Recent non-sport pick ups (through Aug 26th)

[weasel-king]

Only a handful this time around, as I've been saving up my funds for a couple of big purchases. Hopefully I should be able to show them off next week or so. So here goes:

First up is something from 2004 Benchwarmers--I have a small collection of Mary Riley stuff, and with me getting out of hockey cards I felt this was strangely appropriate. Doesn't matter who the other two gals are, I got it for the Riley:

The oldest sketch card I now own, from Marvel Legends in 1997. Sketch cards were so much simpler back then:

A few from Rittenhouse's Iron Man:

These are my 7th and 8th sketches of Rhino from MMII:

A Firestar from MM2:

A Human Torch:

A Scarecrow:

Another Penguin to add to the pot from DC Legacy:

Another Invisible Woman from Women of Marvel:

Ilsa toting the Grail just before her fatal fall:

An Jorge Garcia cut auto from Razor's Cut product recently released--goes well with the Evangeline Lilly I have:

And a Matthew Fox:

Hey, where do you get most of your sketch cards? I would love to get into collecting Ironman ones but just havent seen them around much. Oh yeah, here is the only one I own:

Very nice, from Marvel Legends!

To be honest I get almost all my sketch cards off eBay, as I break few boxes these days. The Iron Man ones above were from Rittenhouse's release from the movie. Unfortunately a lot of them have either a high starting bid or a high BIN. Of course, that's a generalization, as I wouldn't have gotten the three above if they were high.

I think the appeal of the Iron Man sketch cards from Rittenhouse is a little limited, I think. There are admittedly only a few characters of whom I've even seen sketch cards. Iron Man, obviously, Ironmonger, Tony Stark. Most sketches seem limited to mostly those characters, and some not even in the movie (sorry, I'm not up-to-speed on the comic villains!).

Also check out Marvel Masterpieces. Unfortunately a lot of times sellers list only the artist in the title and not the character, so you pretty much have to look at a lot of pics.

In any event, good luck!

Thank you very much for the info....I might have to try and track a couple down.
