure about 7" x 3.5". I looked for them in NSU but could not find them listed. Any one know what or where these are listed?
Thanks, Ace

They are not promos. I think they came in the tins, packed one per tin with some packs.

At first I thought they were the oversized cards from the earlier widevision sets, but those were series of 6. Looks like everybody was correct; Star Wars 1 The Phantom Menace had one of theses per factory tin, together with seven unopened packs. The options included:

1 of 5 Anakin Skywalker
2 of 5 Darth Maul
3 of 5 Obi-Wan Kenobi
4 of 5 Queen Amidala
5 of 5 Qui-Gon

The widevision size S1 Wood Card is the send-away card. The same card was also available signed by Zina Saunders at a rate of 1 per case and limited to 500.

woops I really messed up the spelling on his name its Kevin Siembieda. From 1981 till about 1985, he was a professional, freelance artist. One of his jobs was doing art for bubble gum card packs. As he recalls, this was for Topps.

hope this helps to narrow the field just abit.

Looks like a early 80's GI JOE sketch. I think they made Joe cards in the early 80's.

Hi, I have these Thunderbirds (movie) cards and I have no idea where they came from (toys? food?) or how many are in the set. I checked Jeff Allender's site but couldn't find them listed. The back of them have a line of Japanese writing, and the word Morinaga, so I'd say they're from Japan. The first two cards are movable images, the rest are kind of see-through in between the pictures. Anyway, scans are below - would love if someone had any info to offer. Thanks Smile
