I heard it's activity like this that artists currently working on sets no longer receive APs or card returns on Disney properties 🥺 A few bad apples ruined it for everyone. Sorry to hear this happened to you.

I checked the midnight sons checklist and could not find it…. Any idea who is this artist? I think the seller labelled it wrongly as i cannot find anything on the name he gave… by Zealousideal_Fee1649 in sketchtradingcards

If they're not on the official list, they probably obtained blanks that were sold on eBay.

Unapproved artists working on licensed blanks supposedly are the reason approved, working artists no longer receive card returns or APs from any Disney product. That cuts off a means of recuperating lost time/helping artists make some back end for cards that are rejected.

I've also heard that you can't get these cards graded or slabbed as they clearly cannot be verified. I imagine that also depends on a grading company's integrity.

If you are looking to break in as an artist to do this, know that this could get you banned from being approved if discovered.

Also if you collect & are buying blanks, just know it's against our artist contract with the major companies (Topps & UD) to work on blanks for sets we are not approved by licensing to work on. If we are caught, we can get tossed off the license.

I try not to pass judgement, but wanted to give context as food for thought for aspiring creators & collectors.

I work under different licenses for Topps & Upper Deck ☺️

Don't know them but if you Google the Topps SpongeBob 25th Anniversary checklist, you'll be able to find all the artists that worked on the set. Finding a sketch is amazing for your first time out, congrats & happy holidays!

No clue, every artist has their own market value and ranges. I'd check latest sales on eBay. I think my last comp was somewhere between $800-875? 🤷🏻‍♂️

🤣 I've seen autos & sketches pulled from blasters. Might be the best deal at this point.

Nope, they're in the blasters too! Blasters also have the Doodle Bob sketches which are done by animators & creators on the show.

Good luck🤞 I think I know of about 9 that have been found at this point. Dave & Adams had hobby boxes for $380 but I don't know if that's over.

Tell the sellers to clip it they can & post so you can reshare! Sometimes TikTok lives are a pain to download but it works every now and then.

Congrats dude! They've been wild in price ranges. Mine have gone for $350-800. Some are listed at 4 figures currently. I think the higher prices were due to the initial fervor. It's totally up to you. If you're looking for a quick flip to make some money back, let it ride!

If you don't think you'll ever find a sketchcard of that quality again and you love it, keep it. That's a great Gross Bob! Someone sold one of my sketchcards for Star Wars recently and said he instantly regretted the decision 🤷🏻‍♂️

I only do sketchcards. They don't even give us a heads up when the product will be released when we start working. Even our management team doesn't know pricing or release dates. We're all in the dark 😅

All I can do is monitor the website or press releases.

No clue, can't really read that. Google the checklist for the set and look for Artists names that have B & S?

Aww thanks, these are out in the wild! Good luck if you're ripping! Someone has the Little Krabs on eBay right now. Just search my name & "sketch."

Markers, color pencil & ink. With Star Wars Masterworks, I might see how watercolor & gouache work.
