I actually prefer to get commissions done, something I can frame Smile


Awww heck ZTK, you can frame your sketch cards easily, just use teeny tiny frames. Big Grin

well, it wasnt a complete box breakdown, it was the bottum 6 packs in the box. But, it did yield two sketchs. Another miscellanous Martinez for the common box, and an awesome cat staggs Boromir dying sketch, with the arrow stuck in him.

I do not know how long my willpower can hold out, especially since I believe boxes with lot number 22047 had yielded a lot of Kayanan's. Will keep you posted.

I had a case 22047 - no Kayanan's - but I still have 1 sealed box from the case (was going to keep unopened) - now you have me worried.

BTW - 2 geek points for telling me where the serial number TK421 comes from -

tk-421 was the designation for the the storm trooper luke knocked out and took the uniform off. The deck officer asked him over his com "TK-421, why arent you at your post".

Tk421 I don't have a clue.

As for the 22047 lot, one of the Kayanan's I have came from a loose box break with that lot number. I also know that the seller I got this case from previously sold a Kayanan a few weeks ago I am assuming was from this batch. He may have got the 5.5th case to hold a Kayanan per the odds. It seems like (to me) that quite a few Kayanan's showed up later in the run. Maybe they stuffed the middle cases with the 1000 type sketches and for the final boxes had to stuff all the goodies in them.

I am only presuming much of this but had seen someone else make a previous comment to this effect as well.

I will likely bust it open as it is too much fun not to but probably not till Monday on my day off and I can enjoy it.

I busted into my case yesterday and the first four boxes yielded the below sketches.

Booth Gothmog and Martinez Eye




Box 2 had a Hodgkins Elf and Dave Dorman Orc




Box 3 yielded a single Hodges ?



Box 4 proved to be the persuasion that any box can be stoked with big hits as I pulled both of these gems/ladies from the same box. Galadriel Sohn and Cummens Eowyn in helmet.



More to follow.

Last half of my case yielded the follwing sketches.

Box 5 Myler Aragorn and Martinez Nazgul



Box 6 was another dual hit box with both of these in the same box. Hernandez Orc and Staggs Boromir.



Box 7 a Gandal Gutierrez and a Corroney Eye



Last box had a lone Dalla Vechia Mouth of Suaron




Overall very pleased with the lot of them and got a handfull of big hitters I was looking to pick up for my collection anyway.

Hey everyone, I need your help.

I paid Otis Frampton to do a 3-card commission for me when this set was first released on three of the six cards he got back from Topps, but I STILL have not decided what I want on it (an important decision!) I've narrowed it down to these three choices. Please let me know which you think would look the best. Please remember the artists style. THANKS!!
