Yes, that is what I tried to convey.  Here are the full card images so you can align them better if you would like.



I can't tell you how relieved I am that none of these were lost!

Great job, as always!  Thanks for putting these together for us.  The second one definitely looks more complete.  It's kind of like the pink sketch borders are overlays with 'windows' placed on top of one large sketch.

Yup, that was his intention. Notice how all borders are like that. It's perfect!

We have identified the people with the parts. Now trying to get them all is another sltory.

Check this out. Really cool puzzle reference.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Wacky-Packages-Series-6-Postcard-Smokin-Joe-Sketch-card-/130417789572?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e5d818a84
I don't understand the line I highlighted in blue.

You are bidding on the sketch card by Smokin Joe numbered #162 of 300, the corresponding numbered Certificate of Authenticy, numbered wrapper, Runts Bonus Card, 5 postcards and full set of artist Bio cards! This is a great sketch because it references the puzzle, technically not a puzzle piece but the sketch lets you know the puzzle existed!! Because 1/2 of the original shipment were lost this is technically a sketch card from Series 6 B, once the cards were lost Topps commisioned new sketches and changed the coloration on the sketch card, certificate and postcards, so this is in a way a limited Edition of 150!! All items are BRAND NEW MINT SHAPE, only removed briefly to take photos and then the certificate and all cards were placed into protective top loaders for protection! This series of postcards sold out in under 3 hours, this card features a sketch by Smokin Joe of CapN Moron.

edit - I love "coloration"

The sketch being auctioned is not a puzzle piece but it references a puzzle and actually references the exact puzzle piece that I own since it shows the only puzzle piece that isn't an odd random piece of his body that is odd to look at.  Would be cool if there is another one like the sketch being auctioned here were Capn is holding a piece that actually comprises the whole puzzle.

My guess is that this is simply a Capt Moron sketch by Smokin Joe that states there is a puzzle. It's not part of the puzzle but simply references it.

From what I read on this forum, he only did 1 puzzle which consisted of 4 pieces and none of them were lost in the postcard 6 missing batch. It also states that all 4 puzzle piece owners are identified, but I don't know if anyone is making an attempt to acquire all 4??

HEY!!!  Why is this colored purple?????  I thought all titles 151 and later were lost and recreated as pink border.  Has the lost shipment been found and some people got their hands on some?????

Ernie, it's just a poor photo. The card is pink and the logo is red, just as it should be for the later sets.

Whatever, red/pink, my point is that the auction referenced here is numbered 162 and I thought all sketches from 151 and later were "lost" and reissued in red/pink.....this surely isn't that!

I should have relied more on the logo color as that is clearer, the border color is wacked!

Was it stated before that it was exactly #'s 151 and up were lost?  I must have missed that.  I assumed it was a random # distribution and approximately 1/2 of the 300 were in the lost shipment.

I haven't paid too much attention to the #'s but I just checked all of my "yellow" sketches and they are all below 150 so you are probably right.

On the subject or the red and yellow batches, did Neil say that the sketches, wrappers, and postcards had the red color variation but the bio-sets and TS9 are unchanged?

Nice!  Looks like the TL and TR pieces go together perfectly and the BL and BR do too but top and bottom's don't seem to quite align, is that right?  BTW - I had also tried to get the "5th" piece from Quisp too when I was still on the prowl for completing the puzzle.  Glad it went to the right place.

I think his approach was to use the pink borders as a blocked window so you don't see the parts missing behind them.

OMG!!! That looks so frickin' AWESOME! I am so glad that we were able to work out a trade and you were able to put the puzzle together. All 4 pieces deserve to be together in someone's collection. And that fifth piece is chocolate fudge icing on the cake! I bet that everyone who views these pics will smile. Thanks to everyone involved in getting these pieces together. That was cool of everyone.
Also, a big ol' thanks to SMOKIN' JOE for creating these cool-ass sketch cards!

Look at the puzzle while viewing the actual postcard. It's a replica.

??  the 5th card is Capn holding the top left piece, not a card of the whole puzzle.  I would expect there might be other Capn cards showing him holding other pieces of the puzzle.

No I meant look at the 4 piece puzzle set and look at the postcard. The sketch puzzle is a sketch of the actual postcard. It's like a window where the pink borders are blocking what you can see on the sketch. Pretty creative!

I thought we all knew that back when I first posted all of the puzzle piece images, no?  I still think you should be on the lookout for CapnMoron with the hook going through each of the 4 puzzle pieces.  You have the top left one.....

Do we know for a fact that he did sketches with the hook going through all 4 puzzle pieces? I have only seen the one.

No, just pure speculation but I found it odd that the one you have specifically has the edges of the hat cut off just like the Top Left puzzle piece so it lead me to believe there was a reason behind that.
