Matt from Topps writes: We have several cool components to the LOTR Masterpieces set, an all artwork LOTR set, that we think people should hear about:
- Original, newly commissioned artwork ‹28 pieces in total‹ from top
illustrators Drew Struzan, John Alvin and Mark Chiarello
- 2 sketch cards per box in the hobby guaranteed. We can provide some early artwork that¹s already come in for this, as well.
- An etch-foil 6 card set by artist Rafael Kayanan, one of the most popular sketch artists from the LOTR Evolution set. We can provide the artwork for this, as well. The original artwork used to create these cards will also be available in the hobby as 6 1/1 exclusives.
- 3 levels of parallels to our Foil Art cards in the hobby, two of which are sequentially numbered, and 1 of which are also 1/1s.
Also, another part of the story, or perhaps a separate story all to itself, is a great LOTR fan site that is devoted solely to LOTR sketch cards. It is run by a guy named Chris Edwards and the address is lotrsketchcards.com. It features tons of scans from our past Evolution set, and is featuring early artwork that we are able to share from this new set, as well.
