I don't know how many of you are tracking the prices of sketch cards, but I am certainly amazed at the prices these cards are pulling in. I've seen a number of what I would consider average sketches break the $100 barrier and a few other, which I would consider just above average go for several hundred dollars. The naysayers can bash away all they want, but this set is turning out to be the biggest set of the year. When people are still paying huge sums of money for cases of this product that says it all. | |||

I sure hope so Wolfie  I was quite happy when I started to slide the top corner rather slowly and saw the detail in the hair. I instantly guessed that it had to be either a Cat or Pence. After going back and looking at Cat's page on the website, I belive that this is her best black and white Leia. We shall soon see what the collecting public think of it in terms of value.This message has been edited. Last edited by: igman7, ____________________ Feeling happy? Then rip open a box.

IMO it's the Star Wars name thats at the root of the inflated prices..There are a LOT more Star Wars fans out there than say Wizard of Oz for which I have been picking up lovely full colour sketches from the likes of Jeff Chandler,Ray Dillon,Renae DeLiz etc.at around $20-$30 that you could put another "0" on the end of the price if they were Star Wars or LOTR. | |||

Yeah, but even so, this set is definetly pretty amazing and unique. Cases could be pre ordered for around what...$425? $450? now they are about the break the $800 mark and in just a little over a month. | |||

That was something a lot of people knew beforehand. When you saw the presells you knew this was going to be a massive set with a lot of interest. So it's normal that these cases increases that much. This just reminds me of what happened with "Complete Avengers" from Rittenhouse. | |||

I understand about the Star Wars name helping hype this product from the get go and about the number of pre-sells, however this product has received a number of bad reviews, at least on this board from people voicing displeasure with this product. My point is that these complaints haven't swayed many people from continuing to purchase this product and as has been noted for nearly double the original price. PS I got two cases (presell) with S&H for $816. | |||

Picked up a box from a show that I had pre-ordered. I haven't sorted the box yet, but I did manage to pull a gold foil #111 07/30 and this Jessica Hickman sketch. Thanks for setting this box aside for me Ed. Regards, Brandon  | |||

My first reaction would be Tom Hodges. ____________________ "The problem, I'm told, is more than medical." | |||
