I've counted 108 sketches so far. Of that number, 17 of them are AR's bringing the pack/sealed sketches to 91. There are currently 3 sealed packs on eBay. Does this mean there actually was 100 sketch packs produced?

Of all these sketches I only have ONE in my personal collection: Olaf from Javier Gonzalez. Not my favorite character, but I'm just happy to have any sketch from this series

Please Post Photo so I can add it to my Gallery.

Thanks

Have you all seen the new article - "2016 Trading Card Preview" in the new issue and the SMG relic card????

No but you've definitely piqued my interest. I've been trying to get news on if and when another Buffy set is coming for months now. Looks like I have to get myself a copy of the new issue.

No, care to scan and post for those of us without a subscription?

The 2016 preview NSU does is, in my opinion, one of the best articles of the year. NSU do a LOT of work asking companies for the headlines for the year. If you don't subscribe, you miss 6 editions of a great magazine and if you only buy a couple of editions a year this is one of the ones you want

Nice of you to say, Hammer. Celeb interviews and the Annual Preview feature take the most work to do and you get both in the current issue.

Yes Indeed - All Enjoyable

Thanks very much for the plug, Hammer! Much appreciated. Like Alan says, lots of work goes into the issues.

Did the issue say approx. time frame for release or is that top secret?

Buy the magazine *******!

I used to have a subscription for so many years. Looks like I'll have to at least pick up this issue or consider re-subscribing.

So I received the February-March issue and saw that great teaser of a SMG auto/relic card. And yes, you have to get the magazine. Better yet, subscribe to NSU.

Now I am going to make my suggestion to RA well in advance so that it can't be called a negative comment. It is a suggestion based on past history.

Make a product this time around. Make a set to surround that card. Find other premium hits to include for those who don't get that card. Put it out in any form you want, traditional box, premium pack, premium box set, loaded box, whatever you want to call it. Make it affordable enough to give average collectors a chance to buy something and have a shot at that card.

It will be limited enough for the demand, it will sell through. Just make the darn product.

And it's a really nice card.

What are the odds of more sketch cards being included with the second Buffy release?

I contacted Steve from Rittenhouse and basically he said that they have not finalized any specific plan for the New Buffy set...

Most likely it will be available towards the end of this year.

I would be very surprised if they were not included. Despite the problems they had with approvals, I'm sure Rittenhouse is well aware of what the first ones sold for (at least what they initially sold for). They add high value to the product so I would think they would try to include them again.

I kind of love that Sarah Michelle Gellar has more autograph cards available than some of her co-stars now. I do hope to see autographs from some of her co-stars in this new set whenever that may be released.

I can't imagine who'd be at the top of your want list.

Obviously Charisma but I would love a shot at Alyson Hannigan too.
