Thanks for the great news, Charlie! I have been excited to hear about the Summit. Your website is a great source of info. I hope you don’t mind but I’ve listed it on my website under the LINKS menu bar. I’d love to see your daughters art someday. Best of luck.

RJ – I’m eager to open a case myself. Hopefully I’ll get one of my cards back :) The Bo Jackson is the closest to my heart, as a born-n-bred Auburn Tiger fan! Can’t wait to see what you get your hands on when the cases come around!

As you can see… I’m really excited to open up an Inner Case :) I just can’t wait.

I got to see these cards first hand at the Summit this week. This will be the first time I will carry Sportskings in my store. I appreciate good art work. My daughter is a professional artist. The artwork in this set is awesome!

Thanks to Jared for making these sketches available. It says a lot about the product if the artist is confident about his work. I’m not quite sure about everyone else, but of all of the cards, I really want the Ivan Lendl card.

Just to be clear, I’m not saying my “lasagna” is better than that of other artists, just that I’ve cooked a much tastier batch for the Sportkings Series E than I made for the Goodwin Masterpieces. I have a long way to go to ever be compared to veteran sketch card artists in the biz. Series E reflects my personal best to date, that’s all.

@Jared Kelley – Thanks for doing the cards, I have grown fond of the SportKings releases and look forward to your inclusion. Thanks for adding your input to this thread and the product

the artist claiming his cards will be the best, it’s like a chef forcing his lasagna down your throat

Hey folks – I’ve never been a collector, but I have really gotten to enjoy the intensity that serious hobbyists bring to the table when it comes to expectations. I am new to Sportkings and didn’t experience the previous Series A-D releases, but as an artist/illustrator, I can honestly tell you that the Series E release will be insanely awesome. Sure the patches and signatures are great hits, but when Dr. Price told me what his plans were with the sketch card inclusions, I quickly wanted in. I know the Goodwin Masterpiece cards were well received and continue to do well on Ebay, but I am here to assure you that the Series E sketch cards will blow away the Goodwin artwork. It’s been a huge challenge to knock out so many high caliber sketch cards but trust me when I say, that it’s gonna be huge!!!! I can’t wait to see what some of you get as far as case hits. You won’t be disappointed, I promise. – JK

I will disagree with the other posters on this product. Granted, the past couple releases have left something to be desired, but… Some of these cards are really nice looking. Sportkings and ITG, always put out some nice products. That Mathewson auto is pristine, and those patches are nice. To be fair, I like the cards of “other” sports.

Here’s hoping this will be a fun product to open.
