Totally dependent on the quality of the sketch, the player, and if anyone else happens to be looking for such a card. Could be anywhere from $10-200.

I'll claim a little knowledge -

I assume you mean a 2009 Topps sketch card?
(There are some alternate sets worth different amounts).

The primary cost evaluation is artist, not always player.
There are some artists that I wouldn't even touch a Pujols for $15 because they are so bad, or use media that doesn't interest me.

But I'd pick up the WORST player by Diaz or Horbrecht (sp?) for at least $30.

So yes, if you have a good artist PLUS a good player = sky the limits.

I want some to include in my collection but only pack pulled. I just can't trust these from the secondary market

As mentioned above, depends on:

- the artist
- the player / card subject
- full color vs B&W
- overall quality

uh, why?

There are some that are backdoored
some that are "artist proof" and commissioned that were never in packs
there are fake where someone get a weak one and erases/ works over original drawing.
There are the "you sketch it" ones
I doubt most that you see on eBay were ever in packs.

Its like a nice patch card were you know its not fake since you pulled it.

It doesn't matter to me if they are pack pulled as long as the artist is good. I have a Hobrecht Babe Ruth that he did on the You Sketch it card. I contacted him and he is doing a Clemente for me right now. For $40 bucks his art is well worth it. I am now getting a Stargell done.
