My first PSC

[Cat]

The serious sketch cards are GoT as it's reported that there are only 70 done for the series and I have only seen 2

Definitely! The ones I've seen sold for some crazy amount! (I think I saw one sell for something like $1000). Insane price considering they had no main characters (actor likenesses) in.

Mauro Fodra does a lot of sketches for each release so I've always thought that's why his work is lower in value, because the supply is greater than the demand. I think he draws an amazing Hulk though! I've been looking to buy one by him. Jomar Bulda is another artist that I am surprised by how low his cards sell for. I think it must also be because he does a lot of them.

I agree with your valuation of sketches from $60-$80 boxes for sure. It's hard to pull a sketch which covers the cost of the box. That's probably why I only break boxes for the enjoyment of the break. Although, most of my money nowadays goes to buying sketches I want directly from ebay etc. I've been able to pick up way more sketches that I like than I would have if I was breaking cases. Probably because I'm super fussy with sketches!

Jomar Bulda is another artist I really like. And you are right his sketches sell pretty cheap too. Coming from buying NFL boxes, I think the concept of getting $30 of value back from a $60-$80 box for example is pretty common, almost making it a good break!

Added a new PSC Sketch to the collection.. Brandon Lee as 'The Crow' by Tim Proctor.

Very nice ! That's a really different style too with the different shades. You see the mono black and white a fair bit, but not with a couple of different greys as well... Just checked out some of his other work, looks like good stuff...

I just bit the bullet today and commissioned some PSC's by Frank Kadar seeing as he was taking them for a short period...really looking forward to see what he does. Think he still has a spot or two open if anyone is interested...

Yeah Proctor does some really awesome work. I did request a black and white type of colouring because I thought it most suits 'The Crow' look, so was very happy with how it turned out. It did take quite a while (from before October) but he did have to have surgery and kept me updated so I wasn't too bothered. Plus he doesn't charge much at all ($25) for some really good work. Will look at getting a Harley Quinn from him in the future.

I saw that Frank Kadar had some FS and have been very, very tempted to bite the bullet and get a Harley Quinn done by him. If I had a bit more Paypal funds I would have! I am waiting on a couple from Jeffrey Abar (a Quinn PSC and an Orca Whale AP from 'The Deep') that are due to be ready around end of Jan / beginning of Feb.

 

[AusRam]

Yeah, I think as long as they keep you posted you're happy to cop some delays...life gets in the way for all of us sometimes ! It's when you hear about people disappearing or read some of the other stuff that goes on that you get worried...

Exactly! It helped also that Tim said right at the beginning he had a lot of work on and there would be a wait.

I see Tim's having a $20 color sketch sale, might give him a go, that price is hard to pass up! Do you happen to remember what he charged for postage ?

From memory I think it was an extra $5. He does some great work, but can take a little while. I would definitely recommend him though especially considering how cheap his charges are really. I am thinking of picking up another 1 or 2 myself.

Two new commissions form Jeffery Abar - another great Artist to deal with.

First up is an Artist Proof I requested from Viceroy's 'The Deep'. I really like the sets that Viceroy do and love Orca Whales so couldn't rsist not having this one.





And next up is a Harley Quinn PSC sketch card. I requested Harley Quinn and left the rest up to Jeff to decide on. He went with a "many faces of Harley Quinn" theme and I it turned out great. I asked to not see the scan for either of these so it was a pretty awesome surprise seeing them for the first time when I opened the parcel up.

That Harley is great, would have been pretty cool with just the middle one, but a three for one deal is awesome!

I really like her with pigtails.


This is not mine, but I saw this over on BO, it was a commission with David Desbois, and they are simply stunning...

Wow, those are really nice...

It helps that I love the show. I imagine those would be pretty damn costly!
