Nar’s sketch cards out of 2007 Marvel Masterpieces are incredible. Hope he gets to do some more cards soon because the one card that he was able to do for 2012 Marvel Premeir just isn’t enough.
On figurines, the one that was glaringly missing was Corinthian Headliners. Extremely popular in Europe for futbol, the oversize-head-and-small-body figures had a pretty darn good run here between the big four sports. If I remember correctly they were around for four years. Still have a few in my collection.
Did Topps pack out my sketch cards of Josh Hamilton and Andre Either I sent back to them?

Wow…. just found this post. I’m honored my name is even on the list of “favorite artists”. I’m happy being placed behind the likes of Dick Perez, NAR!, Brian Kong, and Cat Staggs all day long! I’d love to see more art used in trading cards but of course I’m a little bit biased :)
