If you can, would love to know the amusing reasons 2 of your cards got diallowed, Sean. I'm a stickler for trivia

SeanPatrickPenceHaha Kris!
Since character likenesses were not allowed, I was directed to sketch various elements of the show including (but not limited to) dragons, dragon eggs, wolves, etc...
I rendered a total of three wolves; only one made it into packs as the other two were deemed... "too cute".
Amusing to me, as the sketches were referenced directly from GoT screen shots.

You could have tried a self-portrait and said it was Jaqen, or one of the other Faceless Men of Braavos. But I thought dragons *were* characters (without actor credits, though).

Kris GibsonHaha! I'm a dog lover so I find even the fiercest direwolf cute

Too few wolves on the cards from what I've seen so a real shame those 2 were rejected. Still, I have a home for abandoned dogs if they need a place to rest their weary heads

ctackerDavid, I'd like to know your titles for the sketch cards in these recent auctions, which I believe is the first time these have been seen:
Link 1 I assume this one is "House Bolton"
Link 2 Link 3 Link 4May 30, 2013, 12:01 PM
Kris Gibson^ The card in link 3 is simply jaw-dropping... Wish I could snag one of these beauties but those prices... :O

JessicaDid anyone see that White Walker sketch that went for around $900 something? Wow. Is that a record for a sketch or something?

Kris GibsonHave seen sketches from other stes go for much more than that. Think the most I've seen for a sketch was $3,000...

Ali_GRepeated post from another thread:
To those who pulled a sketch; was it in there replacing another chase card, or did the box you pulled it from still have 8 parallel, 2 quotable, 2 storyboard, 2 autos, a sigil and a relic/gallery card?
I ask as I always keep two unopened packs as part of my set (from a box where I've pulled all chase already), and the thought of a sketch hiding as an 'extra' chase from that box is painful!
Thanks

ctackerI just pulled a Bran Stark relic that's a variant, and it's also #001/375.
It's not for sale, but I'm just curious. I know the variant aspect makes it more valuable, but do you think the #1 makes it even more so?
June 02, 2013, 05:11 PM
VinnyHDoubly cool. With sportscards the 001 would get a slight premium. I have a Sansa Stark with similar lines that I paid 50 bucks for. Your's would have to be more but not sure how much more.
Best Always,
VinnyH
I decided to slowly build a relic set with all variants.

Yes, people who have a preference want low numbers and especially true of a #1, unless its a item with very little demand. Than no number will help it.

June 03, 2013, 02:27 AM
chesspiecefaceI agree. That's a good card with the design of the swatch, and the #1 makes it more interesting still. I have the number #50 of the same card.
Looking at them, I thought the fabric would be rough, but instead it's very soft. Is that true of all of them?
