A nice early Xmas present to yourself there

cverdecHey everyone. I got a case of these for Christmas from my wife
I will be posting the breakdowns and sketch scans soon, but I need to see if anyone has seen the 2nd half of this sketch card. I really want to try and track it down. It is a 2 card sketch by Watkins-Chow, and I pulled the Shelob half.

Yes they were delayed at Mount Pleasant customs in London for a few days until they told me what I had to pay

Not yet there are a few gaps in the rarer ones still

but a Russell Walks is on its way from Zach soon

Sorry but I think it was
this eBay auction which finished before Christmas - unless Watkins-Chow did multiples of this scene as some artists did

...and a beautiful one at that...and a great price...as there are only 21 of those Walks cards out there, that means there can be only 21 collectors out there that can possibly complete the one-sketch-card-per-artist collection...not counting Kayanan of course as his 6 are special inserts and are not done on the official Topps LOTRM sketch card...
...there are a few 50 sketch card artists that are tough to come by including Hodgkins, Chung and McCrae...and I think Renae DeLiz was only able to finish around 80 or so...
...so with Walks under your belt...the rest is all downhill!
Have a great New Year everyone...
one more thing...I'm trying to track down the right half of a Dillon...of Frodo collapsing before the great eye...
If anyone spots this anywhere, I'd appreciate a PM...thanks!

dis68Oh well another 2 boxes came my way with these results :
I think the first is a David Rabbitte ( at least I hope so as he was one of the artists I was still missing )
Anyway the ones I still have to find/get to make up a set of the artists are a McCrea, a Zapata, a Zsolnai, a Watkins-Chow, a Sohn, a Babbitt and a Molinelli ( sorry RAM )
Oh and Len you should have email about that Dillon sketch

Thankfully as the Kayanan Legolas ( bottom left corner of the 6 cards ) is a live BIN on a certain site at GBP2499.95 ( XE.com says thats US$4,924.47 )
