| I don't think it's a slap on the wrist for anything - Inkworks now has the BBC Doctor Who licence and so Strictly Ink are no longer able to produce (as I understand it) cards based on the BBC series (I think the latest Trilogy set was the last they produced under their licence) However, again as I understand it, SI DO still have the licence to produce non-BBC Doctor Who related product, such as the Peter Cushing movies.

Hi Triple-Frog Just finished opening the packets from my case, unbelievably I also made 7 sets of 17 missing the F12 foil card. I am just about to email Barrie to see if he can help. |

Yes you said that to me about the Achilleos Rose sketch you won from me - I am glad you like it ! However I think the devaluation has hit even the best sketches from these sets ( 30GBP for a Carolyn Edwards 2nd Doctor and 25GBP for a Nik 1st Doctor ) |

| I think the f12 thing was a screw up pure and simple. The original F sets seem to top out at about the £6.00 mark on the Bay so keeping its value is a little pointless. As to the sketch card devaluation well yeah that was inevitable with the numbers that suddenly hit the market all at once. I mean if you drop 900ish cards in all at once people are not going buy them all, and the prices will drop. That said some of the prices asked for on these cards was nutty. It will probably level out in a few months. |

| Thats already happened I have seen several cards do the rounds more than once on the Bay getting cheaper every time some of which have still not sold. That said the high end cards will always still fetch a good price, and this leveling out should mean more realistic prices for some of the "lesser" cards. |

| I have thought for a while that these were overpriced - I couldn't justify the expenditure for what they were. The star wars 30th sketches seemed to find their levels very quickly. Hopefully the prices will come down, which will benefit collectors. Looking on the dealer sites there are some serious prices there. I'll bide my time I think. ____________________ Any airsofters out there ?

| Well with the initial release of Trilogy the sketch cards were very hard to come by, with one or two per case which obviously pushed the prices sky high, the additional 800-900 sketch from the second edition means that even nice color sketches can be purchased at a reasonable price. I hope the new sets (like Hammer and 2000AD) will have a better ratio of sketches for there first waves, then the prices should stabilize quickly. Your right about some of the prices though, I cant see many of them selling above the £110 mark unless they are very special indeed. Before the second edition even some of the worst sketches could fetch £50+. From a collectors standpoint these price drops are great. What bugs me is the devaluation of the basic sets many other dealers seem happy to promote. 1 set in a box 999 boxes means probably less than 1500 sets in total and you can grab one for less than £5.00 it's daft. |

Ah, but not from the Monochrome set itself, so I say yes! |
