I actually did a couple interviews with two of my favorite sketch card artists (hobrecht was the first,) and I'll be posting them shortly. There pretty interesting and I hope you check back to take a quick read... I was planning on posting them earlier, but unfortunately ran into some computer issues. The sketch cards are great, but I was definitely unhappy with the way in which the situation was run by topps. Anyways, thanks for the comment! Thanks for the comment Robert.

The sketch cards are great, but I was definitely unhappy with the way in which the situation was run by topps.

Anyways, thanks for the comment!

Each artist was sent a list of players...etc to draw. They were commissioned to do different numbers each and were rewarded above the comission with return cards they were free to do with as they please. These sketch cards in my humble opinion are true 1 of 1's because they are original art and not copies of the art. Since Holbrecht was mentioned in the article I have a few facts that I found in research. only 100 of his cards were released in packs and another 100 were redemptions...so only 200 exist (2 belong to me, so far). I'm a huge fan of sketch cards from this set as well as many other sport and non-sport sets, and look forward to collecting more in the future.
