It's fun stuff, Jason! A great way to find collectors and talk trades.

By the way, pulled one of your sketch cards tonight:



I'm mostly a Cap collector, so I'm hoping this card ends up with the right person!

OK, the gamble got the better part of me and I bought more that I had wanted to and ended getting 26 packs. so was looking through the site and found these checklists for sketches, was there ever a list for the physical packs;

There is a checklist for physical - check cardboard connection. The list you have up there may be incomplete because that only reflects artists who have been pulled and are sitting on ePacks available for you to haggle over. Did UDMatt ever post a list for us?

Here was our box break. We found this really interesting and would like to hear others opinions on how we did. We know hardly anything about any artists, so any help would be grealy appreaciated.




Thanks,
Jeff

Only need about 8 more Base for the achievement cards.
Have plenty of dupe base as well. Let’s make some trades
Same name on there as here

I tried to fight it, and lost.

Bought 8 boxes. It didn't help that the very first box had a sketch from Idan, of which I've got an AP from because I dig his style, that loosened me up some.

Didn't do too bad, had some good boxes and a couple bad ones.. biggest hits were probably a Hellstorm Larkin and a Spider-Man /15 gold bust.

Seeing people break more than one box makes me feel cowardly. Breaking 6, 8, 10+ boxes, y'all have some stones of steel. I might break down and try one. The issue is how easy it is. Just a few clicks and $300 is gone. Don't like what you got or the itch is still there, boom, another $300.

I opened one more. Definitely done now. This one had 3 sketches. Wish I knew who did the Union Jack.

Really liking these cards by Nick Hernandez, shame I haven't pulled one.



Happy with this one.

Well, it looks like UD knew what they were doing after all.

People griped at first, but now it looks like plenty are biting the bullet and ponying up the $$

UD should have priced them at 399.99 or even 499.99...pretty easy to see that people have money to blow!

Yeah that's insane! Looking at all the sketches pulled, not sure it's worth it at all

The price just puts it out of the range of many people like myself. I'd rather pay 300 for an artist commission than roll the dice on hopefully landing a big name sketch card. Then again I'm not a gambling man.
The base cards aren't on the level of 2016mm so there is no draw there for me. The achievement cards look like regular base cards just diff characters. Not inspiring at all, at least make them foil or stand out.

I agree. Even though I collect a banned character, the sketches are just too much of a gamble. To be honest, I think they look solid for the most part it’s just too high of a price to commit too.

I have a black widow /5 base if anyone needs. Looked to sell or trade it for a real nice sketch.

I've opened 3 and each time I do it, I kick myself. I have gotten lucky I think - pulled 3 Quad Panel Sketches - Black Panther, Sabretooh (Wolverine on the other side) and a Guardians one. And a Black Magneto Card and Gold Cyclops. No idea what the hell I am doing. Still a decent amount of money.
