I AM a dealer, cards inc are wholesale, there retail arm is "Thecollectorzone" thats the price I have to pay in the UK via the approved distributor. The problems with Cards Inc are to vast to even talk about suficed to say they piss me and many others off more often than not.

Buy from a local friendly dealer who's buying considerably more than you. |

lol I have yet to meet a person who is both a dealer and friendly... these things seem incompatible for the most part. I can get them cheaper as I say but I have to buy several cases and I am unwilling to do that when the majority of my customers tell me they don't want another lotr set. I'm still waiting on 16 cases of Dr Who and CSI which may now not happen... (don't even get me started..)

The numbers I've seen are mostly 100 - 250 per artist.
Marleyeds is working on putting together a Masterpieces section at lotrsketchcards.com but it's not finished yet...

I do not think Howe or Lee will be sketching for this set...instead their artwork will be used as some of the base cards in the set, I noticed on the site a couple of their paintings were actually sample base cards...just my thoughts, it would be cool if they did sketch though

Does anyone know why both the P1 & P2 promo cards for Masterpieces are identical except for the numbers? Why would Topps do such a stupid thing, I mean its not as thought they do not have enough images to pick from? I am not happy at all seeing the placement of the logo now in the chin area after seeing the sample sketch cards made available. First we have the logo in the forehead from Evolution and now the chin in Masterpieces. Doesn't anyone at Topps have any idea of artistic presence? Gees!  |

Ooooooh, that Staggs Aragorn looks fantastic! This just isn't fair. I was fully resolved to not buy any boxes, but now...  |

Nice work by the 3 Artists who have sketch cards posted on www.lotrsketchcards.com!! I am so happy to see that the Artists are doing the best they can to minimize the problem area with the Topps Masterpieces logo! |

Oh my gosh! Check out the Joe Corroney mini portraits! No problem with the logo on those, and I love his signature on the side. |
