So Topps policy is no AM's now? I thought it was a New Line issue. That sucks. I guess that makes the crappy Evo sketch cards I have worth something  |

Dave, this is Topps! So there are no aftermarkets allowed for any of their sets now!  I think that they (technically) can't forbid it legally. So instead, as I undertand it, they just say any artist who does aftermarket coloring won't be invited back for any future set. |

I don't know a single artist that has crossed over that line. |

An artist would be foolish to cross that line. Topps does more sketch cards than any other manufacturer and many of the artists have big followings. It would be shortsighted to do AM work and then never be able to do another Topps set. What I've noticed, though, is that it seems people want AM only on the Topps LOTR sketches. I can't recall seeing extra work done on other sketches, like CSI from Strictly Ink or Star Trek from Rittenhouse. You did really well with your pulls, sfmuggle! You have two great autos and the sketches are good. You pulled a nice Isaac shirt, too.  I've won a couple of costumes for the set so far. Eventually, I'd like to get a complete costume set and a sketch or two. |

Makes sense that an artist wouldn't want to step over the line to risk banishment. |

Dave, this is Topps! So there are no aftermarkets allowed for any of their sets now! I thought SW: ROTS, SW: Heritage, & LOTR Evolution cards could still have aftermarket work done, but anything since then (including LOTR Masterpieces I & II, Heroes, Indy, Star Wars 30th) could not have aftermarkets. |

Your right. Evo was the last set that AM's were allowed. Anything before that is OK to have them colored. Sorry, my brain was only thinking current sets.   |

I echo your sentiment in that I also really like this set (in general). However, I have one problem with the set thus far and it has to do with one particular insert. I opened 3 cases last night and, in 5-6 of the boxes, I got the exact identical costume insert, namely Matt Parkman's police uniform  Along with the 3 that got from my previous 2 cases, I feel like I almost have enough to piece his entire uniform back together |

you still got some nice pulls Gimli although you got more Parkman uniforms than I did (I think I ended up with 8 or 9). I think you're right with regard to the artists - though I'm not all too familiar with Goodmanson. super nice sketch of Niki Sanders |

Did you get your cases from Cards Inc.
Has anyone got any cases from Cards Inc?
Dave.

I haven't got my case from CI but I really didn't expect it yet. Last week, I received the one I ordered from the US.

I didn't buy my cases from cards Inc
I am not that disappointed with my sketches but i don't think this product was as good as it could have been way too many costumes per case. would have preferred sketches or autos to be more plentiful

I like the Nathan and Isaac sketches. Can anyone tell me who the artists are? I was happy to snag this costume a week ago. The swatch was much better than what I could see from the seller's scan. I like costume cards that have some color.  |

Michael Duron sketched Nathan Petrelli and Kevin Doyle sketched Isaac Mendez. Nice swatch.

Great cards, Jackie!  I love the patch cards. Does the white Claire costume have a blood stain? |
