Thanks for the additions. For years, there seemed to be just those four sheets though I think Todd or someone else noted another one somewhere. I thought maybe Skybox didn't distribute all the numbers as 6-card sheets for some reason, but based on your list, maybe they did.

I looked at auctions ended on ebay. There was a full album with 4 uncut sheets. There were pictures of only 2 of them. I didn't have one of them. The sheet had August, Thermidor and 4 other cards on them.

Someone has on ebay now a signed Sandman S1 promo, with Gaiman's signature on it.
Numbered 8/250
Not sure if that one has been reported.
Asking price $ 200.

I heard that there is a DC Sandman movie/T.V series being produced. If it's true, these cards are going to skyrocket in value.This message has been edited. Last edited by: promoking,

I didn't see tnat one. I do see some interesting recent sales. A "Delirium" silver foil prototype sold for something south of $125 (so maybe $100 even) but the one that hurts is a "Destiny" prototype went for just $11.95. I wish I had seen that.
Two prototypes hardly ever offered, the "Destruction" and "Death" cards, sold as a pair for $92.88 with 11 bids on March 24. Here's the link to that. Check it out in the next couple of weeks because the auction will expire in a couple of weeks.

I see what appears to be one of the S1 promos signed and numbered of 250. The seller shows a COA but it says the card is one of 200 signed by Gaiman though you can clearly see it is hand-numbered out of 250. It also appears to lack the Skybox embossed stamp. It might be the real thing but it has a couple of red flags.

Not sure why it is so hard to find. I have never seen one on ebay, and it took me years to locate one !
I got one of these unframed. I am not sure if they were framed at first though.
I did get a special framed one that was limited to /25. It has matching numbers for the /4444 promo sheet, /250 S1 signed by Neil Gaiman with an embossed Skybox stamp, one silver Despair promo and a plaque saying "In Appreciation of a Great 1993 and anticipation of a 'Super' 1994! Skybox International 16/25".
My notes say this is a framed set from the Philadelphia Comicfest 1993, but it doesn't say anywhere on the front or back, so I probably copied it from the auction I won.
I also have a S1 autographed by Neil Gaiman with a Skybox emboss and numbered /250 promo. Same kind as in the frame.
These stuff are pretty cool and sometimes I find out about them on ebay years after the set came out. Right now, I am looking for any of those 6 card uncut sheets that I am missing.
Thanks, David

Death and Destruction always seems to be popular. Just look at all a lot of the popular TV show and films.

Destruction was a pain to find back in the day.

I see several of the silver foil prototypes have sold in the past few months:
I Dream...$85 3-7-25 II Destiny...$26.52 12-23-24 4 bids III Desire...$85 3-7-25 IV Despair...$19.50 12-23-24 6 bids V Delirium...$97.25 2-21-25 1 bid VI Destruction...$75 2-6-25 $26.52 12-23-24 7 bids VII Death...$195 1-31-25
There was also a sale of one of the common promos along with silver foil prototypes II and VII - Best offer accepted down from $220. I'm assuming the price was $180-200.
There were some great deals in December and those were with actual auctions. I didn't see those auctions (like many others, busy with Christmas and work) while they were going or I would've put in a bid for one or two of those.

There was a cluster of sales of silver foil prototypes earlier this year:
I Dream...sold as a Best Offer for less than $80 on 1-24-26 III Desire...sold for $80 1-24-26 IV Despair...sold as a Best Offer for less than $80 1-24-26 V Delirium...sold for $80 1-24-26; another one sold for $49 on 4-5-26
It looks like one buyer went nuts that day but maybe got a group deal for the four that sold on Jan 24.

A set of the prototypes sold as a Best Offer for something less than $776 (so maybe $700 even?) on June 9. That's a lot.
