Cynicalbuddha's Top 100 #50

Number 50. Wow the half way point!! Better do a kick ass card quick.  How about a 1/1 sketch  card of an old Brewers ace.  I picked this card up for a steal. To be honest Sheets was injured at the time, although I can't remember which time.  The artist is Chris Henderson.  He's done all sorts of stuff for Topps and other card companies. He does a lot of non sports stuff too, although I couldn't find a website he's got a facebook page, but who doesn't.

Wait what is that??!!??  That's not a sports card.  Nope it's a custom card done of one of my comic characters.  Way back in April I did a trade with Jeremy from No One's Going to Read this Blog. He hasn't posted in a while.  You can read my post here.  He sent me some goodies and said he like the my comics I had posted over at the 13 Tenets.  You can read the comic here.

Anyways I was really impressed it's a great card of the Atomic Hotdog.  I'd never actually colored my comics, I prefer to work in black and white, but I have to say it's spot on.   He's just an all beef frank with the power of the atom!  (Registered and trademarked).

This is the first and only 1/1 hit I ever got.  I haven't ripped a printing plate or a super red xfratolisious card ever, I do however own a few now.  And this was originally a redemption.  I put in my code and waited over half a year and got this bad boy.  The redemption didn't specify who I was going to get, just a 1/1 original sketch card.

The artist is Justin Chung.  He's done stuff for Topps and all sorts of non-sports card sets.  Check out his website here.

I posted about this card early last year when I got it.  You can read that oldie here. I especially love the one comment I got on that post.  Not really a Mets or Delgado fan, but a kick ass sketch card is hard to let go of.    I wonder how long it took Justin to illustrate this one?  Or how many he had to whip out for this set?

I can't remember what series this is from either, but I'm betting Series 1.

Anyway, #12 on the Top 100
