Here's my two pack-pulled Season 4 sketches. Can anyone confirm the artists?
Which one should I keep and which one should I trade/sell on. They're both nice! [IMG:top][/IMG]This message has been edited. Last edited by: Ali_G,

The Dragon is Tim Shay, I believe the fireplace is Jason Saldajeno.
Incredible that you could pack pull two sketches, unless you broke mega product.
These are so hard to find I would probably keep both, but if I had to choose I would hold on to the Dragon. I just consider that to be more of an actual character than a piece of scenery. I wish GoT would allow true character sketches like most other titles, but not so far.

Raven: Thanks for the artist details. Yeah, I took apart six cases, so got the average right (1:3 cases).
I do like the dragon but the detail in the fireplace is brill. So hard to choose, but I do need to sell/trade one to try and get something back for spending so much on the cases...
I'm probably not going to bother with Season 5, though. Too much pointless "Parallel/Gold Parallel" duplication, it's getting dull.

Well then you're best bet is to try to figure out which one will fetch the most and a lot of the time that comes to artist first, followed by subject.
I think the detail on the fireplace is very good work and Saldejeno has a respected body of work. So it's a great sketch to have, but if I had to guess I would think the Shay Dragon would go for a higher price.
Tim Shay is very well known by sketch card collectors and is always a prominently advertised name on product lists. I believe more people would recognize him and the subject is a popular one. Who doesn't love a dragon?
So if you asked me which one would sell for the most I would pick the Shay, even though I think the scene may have taken more time to complete. Just MHO.
