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.

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
