I don't know who they approached to sign autos, but they were concentrating on new signers. I can't imagine every former star of this show turned down to sign.

I think in the long run RA concentrated on the wrong thing with this set. The sketches caused them more problems than they would not have expected.

I stand by my previous statement, but sticker cards. Really, they couldn't come up with anything better??

If artist posts are correct, the problem with the sketches appears to be that character likenesses were drawn on a number of actors that didn't agree to it. Originally it was mentioned that 3 characters were off limits. Now four actors are mentioned as gumming up the works. I would imagine these are a different group, since the sketches would seem to have done for these characters and then had to be rejected late in the process.

So is that to imply that 7 primary characters either refused from the start or had to be pulled from the sketches later on? If so, that would be most of the main Buffy cast.

I agree with you... I only cared about getting a SMG Buffy Auto.

But, I think they could have done something more besides stickers...

Atleast do not make the sketch cards basically a dealer incentive and I wish they could show us what the sketch cards look like.

I also wonder what the prices will be when the sketch cards hit the market.

Don't quote me but I thing all the rejections of the sketch cards was unforseen as I believe there where to be more added as just a hit. I also believe a card set was planned. Like I said don't quote on this as I don't know just what I got from the info i have when i was asked onto the set.

I am not sure if you would know... But are the sketches only of the monsters and or non-human characters?

Think there are sketches of Buffy or any other character?

Just curious to know...

One actor was just not involved from the beginning so it was 2 actors at first then 2 more so 4. The first 2 I didn't do any artwork of because i knew that as well as the one who was not involved. the second 2 were an unseen thing. Basically without the 4 actors there was no real reason to do any sketches in my Op. Would have saved me a lot of time and wasted materials.

Does anyone think that there might be a chance that because the sketches are incentives that the auto might be a bit cheaper to pick up off the bay early on if there are lots listed?

It always seems that way with other sets that include high end incentives, but maybe because this release is really only the one auto(which is quite limited) and sketches(even more so) this may not be the case.
