Overall I enjoyed this set a lot. The inserts are great and majority of the sketches were good, a little disappointed to see those quick pencil sketches like from Mars Heritage set.
I ended up with 3 Graffiti, 4 Gore, 9 concept and 16 gold parallels. I was able to complete the heritage parallel set though one card was damaged so I traded with someone for a new one. Here are the main hits.

Case 1

Two Ted's are better than one. Sounds like an old saying!

This!! Cant believe topps allowed those sketches.
Have to admit from the breaks i have seen and ebay there are to many dud sketches in these cases.

Even with the 2 or 3 lower quality sketches, both cases were still pretty nice. Good to see lots of color on the sketch cards, and you can't go wrong with 2 Ted's.

On the Sawyer sketch, pretty scary since they threw out 75 of his sketches and only kept 25. If this was one of his better sketches, I can't imagine what got thrown out!

Remember the Indy whips? Think along those lines.

I was happy with both cases but I wish they threw out all of Sawyer's sketches.

I see these on Ebay right now. If it helps with the search terms, the first one is Doonesbury, the second is Dick Tracy.
