I pulled another tough sketch today but now colored :'(
Actually both John Frick and I both had a couple nice pulls. Here are the pix.
Mine is (was) the in your grill guy.

Those are both awesome. I really like the weird ones like these as they represent a strange moment of the day where Jay just said "screw it" and went off on these.

He does have a great style. I just wasn't sure how other Wacky collectors would respond
-
I am very interested to see the one-of-a-kinds/exotics/non-wacky's/whatever they are caliing them now, especially the different beanie guys since I have one of them. Perhaps someday a gallery of them will emerge?

Brad, You have some really nice pulls with old school. How many boxes did you go through?

I think about 70. I am done buying boxes...for now.... ;D
-
Did you pull any Dr Onos or Paste anyplace kids, or are they still mia? What about Bubble yuk? From what I've read, I have only heard of 2.

70 boxes! Wow! :o
-
Holy ow, 70 boxes! That's a lot of scratch. I see that you had pulled a couple of high end ones, that certainly helps defray the cost.

Just order the poster. I think that most are on there.

My goal was to get all the base sketch cards and not have to spend much money. Luckily I was able to score some nice high end ones so I am still down just a few bucks but should break even soon. It's a total crap shoot. When I purchased 27 boxes I pulled the colored. I thought that was easy. I just got in 30 boxes yesterday and only pulled the one-off guy in your grill sketch. Everything else was the same sketches everyone else has. None of the tougher pulls.
By the way, I overnighted all of these boxes so you can imagine the extra expense. I think I have now paid about $1000 just in shipping.

Nope, I am still looking for those along with an umbrella girl
-
same here. If you pull 2 of any of those (which is very common to pull 2 of the same in a row), PLEEEASE let me know. Thanks
-
All of the sketches (highly detailed or not) look very nice.
-

The colored ones are really nice but I'd personally rather have this "in your grill guy". That's an awesome sketch!
-
I just finished cutting up my sketch card poster. The artwork is phonomenal. I'm going to get them laminated & have a full set of the colored sketches & the "exotics" without spending $100k ;) If you haven't purchased a sketch card poster, you don't know what you are missing.
-
No doubt! The "Sketch-Card" Poster is nothing less than AWESOME!!!
-
Those are some of the most interesting Old School.Lynch sketches I've seen yet.
Have you opened all your boxes?
-
Maybe the "in your grill" guy is the pizza delivery guy Jay mentioned.

I am still waiting for my 2 sketch posters. Ordered them last week. Damn you media mail >:D
-

That would be one ugly pizza guy! It could be right. I won't know until the sketch poster shows up to see. My eyes aren't that great to review off the little poster flyer.

I got mine yasterday...It is nothing less than AWSOME 8)

One of my favorite forum features so far.
(You could blow out a candle just by uttering that sentence.) (Lot of "f"s.)
-

Most maybe, but not all. I know that my beanie guy isn't on the poster and the one with the "warty" nose isn't either.

-
Wow! I saw the "disgusting" beanie guy already, but that face sketch is funky and different, and I dig it!
Both really great! Thanks for sharing them here!
-

I don't have the poster so I can't really make it out from the little flyer, but what about the card on the bottom row, second from left? It looks like a guy with a vest like a pizza guy would wear and he appears to be carrying something. Can't make out what he is saying either. Someone with the poster, can you make it out better?

Speaking of sketches, there seems to be a slowdown on the number of eBay new listings. Also, the common sketches appear to be dropping in price. Ones that used to go for $25 regularly are now around $20. Others that had gone for $75-$100 are now in the $35-$50 range. And why does is seem like every other sketch for sale is a PUPSI?!

Yes, the more frequent sketches are slowing down. I have about 30 extra sketches. I may end up having a fire sale :))

Is the Quaker Oat Duck considered common?

Now I'm definitely reluctant to buy more boxes at the current price. Imagine paying like $60 shipped and pulling a fishbone guy sketch. I wish Topps would at least offer free shipping again. Geez, throw us a bone already!
-

Bill, how are you doing with your sketch cards? You must be down to only 2-3 at this point, no?
-
Hi Rob,
I'm down to 3: Dr Ono, Paste anyplace & umbrella. What about you? If you come across any extras on these, please give me a heads up.
-

Ok what I'm thinking, is that there have only been a few color sketches pulled so far (from what we've seen on the forum and ebay). So what are the odds of color ones still in Topps inventory vs. customers already purchased sealed boxes. I guessing Topps inventory, because not many people have the willpower to keep them sealed :)
-
Exotics is the winner.

