Yes, it's very strange but I can't imagine it's intentional.  It must be some weird sorting error on the part of the packer.  It's kind of like a missing sketch in an Old's box but magnified 100 fold.  I wonder if at some point there will be cases full of just Wacky Backs and Alternate Art cards.

both matt and I ordered 7 cases neither of us received a gold Lost Wacky or a special front or back card.  Downtown breaks did 15 cases and didn't receive any either.  I though can not see what opening a case against Topps will do because they are only stated Odds, not guaranteed odds.

Question for this board:

Has anyone seen Auto cards with Both Back Variations?  They only make 15 of each and I want to know if all 15 have the same back.

Andrew

The pencil sketches definitely have both backs for the same title.

I checked the seven artist auto cards I got above #27, and all have the coupon/billboard backs.  The four I have with lower numbers all have the orange border Mini Cleats puzzle back.

Ditto for Artist's autos, they come in both backs.  I guess one must be slightly rarer than the other since there is an odd number of each.

Thanks. Good info. If anyone has a Skitzles Auto with Puzzle back or  Skitzles Pencil Sketch with Coupon back please let me know.

Really nice group of sketches spanning many artists and titles. I especially like the ZILLA WAFERS by Smokin' Joe.

I'm partial to the Scream of Wheat.  It's a title that's rarely been sketched.  Is it by Steven Potter?

I had to look up one of his returns on ebay to check what his signature looks like, and yes, the Scream of Wheat is by Steve Potter.  It's very nicely done, looks like color pencil.  He also did the four panel Wacky wrapper, which looks like marker, and the Brute 88.

Definitely a good mix of artists!

How does that work with the red wrapper sketch card set of 4? You bought a bunch of cases and lucked out getting all 4 parts?

All four cards are in one pack, held in a penny sleeve. It's what Topps is calling a "loaded" pack.
I'm guessing there's around 50 of them total. I posted mine on the previous page.

that is a really nice one

there is a Pupsi as well.
I think every artist did 3, which would fit the odds pretty nicely, so should be one more out there.
about 54-ish total 4-panels. I've seen 28 so far

Patrick, I think you nailed it because here's a third (and it's awesome)!

The last couple of 4 card sketches posted here have been really great - makes buying a few boxes worth it!

quote author=Joe G.

             


Maybe this has been covered, but it appears that some of the borders are missing. Are they different than regular sketches and only have borders on 2 sides of each card?

If you look close Brent has actually used white out to cover those border edges to make for a seamless puzzle.

I was able to get the Anvil and Fright Castle. I just love the way Engstrom did these with the white out and so much detail. Just beautiful sketches. The only thing that kind of stinks is the gaps when you put them in your binder.

that's a typo in the auction - should be Jason Chalker

there is also a new Cereal 4-panel that is missing panel #3. I asked CardGary about it, and the Loaded pack only had 3 cards. Bummer.
