Postcards Series 9 Sketch Spoilers

[RawGoo]

I've had mine for several days already, but just getting to post now. For what I paid for an LE and RE set, I think I did fine. My pulls:

Nicely done sketches, but I don't recognize "Malbarko" from postcards; all I can think of is Maulboro.  What am I missing?

The possibility that Smokin' Joe was smokin' while doing these?   LOL, just kidding, Joe.

I don't recognize Malbarko, either, but that means little....

Maybe it's a super-rare Wonky sketch!

[Porkie]

here's mine that I got today. Really loving all the RE stickers, lots of detail, use of shape, shading, etc.. Debating whether to try and trade the cool Croc for another nice Ruffs, or maybe a Ruffs to get more variety.

and while I too got a Engstrom chicken - this fowl is red hot! and a keeper.

I think you did really well. Seems like your RE pulls were better than the LE ones. I'm wondering with the LE ones if the artists were just worn out doing the RE sets. I can't bring myself to roll the dice for an RE set after-the-fact though.

[BumChex]

I think you did real well based on all the same Engstrom and Simko sketches. It really sucks because of the same sketches. A guy that bought 3 sets shouldn't get the same sketch. Really?

[Fanatical_and_Sickly]

A guy that bought 3 sets shouldn't get the same sketch. Really?

LOL. think how I feel about my binder sketch dupes. Really?

[Porkie]

Yeah, the dupe thing has really killed it for me in general, unfortunately. I'm still in for Halloween though!

If this is a result of Topps policy, then they've managed to shoot themselves in the foot on this one...


Pat and I swapped commons (Engstrom Corn Flames for Simko England's Beast).

[Wgblood]

I like my RE sketches but got a beast and chicken for my LE sketches.

[Dr Popper]

Has anyone seen any RE sticker sketches by Dave Gross or Brent Engstrom?  I don't believe I've seen any from either artist.

[Jean Nutty]

I like my RE sketches but got a beast and chicken for my LE sketches.

Does the “but” in your statement mean you prefer your RE sketches to your LE sketches?

I expected the RE sketches to be of somewhat lower quality or less detail than the LE sketches, but from what I see so far, the two types seem to be about on par with each other.

When I receive my LE sketch (today?), if I’m not thrilled with it, I’ll fight buyers remorse and will try not to say, “I should have gotten one of those regular sketches!”

[Alexeirex]

Jean Nutty my postcards just came in! All the way from NJ to California, took one week!
Got all 6 bio cards and although no 5x7s or colors, got a Camera, Gross and Kirsht  - will post these later.
Nothing spectacular but decent - 2 nice RE sketches too, a Camera and a J Graham - have to agree with
others here that the REs are on par with the LE sketches....except for the 5x7s of course...

Yes it does.  I like the diversity of the RE sketches.  With the LE sketches so many of the Corn Flames & Englands Beast look exactly the same so I must admit I am a little disappointed with the two that I received.

It's so damn confusing when purchasing. I like the RE sketches I got but I'm Leary of ordering more.

[Duznt]

Here's mine. I'm happy with them, but would have preferred at least one of the new characters. Guess I'll head to ebay for that...

I’m heading to NJ in four weeks to see my family! It's been 8 years and I can't wait.

I pulled Brent’s chicken                                              

                  

If anyone wants to help me flip this bird, LMN. I'd like to trade for another PC 9 sketch. I’ll include two bio cards (Simko/Kirscht) if you need ‘em. Might consider including the stamps too.

Ok, ok... it was intended as a 'Maulboro'... but I got so involved in drawing the font that I forgot to spell it correctly (I dropped the 'U' somehow)... so half way through I realized what I did and improvised it into a new word that I thought still fit ('Mal' means 'bad' in French). I think my muse had been drinking that morning.

Thanks Smokin' I love your sketches! So you dropped a 'U' big deal. It makes it unique!

Here are my pulls - the LEs were all consecutively numbered,,,,

Got my three packs today and decided to be a sport and open them. Sigh. Two corn flames (Brent: I loved your Groundhog's Day work, but $52.99 each for two of these is pretty frustrating...).

I pulled a David Gross "Gloomy Bears" that will be going up on eBay tomorrow night unless someone wants it first. If you do, send me a PM with your best offer:

I did manage to pull all 6 bio cards, so that was something. But I have to say I will probably just be doing the Halloween PC's from here on out.  






P.S.  Postimage seems to be having problems. Loading super slow. Also I think people need to use the "expando" tag so we see thumbnails here or use thumbnails for links or something. Have a feeling it is the larger size photos (from iPhones for example) plus Postimage running slowly.

How does one use the expand tag??? I've covered the url to my image and clicked the expand image icon and it returned a box with a question mark...

did you delete the IMAGE tags when you did that? can't double them up in this case.

Brad ment to say "U" nique........

[Duznt]

I just tried that on mine. Still doesn't show up for me. Can you see my sketch cards in my recent post above?

Yes, they even expand out (a little).

I don’t think the expando function works with Postimages

(I believe expando only works with images that are uploaded to other websites)

[Alexeirex]

I'm not sure what you mean by deleting the image tag? Do I cover the url address (which is supplied by postimage) and click
the image icon, then click the expand icon?
JeanNutty indicated that it doesn't work with Postimage - I'll see if I can use an address/link from Photobucket perhaps....

So, that means this is a one-off?

An image tag is the coding that is added to both ends of the image link when you highlight the image link and click on the buttons

When you use the image button

Your image link gets these tags attached to both ends of the image link   [ img ]

When you use the expando button

Your image link gets these tags attached to both ends of the image link   [/expando]

[After looking at Duzn’t post above, he was able to get the expando function to work (somewhat – “mini-expando”) with a Postimage link]

Yeah, that's what I did - still doesn't work on the Postimage link....what am I doing wrong?! A

Alex, I added one of your images below in expando. To see the code, click on Quote.  It doesn't expand much however... that seems to be a postimage related behavior.

I like them just fine the way you posted them Alex. IMHO expando is just a cheap gimmick. Can't stand it.

Awwww, how can you say that... some of my favorite childhood memories are associated with cheap gimmicks like Pet Rocks, Chia Pets, Lawn Jarts, Hula Hoops, etc.

postimage blows. I stopped using it a long time ago, just non-stop frustration.
tinypic.com and others play really well with the image and expando tags.

It could be a lot better but its free. My hosting company charges a lot for storage so I have to use a 3rd party.
