Yes they were one per case with Season 1 but I think the one per box with the comic series may have gotten some people's hopes up for better odds with this one. From a collector's standpoint it means having fewer sketches but with longer odds even the lower quality sketches have a higher value than 99% of the sketch per box sketches.

The last sketch I saw sell for less than $100 was a few months ago... otherwise there's a few holdouts on Ebay who have kept their S1 sketches at the same price and anyone who had OBO probably just gave up.

I got mine for $175 and even that was a bargain at the time.

I just reluctantly sold my season 1 sketch for $400. I'm sure I'll regret it later lol.

That was a badass sketch for being mostly black and white, what made you wanna let it go?

Money of course lol.

No, just freeing up some stuff to purchase Season 2.

Excellent news.

Reedus and DeMunn make S2 a winner.

Imagine if they add Andrew Lincoln? This could be the set of the year in terms of collectability and resale. Out of any card set. I'm really excited for this set.

[BengalsJayhawks]

This is definitely stacking up to be one hell of a set. I hope they do add Andrew Lincoln & Sarah Wayne Callies as well. Id just like to have all the main characters. Im not sure of the actresses name but Maggie would be nice as well.

[Brobocop]

Reedus is A5 and Lintz is A7 for those keeping track at home.

Lauren Cohan. And yes please!


I haven't thought about this until now, but I just got the slight feeling that they may try to stretch one or both of them out to be introduced in the 3rd season card set. I mean, after those two, they are running low on new main attraction signers (Andrea, Carol, then Michonne/new characters which I know nothing about because I don't follow the comics and don't want the show spoiled for me). I may be way off base and wouldn't at all mind being wrong on that, but I thought it might be a possibility because of how well received the card set has been.

[SerialKilnWalkr]

If those two are indeed a5 and a7. I can see Lincoln, Callies, or Bernthal starting or anchoring the auto set.

[Brobocop]

I'm just going by what the picture file names are off their website. I would buy it though that there are going to be Callies and Lincoln autos in this. Maybe Holden but I think this is a company that isn't trying to hold back, they just try their hardest at all times. I mean they didn't hold back a single name on the big five from Big Bang Theory for a future release, so why do it now? If they are available for autos and willing I'm sure there are going after them.

[The Madbacker]

I'm figuring 4 more signers to be announced with each person having 2 autos like Season 1.

Did you by chance do a case of series one? If so do you get any duplicate autos in the sense that you got both autos of the same actor or did you get a good variation of all the actors?

WD S1 had great collation. You may get two of the same actor's auto but not the same exact one. At least I didn't and I broke about 10 cases.

Now other Crypto products I can't say the same about regarding collation.

[SerialKilnWalkr]

Id also figure 9 total signers two autos each like s1 as madbacker stated but it would be nice of they threw in missing a3 & a4 from s1. I don't think they will do 18 individual signers but all the other Cryptozoic products have had everyone sign if im not mistaken. So maybe there is some hope they went that way for this season.

What would everyone think about a3 & a4 be inserted in s2 as a s1 auto variation in the s2 set?

[The Madbacker]

More sketches posted, quality looks to be outstanding across the board. That Shane by Jack Redd is what wet (card) dreams are made of.

[SerialKilnWalkr]

Can't wait for this stuff, are they adding these cards as they get them back or what? They add a bit of info randomly here and there, why not add all the signers at once?

They're waiting to get the autos in hand to provide accurate info.

[SerialKilnWalkr]

If they have 5 out of the 9 signers in hand I am not holding my breath for an October release.

[Brobocop]

They added more sketches to their page, so far all of them look pretty great. I can't wait for this to come out already.

Looks like there will be a lot more character sketches for me to chase (high quality ones at that). This keeps getting better and better.
