So, where are the color sketches hiding?

[RawGoo]

Nothing new on ebay. I don't care if they were available for sale. I'm just curious as to who has them.

I think that a lot of non-sports card collectors bought boxes, and are just happy with the sketches they got, and so are not "ebaying" them.  I didn't buy a tremendous amount of boxes, but if it weren't for my participation in the Wacky forums, you'd be wondering about two more color sketches.  

Of course, I'd still like to know who got the "This Crud's for You" color sketch

I guess to find out one would have to purchase some of those $100+ unopened boxes on ebay (which I would absolutely not do - I don't need any more B&W Aquax sketches at this point!)

You never know, you could get a Spazzles!!

as many of us that bought in QTY know the odds are not in our favor to be buying $100 boxes.

I just got an email from Leslie and she just opened 5 boxes that she paid $110 each for from the Socaldad2be guy and got a colored penguin. On one hand that's total luck and on the other she has already paid about $1200 for boxes to get one color. I guess it all works out.

FYI - Leslie is planning to sell her color sketches. I just posted this in the wacky sales thread.

Did she just want the challenge of getting them?

It could be financial. I really don't know for sure but it doesn't sound like she wants to just dump them either. Read the notes in the for sale thread.

She emailed me and told me the same.  Seems odd to spend all that money being the top bidder and driving up prices and now selling as she is destined to take some big losses.

I see the colored cow sketch is up for auction.

Guesses on where it will sell?  I would think $1,000.00 + but the craze has waned somewhat so maybe we'll be surprised.

Very hard to tell. I would guess probably around 1G too. Guess it depends on the buyer and how much that picture is liked.

As Rob says, the craze may have waned somewhat, but who knows, Leslie could decide she wants it, which could push this up to the $1500 range.  Also, considering how tough the b&w Bubble Yuk sketch was, some collectors might pursue this as an alternative.

I was say as far as titles go even though it's not a vintage character it's a pretty desirable one to have, and the fact that the b&w version is so rare like Pat pointed out makes it a nice alternative for someone looking to "kill 2 birds with 1 stone".
