Maybe Leaf will hire Howard Shum for the next set to make you guys happy.

BINGO, you just hit the nail on the head!
Have someone of this caliber do a handful of them, 10-15 cards total, make collectors chase after a Shum sketch as opposed to open the pack and pray you don't get a Tempy sketch. Look at Mars Attacks for crying out loud! You have some that are definitely not as high quality as a Charles Hall sketch, but look what Charles Hall sketches bring! Collectors chase Charles Hall sketches or Sean Pence like baseball collectors are going after Trout. If you can't do the sketch card concept right, keep it out of the product!

I wonder what these artists get paid, I am going to try and do some of these, I know I can do provide better. We will see what Brian Gray says.

These are just awful. Plain and simple. I love a well-done sketch card, and I can also understand when an artist goes "outside the box" and does something a little different. These aren't outside the box. They're childish and barf worthy.

Shum is one of the worst sketch artists there is.

Topps puts him in EVERY sketch product and he must do upwards of 1000 sketches. He'll sketch the exact same thing 10-15 times and move onto the next scribble.

When you open a box you pray that you don't get 'Shum'd'




LOL! His work is ass... I've pulled Shum sketches before and wasn't exactly thrilled.


Bingo.

Bingo.

Didn't realize his sketches were crappy too, all I did was look at his website, he has some sweet things on there.

Oh yes, his "Artist Return" Sketches are great! Those are the ones that Topps sends back to the artist so they can sell them personally.

He puts a ton of effort into those.

I finally figured it out, she accidently got high on insecticide before doing all these scetches just like her buddy joe dirt before he went to the sketch artist.
