Population 1/1 sketch cards when? topps is doing it with Star Wars/Marvel all the time. Decipher, Cryptozoic, Rittenhouse, Breygent & even early Inkworks. Why is pokemon against one of a kind artworks hand illustrated? This would compel me to start collecting modern easy.

Currently the manually drawn Pokémon cards (Never printed) are mostly sold by Chinese dealers on eBay whom cannot be trusted. Since they're likely to replicate sketches which aren't supposed to have direct copies. CZX does it and sells a single booster pack for $500 dollars, 5finity, Lord of the Rings Masterpieces 1 / Masterpieces 2 & evolutions.

It's just a logical progression for Pokémon at this stage. People on etsy will do commission fee of requested characters. All Pokémon has is secret insert rares that're 1/1000 boosters but still have a thousand printed copies in circulation. That's rare to you people? I don't covet that, it's mass produced.

Give me my sketch cards!
Pic related, is a $700 flattering rendition of the Balrog i destroyed and threw away because i was struggling with my demons. It was the most nearby looking satanic thing, i have some remorse over him and miss it dearly. But the computerized image lives on!
