Since mine are all extras or of characters I don't want, I'd let them go for a fair price. Let me know.

Well I just got this set today and man do these cards SUCK! The artwork on most of the cards is horrible. Out of the 90 card base set, I liked only 20. The rest are trash. The only subset I liked was the Adams. The sketch cards I've seen on Ebay are even worse! They look like elementary school kids drew them.

I don't think this set looks as bad as people are describing. I agree that any set with the Masterpiece name on it should be new work and not stuff that has previously seen print.
This is not as satisfying a set as prior Masterwork sets, but is not anywhere near as substandard as some have been posting.

I only have one box, but I am pretty sure I got an extra Rogue. I'll bring it up when I see you and Tony in the New Year.

These 2 sets will ALWAYS be what the Masterpieces line is compared to. The way they should be. BUT, a really tough act to follow......... 
BTW, Welcome to the craziness around here that is our home....... ;-)

Just got done opening four boxes that I had ordered and I think ther might be a slight "pattern" as to how the sketch cards are packed. Out of all four boxes, all four sketch cards came from the left side of the boxes. Not in the exact same spot each time but in different layers and all on the left side.

Well KK, I just put that theory to the test by buying that entire row in a new box I watched being opened. Nope. No sketch card.......
