Hi,
Not much talk on this one at all here! Is anybody buying in to this? Are any smaller dealers getting any in?
Thanks!

Justice41Thanks, they sprung them on us last minute. literally a few days before deadline of the main sketch cards. they even sent me two more after deadline. Chewie and C3p0 Did those so quick I didn't get to scan em.

GoldfishI like the purples used in the work above.
Sounds like the Chewbacca and C-3PO Sketchagraphs were the reason for the 3 week delay in the release. If so that's a good thing.

We all knew they were coming(those of us who volunteered to do sketchagraphs) just not when.

GoldfishI'll be intrigued at the Sketchagraph insert rate. Sell sheet said 800, so I am guessing 800 cases and 1 per case, but we shall have to see next week.

Justice41A few of My sketch Card Booklets.
April 20, 2015, 04:51 PM
Justice41By the By it's not just double sized booklet Sketch Cards it's also regular sized. Last Illustrated set only Had Booklets and Sketchagraphs.

chesspiecefaceKilled it on these, Cover. Great work!
I wanted to ask, are the sketChagraphs autographed before you draw on them, or after?

Justice41Before. It would take way too long to have us draw then send them out for auto's. they may spill something on the cards too.

I also like that they are not sticker autos.

April 29th.
Though I noticed someone has a sketch on eBay already, so some people got them early again.

Have A link for that auction?
April 25, 2015, 03:28 PM
GoldfishI don't see any auctions up doing a quick look.
Does anybody think this will be any good? Interested to get views.
April 26, 2015, 03:37 AM
Scifi CardsMust have been pulled. It was a 1 day auction but I don't see anything on completed auctions.
I personally think this will be a sleeper set that surprises people.

As long as it wasn't from a Topps employee or mystery account I don't really care! Was it a sketch? Any good?
I also think this might be ok, although doesn't seem like there is a tonne of stock about, which is strange. I often wonder where all the supposed hundreds of cases go...
