Is anyone going to be breaking Heroes 2?

cfind · 06-18-2008, 05:50 PM

I know many got burned on the first series, but it sounds like Topps is trying to improve the situation by guaranteeing certain odds and collation. I've also read that there will be Dual Auto's along with several new signers.

I did notice though that one artist in particular has been commissioned to do over 1,000 sketches, so that kind of scares me...

Will it be worth it?
Does anyone know if Kristin Bell is signing or what sought after artists will be sketching?

I'm breaking 2 cases, I think that it will be way better than the first series. The 1000 sketches does scare me a little, but I've seen a few that he's done and they arent' that bad. I'm pretty sure that Kristen bell is not signing. Unless they reveal it really soon, I don't think so.

I'm in for 3 cases. I figure the cases are cheap enough I can't get burned too badly if TOPPS streak of disappointing non sports continues but this set sounds like it will begood. As for the big name sketch artists, Sean Pence just announced today that he's in for 103 sketches and posted scans of the first 27. Here's the first 9 of those he posted:

Those are probably some of the best sketch cards I have seen. If only the rest of the artists would put that much pride into their work I would have to consider buying some of this stuff.

I'm in for one case although I like the look of the Season One autograph cards and the assortment of Sketch Artists more than Season Two.

It's hard to say what the final sketch artist list will finally look like, info for season 2 is much tougher to come by than season 1. I think there may be more new sketch artists on this set than usual but even for the ones I know of only a small % have posted samples of their work so far. Here is the list of artists I have for season 2 but I'me sure it is incomplete.

Bryan Morton- 259
Chris Henderson- 231
Cynthia Cummens-103
Dan Cooney- 1050
Ingrid Hardy- 106
Jake Minor-103
Jamie Snell- 206
James Bukauskas-
Jason Sobol- 8 (returns only)
Jeff Chandler- 200
Jeremy Treece- 100 + 109
Jim Kyle- 206
John Watkins-Chow- 103
Katie Cook- 100
Kevin Graham- 103
Leah Mangue- 206
Marlin Shoop- 65
Matthew Minor- 129
Michael Duron- 206
Noah Albrecht-
Otto Dieffenbach- 206
Randy Siplon- 103
Sean Pence- 103

Oh, sometime after realease. lol

TOPPS still hasn't released the final list from season 1 although I made a complete list myself, mostly before release but I filled in a few holes from watching ebay when it went live. If it's not Star Wars TOPPS doesn't seem interested in updating info for non-sports, it's always a guessing game.

Do you have any idea who the double auto's will be of? It looks like the Sell sheet shows one of Claire/Peter-if I'm not going blind, that would be awesome!!

Theyre keeping the list of duals under wraps till they can confirm they can do them.

Theres also a shot at auto'd costume cards.
