Sketchcard process?

Been in comics forever, but don't get the cards.
Help!
Is there a card made by some company that everyone uses?
Does it have to be famous people that draw them?
Where or how do you sell them....ebay..here? what?
Sorry, sure I sound retarded, looking to make a few bucks is all.

Hey wassup,

So getting back into the board...and a question i can answer!

A standard sketchcard is 2.5x3.5 inches...bluelinepro and a couple of other companies provided blue traced versions that create a kind of 'frame' for the piece.

You don't necessarily have to be a professional to sell them, but it helps to know what people like. A friend of mine expected to sell her first sketch cards for like 30 bucks. Keep it realistic, but ebay is a good place to sell too.

Ive been doing cards for some of the major distributors for awhile, my latest was the Voltron sketch series. They completely sold out before distribution...so the cards are definitely pricey.

Hope that helps, and if you got more questions let me know!

Hey there, let me see if I can help you with some of your questions.

Some artists have their own cards made with backs printed out by a professional printing company so they can draw on and sell these cards. When you work for an actual card company who hire's artists, they provide you with the blank cards to draw on in which you send back once completed. Those cards are pack inserted.

What your own sketch card sells for that you produced on your own card stock is totally dependant on how well your known and the quality of the art. Some artists who sell PSC (Personal Sketch Cards) get a lot of money for their cards while other artists struggle to sell theirs. eBay is a great place to try to sell as it is a worldwide market.