I cut up my Sketch Card poster also. I didn't laminate my "cards" but I did put them in 9 pocket pages. I have three real Sketches also (Pupsi, Ajerx, Kook) That works for me.

They seems to run free shipping specials on the site here and there for all the products. There seems to be enough boxes left to wait it out for one of those specials. I'll see if I can get an idea when one may happen again.

Hi Rob,

I will, unless it's a Dr Ono!! That's the last one I have on my list so I have my radar out as well. I don't have "Paste Anyplace" on my list though because it's not technically a card title, and I'm not collecting the so-called "exotics". I have 24 titles on my list.
-
Thanks Rob. Are you buying any more boxes? I think I'm going to have to see a bottom in the sketch card market before I do. Sales seem to have stopped.

I'm still on the fence about that. I'm usually not very lucky so I could see myself getting a boatload of Chicken Fats and having it be a waste of money. On the other hand there is that chance that you could get a tough one or a colored one, so the temptation is definitely there to get some more.

Thanks Dave. They've got my business if they do that again in the near future. That free shipping is huge.
-
I can't remember who had this card on the other forum but I turned down a $250 offer - now that was stupid!

Wow that is a cool one. I don't remember it being mentioned on the forum.
-
Wow that is a cool one. I don't remember it being mentioned on the forum.
It was around the time I sold my one-off for $250 and then this card surfaced. At the time I thought $250 was a nice price for these one-off cards and I actually wanted this for my collection because it was really cool. I offered $100 for it and got a counter of $250. I declined, like a fool. Now the rest is history. Now looking back selling my other one-off for $650 looks trivial compared to this. The prices keep going up!
-
Well who knows how high these can go, but the eye popper one is arguably cooler than the face and the beanie monster.
-
Has anybody come across any B&W sketches that were used on the sketch poster? I checked mine and none of them are the exact ones used. Do you think if you find the exact matching B&W sketch that is pictured on the poster that it would bring a premium over other similar sketches?
-
Very good point. I think it would bring a little more for sure. I don't have the poster to check my sketches and 80% of what I had is gone. Obviously I do know that the kissing sketch was on there. Hopefully the poster will come today. It is taking forever!

I would also like to chime in but I don't have my poster either. I have been waiting 2 weeks so far from the date they shipped it.

Might be a fun little contest to see who can come up with the first "common" sketch that is the exact one pictured on the sketch poster.

I just sold my "Eye-Poppin" Sketch card on Ebay for $750!!

WOW! I believe that's the most for a B/W so far! :o

Thanks for posting a larger picture for the forum. I tried to copy it off ebay but they have it locked down.
How many boxes did it take you to pull this one?
-
Thanks Dave. They've got my business if they do that again in the near future. That free shipping is huge.
How much is the shipping on a box or two? I've only ordered these with free shipping.

Congrats Tom! I saw it in person. It's a beauty.
-
$750? You was robbed! That is a four thousand dollar drawing!
-
I will cancel the auction and relist it for $4000
-
Over $9! :-[
You are better off ordering more then one box to bring the shipping down. Just go to the site and play around with the shipping and number of boxes. Its a no brainer!

Jay Lynch seriously needs a cool avatar. Someone must make him an animated avatar of one of his sketches.

I wish I had the self portrait sketch to scan in. That would be cool!

There might be a useable self portrait of me that I did ten years ago on my underwear page here http://cafepress.com/jaylynch

Someone should animate the eye popping one for sure. That would be really awesome.
-
Jay, glad you made it. I love your avatar. Very cool.
-
On the same subject, if anyone knows how to animate a "Avitar" I'd appreciate it! I even know how I want it, the couple on the card eating the pasta meet in the middle and then (he) bites (her) head off! I know it's pretty gruesome! LOL. :o

Animated Gif's take awhile to do. I only did mine and it took quite awhile. I no longer have any animated gif software but you might find someone to help you out. Where is Snotdrops?

Another collector just pulled a color Chef girl. The same person also pulled the an ugly old lady and one with Jay Lynch half hiding. I don't have any pictures but that is the description I got.

No, just a collector that I deal with. I think they mean the Chef girl when they said ugly old woman but it also had a blurb on it, different then the rest of them.

Have you pulled anymore color sketches since your first one?

Maybe the ugly old woman is the Gadzooka schoolmarm? I realize it may be tough to get scans, but you've made me very curious!

Nope, You guys would be the first to know.
