I pulled one of your "Gollum with fish", much like the one shown above, but the picture is flipped, and Gollum looks like he's going to take a bite...

Looks like Howard Shum numbered his sketches, i see the numbers in the top right side, I have 48.

The variety and quality of these sketches is really wild, I'm hoping to pick up packs later today. Great pulls, everyone!

It's Pronovost I sign my art -A. Pro 'XX- because my last name is just way too long.

Think Pronovost, like the hockey player

I drew a whole bunch of gollum with fish. it just seemed like the perfect accessory for Gollum I also have a Gollum sprinking crumbs on a sam.

And to the person giving the set a B+, I will admit that I did a couple of cards thay, now that I look at them, I am going 'Gah!', but out of 500 drawings, I've onyl gone 'gah' at about 5 f them. That's a 1% 'Gah!' ratio, which is pretty good

One box and I'm very pleased!

6 Evolution A cards: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16
2 Evolution B cards: 3 and 4
4 stained glass cards: 4, 5, 8, 10

2 Sketches:
Cat Staggs -- Merry (?)
Paul Gutierrez -- Gollum

Got another box and was very happy with the results. Inserts were the standard 6:a's, 2:b's, and 4 glass.

2 Sketches:
Wildman?/Molinelli (can you confirm Mr. Molinelli? Thanks!; Merry/Staggs

Yup that is that pirate leader who swears by his blood oath to serve Sauruman and Sauron, by slicing his hand. And ALL of you guys can call me Ram or Rich.

Rich

can't be - His teeth are far too good

fantastic Merry sketches from Cat

Tialessa - your Kayanan Legolas is just amazing!

Alright, finally got the size right. Here's some scans from the first case. I got 14 sketcha cards.
Erwert, Ramos, and Molinelli.

And Woodside, Cynthia Cummens, and Norton.

And please help with these artists names??

Robert Teranishi, Jake Myler & Otis Frampton

It's a good thing we have experts around here. Thanks,

Just looked at LOTR sketches

HA that Eye of Sauron has a home, I'm glad a dealer didn't get that one! Congrats man thats one of my favs even though I could never get those clouds as dark as I wanted too, the card kept absorbing the markers.

These were my pulls from the free boxes that Topps sent us artists. TOO BAD NO STORES IN NAUSSAU COUNTY WILL ORDER THE CARDS FOR ME TO GET MORE!



The legolas is the one I'm selling. Hope I'm allowed to say that, if not I'll take it out.

My Latest Partial Case Yield:

My wife and I busted our case earlier this morning and I have to say that the base set is exceptionally nice.
We managed to make 2 full sets of "Stained Glass", with 12 extras.
A full set of A cards, being 2 cards short of a second full set. I've only got 6 B cards, but I'll have to go back through the commons as I'm sure we put some of these with the commons thinking they were -8's.
As usual the sketchcards vary in quality, but as another member has already stated since most boxes yeild two sketches plus two other insert levels, these boxes do give the buyer value.
We pulled 14 sketches and one box even had 3!
All in all a very nice product.

A very nice Gimli by Allison Sohn. Gladriel(?) by Howard Shum.

Gimli by Otis Frampton, Legolas by Otis Frampton, and Arwen by James Hodgkins.

Denothor by John McCrea, Sauron by Mandrake, and Wraith by Dalla Vecchia.
