So was I but I can live with it - those sketches more than make up for it.
Neither are om MarleyEds sketch site, either.

Jimmy JazzI opened 15 boxes and all except one had the sketches staggered out a number of packs with no ryhme or reason so I don't feel there is a way to cherry pick this lot.
Don't want to be banned just my observation.
I don't think it can be done for this product.

It worked for me and my son

Hope that will help all Lotr Fans that did not get a sketch card in a box
Thank you for the address help, aelfwine, I will try that. If they don't believe me, they don't believe me. Nothing else I can do but try. Will let you all know how it goes.

Thanks.

Sorry Harris it wasn't my intention to give away cherry picking techniques. I thought expressing what my observations were concerning the packs I was opening was legit. I apologize to any I offended. I'll be more carful next time.
Cheers - Peter
Gotta give myself one of these -

cverdecAlso, here are 4 sketches that I bought at the Philly Show, too. The Frodo is Dan Parsons, Nazguls by Fabbri and Otis Frampton & Gollum by Della Vecchia. I really liked the Fellbeast behind the Nazgul in the Fabbri sketch

Master YodaPicked up a box today finally... seems hard to find boxes in my area now. Well pretty happy with what I got here they are.
I think first one is Pippen by Jeff Chandler and 2nd is Frodo by Jake Myler. Is there a name for the Crystal Ball with Sauron's eye?

Were coming just as fast as I remember where my brain is at.

I finished opening a case on Thursday night, took my sketches into work to scan them yesterday and silly me forgot the jpg's at work. I will post what I got from my case on Monday. I was extremely pleased with this case as it is by far the best I have opened.
The case included the following artists: Mandrake, Hernandez, Ramos, Budd, McCrea, Norton, Staggs and Kayanan.

Jimmy JazzLet's go already slackjaw..
we want to see your booty...er, ya know ..cards.

aelfwineWell me and my son opened our last box of our last case that we saved for "open that box day" and I'm still shaking from it

You should have seen my son and his friends when I jumped up and down and screamed like a crazy person out of control. I think that they must have thought I was going to have a heart attack or I was just plain crazy!!!!
We pulled a very nice Kayanan sketch of The elves lined up with their bows. I really like how Kayanan used the border of the card itself for the design of one of the bows!!!!

Enjoy

It is! It was put in a hard plastic screw down case as soon as we pulled it!! I would have never let my son take it outside to get the picture without it! I really was kinda worried to take it outside in the snow for the picture but we really wanted to get a good picture to show that Alaska has its collecters also

Thanks hammer, I'm still in shock that we pulled it on "open that box day". I don't think that we will ever forget this day
