I think its great that some of the sketch artists post on these boards and very admirable in particular that Noah Albrecht responded to criticism of his work.

way cool,

Dave

Hi

I've been a fan of these boards for a while but I've never posted before. I grabbed a few boxes of Heroes and I wanted to share my sketches. I know Exploding Peter is by Ingrid Hardy and Hiro and Peter is by Otis Frampton (both excellent!)
However I don't know who the artist of Claude is. Can anyone help me with that?

Thanks!

You don't know how lucky you are, not only are your sketches excellent but that Exploding Peter by Ingrid Hardy was supposed to be one of her returned cards and not even supposed to be in packs so you actually got an artist's returned sketch from one of your boxes. I wonder if TOPPS has ever made that mistake before?

Oh no! That's terrible if that's the case. Any way to confirm this?

Don't worry about it! I hope you like the card - he was fun to paint!

Ingrid I love the card! It's the only sketch card I'm keeping from this set. Are you sure you're cool with me keeping it though? I feel bad that you were supposed to get it back.

Mirth918, these things happen. I'm just glad nobody has said "ewwww, yucky card you pulled"! Then I might be depressed.

Onward we go.....bright horizons lay ahead! New lands to be discovered! Explicitly luscious chocolate to be eaten!

I just finished opening three cases and I feel pretty good.

My biggest fear was getting enough Parkman costume cards to sew my own together. I really lucked out by only getting four Parkmans in three cases. Unfortunately, I also got a duplicate autograph and duplicate Clair and Isaac costume cards. So, of a possible (by the odds) 24 major insert cards, I got 18 unique cards. One box had both a costume card and a sketch card to actually make 25 inserts.

Costume Cards
4 x Matt Parkman
3 x Isaac Mendez
2 x Claire Bennet (White)
1 x Claire Bennet (Red)
1 x Hiro Nakamura Jacket
1 x Hiro Nakamura Shirt

Autograph Cards
1 x Hayden Panettiere
1 x Zachary Quinto
2 x Sendhil Ramamurthy
1 x Masi Oka

Sketch Cards
1 x Brian Ashmore
1 x Howard Shum
1 x Sean Pence
1 x Cat Staggs
1 x Noah Albrecht
1 x Grant Gould
1 x John Watkins-Chow
1 x Unknown Artist (First photo, middle sketch)

If anyone can tell me who the artist is for the middle sketch in the first photo, I'd appreciate it.

What the heck is that sketch of? Holy cow, Jordan can do better and she is in first grade.

Aw. I have a fan.
Tell me, does your first grader also have a little more respect for individuals than you do?

Welcome Michael! I think folks might appreciate that sketch more if they knew it was part of a multi-card panel (like the one you did for Mohinder).

Totally agree. When I was setting up the puzzles I tried to make sure each card could stand alone as well as a whole.

Hi Michael!

Thanks for the ID. This was one of the best confrontations in the first season. I love the sketch composition.

Thanks.
