I'm drooling for that
Firebird sketch myself.
Has that character gained in popularity? When I was collecting she wasn't all that popular so I'm surprised to see so many sketches of her.

Triple-FrogJust won a sketch card on the bay auction number 260234316513 that the seller did not know the artist for.
Looking at previous box breaks on page one the same mystery artist was pulled by Mdelbene (Firebird), Tevans 333 (Mystique),and Kevin LePore (Jean Grey).
Anyone know who it is

The signature reads Ferrara so I'm going to guess it's him.

Jack LondonGot a box on ebay of this (pretty sure it was from a member of NSU, too) and it arrived today.
Very nice base set; really like the card stock, too. Was hoping for a Black Widow sketch (my favorite). Didn't get a Black Widow, but very happy with the cute sketch I did receive.
Here is what I got:
E2 Capt. America and Scarlet Witch
S1 Black Cat
S2 Black Widow

S3 Domino and Val Copper
S4 Elektra
T1 Black Cat
T2 Black Widow
And the sketch:
Fun sketch of Storm by Andy Price!

I like that one

Been trying to collect Snowbird and White Queen sketches, not much luck so far, only one White Queen. Snowbird (no matter who the artist) must be a popular one.

chesspiecefaceI got a box and a half and got these 2 sketches, pretty unusual characters I think, as I've not seen any others of these two ladies.
Obviously ths Simons is CRIMSOM COWL since he was nice enough to label it.
Does anyone happen to know who the character drawn by Cooney is? I think she's from the 70's or early 80's, and is maybe part of a team. Any ideas, merry Marvelites?

KADRAN00157Got six boxes of this at the weekend......
Where do I begin???????
Let's start with the base set......
A very cool base set with some very cool art on the cards, well impressed and I give it an A
The chase......
Swimsuit cards were well done and vey good.... the droplets were a unique touch wich worked for me and I managed to get a complete set, this set gets an A
Embossed set..... worked well and the choice of artists worked too, I made a set and this gets an A
The E cards...... Worked wonders and had an awesome feel about them and it works!!!!! This gets an A
The case cards.....
The Case Loader is an Adam Hughes Autograph card and is nice, giving it an A and yep I got one thanks too Millhouse

The Multicase card is a Warren Martineck Sketch card, from what I have seen of these, they look cool and he is an awesome artist, I will give it a B on the basis I don't have one
The Multi Multi case card, a 5 by 7 Painted Sketch by Alison Sohn, again from what I have seen, the artwork looks cool and she is an awesome artist, will give it a B on the basis I don't have one
Sketch Cards..... I was very hesitant at the sketches at first because I had gotten my companies mixed up

The six Sketches I got were very good quality and I liked them all..... For sketches I am giving this an A
On the whole as a product...... RA get an A for this set and a possible contender for card set of the year

activitydoctorHi all sketch traders,
I am collecting the Gabe Hernandez portrait sketch cards (ones where he has just drawn the face)from this set. If you have any for trade contact me. I have extra women of marvel sketches and DC legacy sketches I'm willing to exchange.
Thanks in advance, and happy pulling!

KADRAN00157I did all my base sets form the 6 boxes I got and managed to make 7 Base sets and was missing seven cards for an 8th set

Star*MystykI got another box today.
Inserts:
T7, T8
S13, S14, S15, S16
E9
I can't identify the character on the sketch card. It's by Lui Antonio, and in the upper right-hand corner it says The Mighty Avengers.
The character has long black hair, white eyes, wearing a dark blue sleeveless, skin tight bodysuit...swimsuit, perhaps. The artist has shaded parts of her left arm and chest in a silver, maybe to give the effect of metal.
I'll get an image up when a digital camera owner comes home

There's no link on the Rittenhouse website for this artist, though he did 199.
