The series one did well but won't the series two just be a re-hash of what we just saw 6 months prior? Is there a checklist out there for the new series?

Is there a checklist out there for the new series?

Probably not. The sketch artists haven't even received their blanks yet.

Probably not. The sketch artists haven't even received their blanks yet.

The artists definitely have their blanks, some have had them long enough to have completed a number of them and gotten them approved so they can start showing scans. I've seen scans from a dozen or so artists so far, if anyone is interested I can post some of the samples in the non sports section here.

i'm interested.............. thanks.

[Incarnadine]

i'm interested.............. thanks.

Allrighty then, I just put up pics from the first 8 artists, with numbers if they are known.:cool:

[go_steelers07]

thanks...... i agree about being unsure of this product.

I did talk with someone from Upper Deck and they don't have any information at all to give out. The guy on the phone told me to check back in next month to see if they have anything finalized enough so they could send out e-mails or sell sheets with some photos and a checklist. I am really interested in the scans of some of the sketch cards.
The thing that really worries me about the sketches is who will be doing them and in what quantity. If one of the artists from series one only did a handful of sketches but in series two he will be doing 200 does that now de-value his series one sketches? I only bought three boxes of the series one and was planning on keeping all of my sketches but it would stink to know that the Joey Mason sketch I got of spider-Man (Mason only did 20 sketches according to published numbers) which I would guess could go for $150 or so on rip-off-bay if I ever wanted to sell it may go down in value. I hope they at least use some different artists.

Since I'm 36, I guess this leaves me out. I pre-ordered a couple of cases. Should I be embarrassed? :o

[ifish73]

Right there with you. I'm 34. I haven't bought non-sport since 1995. My son who is 4 helped me open a few boxes of cards at Christmas and loved the inserts. He has no concept of value or how to properly take care of cards so I saw the MM series one in the store. I bought a few packs for him and got hooked. Then I bought a box from blowout and now I am hooked on this as well!

They didn't have them at the time I made my post.

Just curious...do you know some of the artists? If not, is this info posted somewhere?

Thanks,

Heh, I am one. :D

[mwheeler27]

Heh, I am one. :D

AWESOME! Would you mind letting us know which one you are? If not, that's okay, but I enjoy collecting people I know more than total strangers. Have you been given blank cards yet? Also, how many are you going to do?

Thanks!

Yeah that's cool. I'm Ted Dastick Jr. I'm doing 50 for this set, I'm halfway done.

I've also done cards in the Breygent Movie Poster set that just came out, and I'll have sketches in Indiana Jones Heritage. :)

Welcome aboard!!!!!!

Guess we'll have to wait til next week to pull one of your sketches from Indy.

[mwheeler27]

Thanks again Ted! I have actually ordered all of those products weeks ago, so I'll keep an eye out for your sketches. I will most likely keep and perhaps even buy a few more of yours now. Keep up the great work.

Take care,

Matt

You know, I bought one of those boxes, and guess whose sketch card I pulled? :rolleyes:

Cool, that means a lot that you like my work! :)


And whoops, I screwed up in my earlier post. I'm doing 100 for MM2, not 50. I have 50 finished... :o
