I did say i would not buy any more cards for myself but when i break my cases I think I may have to keep a few for myself you may have converted me back to a collector which is never good for business  But I do love the sketches i have seen so far |

I would guess that the odds are probably around 1:20 so you would get 1 maybe 2 per box I can't imagine it being 1:12 packs but we can live in hope
we need someone here to get a box and read the odds And post the sketch level odds from a pack |

Well when you think about it, Topps said this would be the smallest run of LOTR cards ever.
BUT, if the sketch cards were 1:12 that would mean that based on the 15,000 sketch card estimate that there would only be around 1000 cases....which would definetly be the lowest run for Topps but it almost seems to low. I agree that we will see somewhere around 1:20 which would mean that 2 boxes per case (approx.) would have two sketch cards.
Although 1:12 would be spectacular lol and it would have me buying a couple extra boxes

Yes CC the 'tea' offer was for you - but now you mention it I'll up the offering to Brunch and tea... Brunch is one of mine and Mark's (webmaster) specialities, it's definitely a 2 person job otherwise the eggs aren't right. You got down to Islington in London? Or do you mean New Islington in Manchester? My best friend lives in London's original Islington  (not a card collector, but lovely all the same), it's really one of those places that's undergoing regeneration still - did you survive the tube ok? (I was in London today - so the tube is all to close to my memory LOL) This is really interesting news about the 2 sketch box... but don't let's get too excited yet folks, we have seen instances of a second insert in boxes that does not reflect the normal odds... but you never know eh? Who's JKun? |

Good news....1:14 Most boxes will have TWO cards...some will only have one |

Fortunately, I have a friend who lives there who was able to show me around. Yes, rode the Tube EVERYWHERE - it's amazing how easy it is to get around that way. CC  |

Thanks for letting us know the odds Cat! Let's hope my 2 boxes will have those (hopefully) promised 2 sketches. Any combination of sketches by Cynthia, yourself and Rafael Kayanan will be perfect |

Care to split a case, Kate? I do hope that those odds hold - Topps have not really had problems with dud boxes (PoAU ) so fingers crossed that they keep up their good work |

Well after swearing off Topps....opps I did it again. I liked some of the sketches so much I took the plunge and bought some Evolution. Then when I saw the sketch ratio I added some more  Oh well hopefully I will pull some I like I have pretty good luck with anything that is not HP  I can't believe we haven't seen any sketches hit  yet. Please post some links if anyone sees them start surfacing. |
