I just checked out the Breygent web site and they've listed the names of the artists that will doing the Sketch Art Cards™.

Look for Sketch Art Cards™ by these renowned artists:

    * Michael Kraiger
    * Chris Henderson
    * Jessica Hickman
    * Darren Auck
    * Warren Martineck
    * Brian Kong
    * Brian Rosenberger
    * Tom Hodges
    * Cat Staggs
    * Darla Ecklund
    * John Czop
    * Chuck Zsolnai
    * Ray Dillon
    * Brent Engstrom
    * Josh Ross
    * Mark Winters
    * Renae De Liz
    * Rich A. Molinelli
    * Jeff Chandler

The site still didn't have a release date posted, but this set sounds like it will be a real winner with this list of artists.

Awesome sketches, thanks for letting us know Becks! I love the Jessica Hickman and Warren Martineck Wicked Witch sketches, the Withc was my favourite character when I was little.

Yes, I was a twisted child

[HPfamily]

HOW COOL!!! My fave is Warren!!! I like that the OZ logo is offset instead of in the center of the card allowing the artist a clear area to draw!! 

[grecopa]

Martineck flying witch is my favorite!  But wow, I really think they're all good. 

[tialessa]

With the samples so far, my fave is the Scarecrow card

Also really like Warren's twister at the farm.

LOVE the witch cards!

[emmafan]

Looks like a GREAT set all around!!

[bosko666]

Yeah, the sketch cards are great!

I also like the twister on the farm sketch, very simple, but yet very cool.

I also like chuck's guard at the palace door(one in green)

So far, this set looks great. The sample sketches look wonderful. I love Brent Engstrom flying monkey sketch. I will definitely be searching for one similar to it down the road. I hope the other sketches that they didn't show also retain this quality 

I've never bought a Breygent product so perhaps someone who did could help. Since the sell sheet says one auto and one sketch card per box, how are the costumes and props inserted? Are they can extra insert besides the auto and sketch?

[tialessa]

Dude!  They posted more sketches within the past couple of days!  When I looked it was Jessica, Rich, and Warren's sketches only.

LOVE the Glinda!

My daughter just looked at the sketches with me and said, "They color really good!"   Now she's begging me to buy a box.

I'm not sure how to take this, but Tom Breyer posted on another forum these statements in regards to the Dress :

The certificate and paper work will be listed on our web site soon.The dress was not cut up just a piece was taken from the dress when it was sold at auction and the dress was restored. thank you Tom

THERE ARE 8 NUMBERED CARDS ON THIS RARE PIECE.

So, does that mean that there are only 8 Dress Costume cards? Eight. Wow.

And how does one "restore" a dress after a chunk's been taken out? Obviously I know nothing about sewing

[HPfamily]

EIGHT!!!!  :'( :'( :'(

As much as I like those rare cards, that one will be impossible!

[EmmasOneandOnly]

I'm sad to hear there will only be eight But at least this is the first card company interested in perserving a costume this old instead of cutting it up for all of us to get a piece.

[beckham1]

It really doesn't bother me that costumes or old jerseys (for sports cards) get "cut up" and put into cards.  IMO it gives so many other people the opportunity to own a piece of something special too them.

I love my Babe Ruth jersey card.  From my perspective why can't 2,000 people enjoy a piece of Babe Ruth instead of just one?

I know some disagree strongly, I wish they would have cut up the whole dress and everyone could have one

[Trey]

I think ALL the sketchcards look nice, there is not one up there at the moment that I wouldnt love to have!

I cant believe how rare the dress card will be... :'( oh well at least there will be 8 out there, you would have to be pretty lucky to pull one of those 

[TOMUNIQUE]

8 dress prop cards is better then 0.....
12 witches hat costume cards very rare also
20 Judy Garland cut signature cards
130 Jack Haley cut signature cards
Munchkin autograph still to be announced
Lions hair prop card or Straw prop card per case
Brick prop card 2 per case 2 different images
1 sketch card per box (very talented artists)
6 chase cards min. per box
a lot of the above items were not easy to obtain..more to be announced.
thank you tom breygent marketing

[HPfamily]

 

Thanks Tom!!!

[Bryanjs14]

I have to agree.
I heard about there only being 20 Judy Garland signature cards a little while back, and for about 30 seconds I frowned about it, but then I remembered that this is the only set (and will most likely be the only set) ever to even offer something as rare and treasured as that.

Same goes for the Witch's hat and Garland dress cards. 8 might not seem like alot, but when you think about it, the closest you ever came to seeing, much less owning any piece of this dress was paying admission into a muesuem before this set.

The fact that Breygent was even able to get their hands on those items is just amazing.

And think about it. Not sure how many boxes per case, but lets say 10. You'll be getting (if the early odds hold up) 10 autographs, 10 sketch cards, either a Lions hair or Scarecrow straw prop card, and 2 yellow brick cards for a total of 23 premium inserts per case, not to mention Tom saying there are 6 chase per box. Plus there is always that illusive chance of getting a case with one of the 170 very rare premium inserts. Now, I do not know what the case numbers were on John Wayne, or the Three Stooges (maybe someone can fill me in) but I cannot imagine that there were more than lets just say 1000 cases. even if that is the case with this set, that means that 1:5 cases (approx.) could have one of those really really rare cards.

I know a lot of people just spent a LOT of money on evolution, and no one can even deny that they weren't PREYING for a Kayanan in their case...and the odds on him were about 1:6 cases!
