I have a question if you could help me. Is there a difference between buying from an online store (like a cardtalk advertiser) and buying from the 'bay? I was thinking in terms of rarer sketch card distribution - say if a dealer cracked a case and within the first couple of boxes he pulled a Kayanan(sp?), an then put the rest of the boxes up for auction. Is there then less of a likelyhood that there might be another one in the case? I guess I am likening the situation to that of an advertised "X" number per case thing. I will probably only buy one case so I want to give my $$ to a slick dealer who may have already scored a great card. | |||

I've seen lots of box breakdowns here and on another forum along with several case breakdowns. A couple of folks broke a box or two & pulled a Kayanan, while many have broken a case or more and have not. Unlike some other company releases where you can assume "Rare card A" is one per case, one per two cases, etc. after looking at breakdowns this Topps release doesn't appear to be like that. I'd personally buy from an advertiser over ebay, but that's my personal preference. The most important this is to MAKE SURE you get a hobby release if you want a sketch. Retail boxes have costumes (memorabilia cards). ____________________ Lessa - Addicted to Sketch cards - | |||

A friend of mine got 2 boxes that he just can't bring himself to open, so he's sending them to me. SEND ME GOOD VIBES end of the week - I need good karma come Friday or so when the boxes arrive  | |||

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK I will not wait that long. I will purchase a special box at the Philly show. Or is that your evil plan - to drive me insane by forcing me to keep an UNOPENED BOX with SKETCHES in my house for a MONTH -- UNOPENED??????!?!?!??!? I would have thought you'd want to keep me sane, at least till the charity event was over *sniff* ... | |||

OK... I broke down and got two boxes, and my first 3 sketch cards - one Shum (Arwen? #267), one Mitchell (Gandalf, very light), and a Sohn (a BEAUTIFUL Gimli)... here is the Gimli:  I am VERY pleased with the sketch cards, and I have some extra inserts I will be adding to my trade list tomorrow.

Just cracked another case, not too bad, I will just post a few of my favorites to save on space. Really like the Aragorn, can't tell if that is a sword or an arrow, maybe miss cat can shed some light on that.  ____________________ ztaylork | |||

Just thought I'd share what I found in my four boxes. I pulled seven sketch cards, so I can't complain. I got 7 of the 10 stain glass window cards and the following sketch cards:        I was kind of hoping to get a colored sketch card, so I'm more than willing to trade multiple sketch cards for one sketch card. You can see most of my sketch cards here: http://eng.utoledo.edu/~mlindega/sketchs/sketch_cards.html if you're interested. | |||

Well my parents just called me with their case break (they arene't really good with a scanner, but they pulled this card:  So I decided to crack another case, as we got these two cases from the same place and they had the same number on the side (and the same number as my other Kayanan case) and here is what it yielded: ( I like to call it the Dan Parsons case and the other card  If anyone needs me to rub there cases for them, I feel like my magic is running hot!!, as I complete the ritual before any big release!!!
