Hi,

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

Thanks!

the small heads in some of the art is the either the voice actor from the radio drama or the actors who played the characters seen.

I 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.

I'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.

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

Before. 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.

I pre-ordered a box, can't wait to see what's inside as ESB is definitely my favorite SW movie (as many people I guess)

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?

I don't see any auctions up doing a quick look.

Does anybody think this will be any good? Interested to get views.

Must 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...
