Downton Abbey

Cryptozoic has some of the sketch cards up on their page (Which all look incredible), so I can finally post one I worked on. Really enjoyed working on this set since I'm a huge fan of the show.

Jessica Brown Findlay finally returned her cards, so the release date should be posted soon.

That looks great! Got my fingers crossed that my wife would be so lucky as to pull one of your sketches out of her two boxes!

Thanks! I hope she gets one as well. I did an equal amount of the standard size cards and the smaller set. Hopefully she'll find a Mr. Carson card. He's always fun to draw.:P

I think she would prefer Mr. Carson. He is one of her favorites on the show!

I just poked around the web to see if anyone else showing this April 16 release date. I found that Blowout cards has it listed as June 27

I am hoping that was just a case of Blowout moving the date to the end of the second quarter. Ed, you still hearing April 16 from "your source" ?

April 16 came from GTS, who is one of the few distributors. You would think the info would be reliable. But release dates from Cryptozoic are always questionable until the last minute.

They do show all the autos have been returned, so that is usually the big hurdle for them.

I am looking forward to this release. Too bad it couldn't be the week of the Chicago show than I could open my boxes there.

Cryptozoic does show a release date of 04/16/2014 on their site, and they have also posted a link showing the cards. I think that the design for the base and chase sets looks great. However, I am disappointed that there are only 12 wardrobe cards. And the ratios for the sketches are horrible: Sketch Cards are inserted 1 in 595 packs. Mini Sketch Cards are inserted 1 in 1674 packs.

Thanks for the updated info. I didn't know where you got your info on wardrobe and sketch cards from but now I see they have a link to a pdf file at the bottom of the page

Here are a few of the approved sketch cards I did for the set. The minis measure 1.5 x 2.5 I think?

Really excellent quality

. Alison Sohn posted on Scoundrel that she did sketches for this set, her first after a long time away from the hobby.
