Too cool that so many people are scoring sketches from retail packs.  Seems like the reverse of past series where collector's boxes were loaded with sketches!

I went to two Targets to find fat packs cause that's where I got mine from.

Tomorrow I'll hit up a few more for sure.

Where are the '00 chase cards being found ?

That took a minute or two  :-\

my point being that someone posted that they pulled NO Sketches after opening 3 cases...Topps was real stingy on the sketches for this series!!should have been at least 2-3 per case....with all the artiest working on this series...

Joe,
I opened 3 cases and only got 3 shaped sketches. Also 2 dual sketch. I figured with the amount that I saw on Facebook I would have got more.

  Sorry, my sarcasm didn't come through very well. I was agreeing with you, as in, that took WAY too long to pull a sketch. Sorry if I offended you, wasn't my intention.  :D

Just made a long overdue update to the Master List - to include all the artists!

there was only one title that I couldn't find a definitive autograph for - Ebayer Aspirin
I'm thinking Smokin' Joe. Any one know for sure?

Scot, as always, your grouping is awe inspiring!  So great to see all the variations in one place.  I'm close on my 'Fractured' grouping but did have to pass on the Gold.  I have yet to score an auto card but I did score the cyan printing plate!

Scot, I just checked and the blank back went for $105.15!  Who knew blank backs could sell so high?  The two the Topps vault has left are bin at $12!

Just curious to know, how difficult are Artist Autograph cards to find this time around.  I've been hunting for one of mine but no luck yet.  Topps had each artist sign 25 (compared to 15 for WP 2015 and 5 for MLB) so I thought there'd be a glut of them this time!

Joe, the autographs aren't too terribly hard to come by. There are about 25 on eBay right now but I have only seen them for 7 different artists so for. Neil Camera, Fred Wheaton, Brent Engstrom, Smokin' Joe, David Gross, Joe Simko and Junghwa Im. So this was 25 autograph cards for each title painted, correct? Maybe I am just seeing the ones for people who had higher number of titles in this set.

Scot, cool I'll just have to keep hunting.  Yes, there were 25 for each title which is by far the most for any Wacky set.  I guess they were split up between collector's boxes and retail and I imagine it's the retail ones that still need to be found.

I don't think I worded my post appropriately. Yes, I'm VERY happy with this pull!!! I was shocked to find it! I didn't mean to sound unhappy with it.

Jeff, very cool card and a nice pull from a retail pack! 

Is anyone on the forum trying to complete a set of Artist Autograph cards or are most just getting one either as an example or part of a Grouping?

What titles do you like? I think this is a great one. I just noticed the 9 pin connector on top.

In anguish, did this fellow give himself a scar? Maybe his partial smile is the money he's saved losing the auction?
