Sketch cards?!

[stivsolovienna]

hi,

i have not been away from the hobby but due to work/health issues i havent been able to participate as before during the last months...i just browsed ebay and the boards for a couple hours and what i keep seeing all the time is sketch cards?! I have heard about it from the non-sport world but to me it is new that they are that popular (and expensive) in the sport-world as well.

anyone can explain the concept to me and what do you guys think, is it a "trend" or will it last?

thanks
herbert

I don't know much about them also... I thought Panini had the rookies do sketch cards this year.... But what they came in.... You got me!?

Not sure if they do this in hockey, but Topps Museum Baseball from this past year has hand drawn sketch cards and they are quite nice.
