By my estimation, sketch cards have already been in 15+ sports sets.
2005 Topps Gallery
2008 Topps Update & Highlights
2009 Topps Hardwood basketball
& 2011 Gypsy Queen
just to name a few.

I'm going to try to invite a few artists to talk in this thread.
Share their experiences, and upcoming projects.

Please share your photos, and names of sets. Thanks!

Forgot which set (I'll have to pull it out to see the back):

Also, you didn't mention my favorite set of sketch cards, the Allen & Ginter Dick Perez minis. Sorry, don't have one to show off.

I do sketch cards, but I haven't worked on any sports sets yet.

Awww man, please share ... the industry reads these boards.

Hi,
My name is Don Pedicini Jr. and I have been working for Topps since 2009 on their MLB sketch cards and last year was my first year for the NFL sketch cards. I have done well over 500 cards for Topps. I also have created sketch cards on personal stock for hockey. I also have been creating original artwork on the blank fronts that go through in 1989 thru I think 1991 for baseball, hockey and football on Topps card stock. Here are some examples of my artwork. If you have any questions please ask...

Not Sports, but some of your work...

Sure is from the Clone Wars set that came out several years ago. The best thing about doing the sports sets are that you have to do less cards with better deadlines.

Very nice to see you post. What really needs to happen, is you need to get Eric (woundeduck) on your team of sketch artists! He is amazing!
