It took a while, but I finally got my prize for winning the 2007 NSU sketch card contest. The price was one color sketch card from artist Jim Kyle. Since he was a little late, he added another color sketch and the Indiana Jones artist return sketch.
Needless to say, it was well worth the wait!

certainly worth the wait

Wow, the wait certainly seems worth it in the end. Congrats on the nice additions!!! I've met Jim and he seems to be a really cool guy. With him sending you that return card only proves it.

My newest addition is 16 years old

The very first pack-inserted Sketch Card by an artist/ creator, from Bone by Jeff Smith. This has been a Holy Grail find for me.

I saw that card on ebay.
I can't believe you paid US$375 for it
but whatever...

congrats on your newest addition.

Thanks for a worthless comment dude!

i have 3 of those sketch cards! They are actually faily common

The book value is US$75
and the last one on ebay sold for US$150

like i said, whatever...

Please don't make this personal and attack each other here, folks.

Thanks.

The Bone sketch is a nice card, although it was a tough pull there were quite a few done (100 I think), so they do pop up from time to time. The last few I've seen sell were sub $200, but I missed this auction somehow.

PaNdeM0niuM -- if you have one your interested in trading drop me a line.

I'm sure we'd all love to see the scans of your 3 '94 Sketch Cards. You are the Bone Collector Extraordinaire if you have 3 x/100 Sketch Cards. Congrats.

I was unaware of the past lower prices. Let's see how many of these surface in this decade; I'm not counting on more than 3 or 4. Most (i.e. the 5-10 out there) have been sucked up by collectors.

An image of the front and back of one such card seen here:

I noticed that my eBay find was much more well done than this one, so I nabbed it. Like I said, I'd love to see which you have and how they compare.

congrats prenz!
I always wanted one of those, too!

Nice sketch Prenz! I always have been a great fan of Jeff Smiths work, got all of his Bone comics! Enjoy the card!

Lovely Bone sketch!!! Great find! I still love that comic.

If that sold for $375 then I'll be parting with mine if I can find it.

I am a huge fan of Katie Cook sketch cards,and currently have 67,I was lucky enough to have 2 (the only 2 sketch cards in the case) in m Indiana Jones Heritage case,any one else out there have any ? and if yes which ones ?

I just checked and was astonished to realize to call 8 cards of Katie Cook my own:
Hiro (Heroes), The One Ring, Frodo, Aragorn, Treebeard, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Shazam and Boba Fett. I won the Shazam and Boba was a commission, the others are all on official card stock.

Juat got a scan of a stick-figure like picture from an up-and-coming artist who may be big some day if the technique improves

Not a bad effort - the boy could have a future in art!!!

looks great
