Default looking for 1 of EVERY licensed sketch card ever

I'm on a mission to own looking 1 sample of EVERY licensed sketch card set, including Convention Exclusives, KickStarter rewards, and various small set rarities (5FINITY, ChadPops, Perna, etc).

I've scanned my first 500+ cards here.

Thanks!

Wow, one heck of a collection! There is some amazing art work for a sketch on some of those!

Good catch.
I think I'm still missing those.

I know I have about 20 additional sets in my COMC account I need shipped to me (then scanned & added).

If you have Chadpops, Galans, or other short print sets like Perna's for trade, please PM me. Cheers! -- Chris M.

Awesome project OP! I’d rank the Matt Groening Simpsons sketch cards (Homer & Bart) and any of the Disney Treasures sketches as the most difficult to locate.

Which have been your toughest sketches to acquire?

I've been hunting an "Art De Bart" for years. They're out there, but the price keeps getting higher. UGH.

Similarly the Goodwin "Art of the Ages" just keeps escalating in price and slipping through my fingers.

Do you know there are multiple Disney Treasures sets with sketch cards (maybe 4 different)? I think the only difference is that each unique artist got custom card stock, but the basic layout is the same across all sets.

The most difficult (for me) to locate is Fleer Transformers Armada Sketchagraph, and I'll tell you why. Only 50 were made, and they were all by redemption. Then Fleer filed bankruptcy. Only like 5 copies were ever sent out. The other 45 were bought up by some liquidation company that still has NO IDEA what they have.

I can't tell you how many times I've built a "needs list" and said to myself "only 50 more cards and I'm done" and then some weirdo set I've never heard of pops-up, like yet another Topps On-Demand variation or SDCC exclusive. The fun has been cataloging all the cards you will likely never see again in a whole year of eBay listings.

Do you also keep track of the various ePack achievement sketch cards?

For example there was a weekly Predator set that awarded a sketch when you completed a full multiple week set of cards a few years ago.

And there is currently a similar Crow weekly set that will award a Crow sketch (currently in week 12 of 15).

If it helps, below are all the current sketch cards in sets showing on ePack. Obviously Crow and Unbound sketches haven’t been awarded yet. Another oddball sketch card I have seen in the past were the Upper Deck employee giveaways that had special “thank you” text on back and I believe are given out as Christmas bonuses. Maybe UDMatt would have more info on those.

The Achievements are going to kill me. I'll never do the hard work to assemble/earn one, I must rely upon COMC ...

I've bought or traded for the Xfiles, 2019 Weekly, & 2020 Weekly.

The Crow is gonna cost me a kidney.

PS -- I added 3 more cards/scans to the gallery today.

That’s just the 10 that are left sitting on ePack (and unlocked)… I want to say 250 achievements were possible?

Whew. That totally makes more sense.
What's weird is that there are only 2 live on eBay, and 2 past sales (that I can find), so they are very much infrequent on eBay.

It's cool seeing all the backs, quite an ambitious project. I went through my sketch cards and these are the backs that weren't on your catalog list.

Click image for larger version

Name:	card backs 2.JPG
Views:	82
Size:	180.2 KB
ID:	519261

First is that back of the Marvel Premier employee reward that Fin mentioned
second is a booklet back of woman of dynamite
third is the Mandalorian
fourth is an avengers back that was different and may be unique to case incentive
fifth is a marvel premier sketch but part of the hellfire subset (and pretty cool)
sixth is a classic fairy tales 2 (you might have that in the mail as it's not on your list of needs)

I also had a marvel annual battle booklet that has a different back, but weren't sure if you categorizing those differences.

And not that you need anymore work, but I've always found that backs of the different artists PSC to be pretty cool.

If you want another project when you finish this one, haha.

Thank you, Thank you.
This is all very helpful.

I'm thinking my strategy is to
(phase 1.) Get everything that I can find at a decent price;
(phase 2.) Add Google scans of everything I can't acquire as a placeholder, but label them as "not in-hand"
(phase 3.) Start on all the booklets & oversize.
(phase 4.) Start on the PSC's.

Whew. Thanks all.

Thank you!
I just picked up a Mandy and Trizia Kickstarter, and have the 2021Holiday Thank You card on its way to me. -- I can only afford to pick up a couple cards a week, but I'm taking notes.

Okay; just did a big update with 16 more sets.

I think I now own/identify 92 different Marvel sketch card backs/sets.

Still trading for what I don't have. Thanks!

Whew! -- I finally set up my scanner at my new home, and just uploaded 65 more sketch cards.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/t86gykfZFph8XyB17

I also set up a secondary Google gallery of sketch cards I'm missing ... so between the two I hope to have archived every sketch card ever.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/UAwfCoDfhi8NRbi6A

I know more editing is needed (plus my current COMC account), but I'm starting to see a method to my madness.

Beautiful collection. Congrats on acquiring so many. If you ever are looking for more check out my COMC port. Have some nice sketches on there and will sending more in soon. Wish you all the best.
