zero. The originals go straight into the packs.

Oh sick. I was gonna ask if that was the plan but then thought I was retarded for thinking that

 

[Red Ninja]

I would think those would be mighty expensive, by trading card standards.

I would think those would be mighty expensive, by trading card standards.

we'll see...I'm curious to see myself how they sell. The trading card market as a whole is now inundated with super rare cards (many 1/1s in just about every set). So my 98 Gretzky limited to 100 that was initially in Beckett for $500 is now probably less than $20....But certain ones still hold a big premium. I've seen lots of sketch cards in non-sports sets that sell for very cheap, just a buck or two. But then a lot of those (some from Indiana Jones come to mind) clearly took just a couple minutes to draw and were just quick cartoonish sketches. And the artist would do 50 of the same image. So I don't think mine will fall into that category. It seems that there are a number of people now following them and that they could demand a decent premium on e-bay, I really don't know what to expect. My best guess is that they'll be on average about 1 in 50 boxes, and boxes retail for $200. So they won't be easy to get by any stretch, and the high price point will help keep the prices high. I mean I doubt someone will spend $150+ on a box and get a true 1/1 and be willing to part with it for $5 or $10.

alright, Fedex just dropped off my boxes! Can't explain how giddy I am, haha.

Since the set is officially released tomorrow, I will post all of the images that I haven't yet shown then.

3 of them have surfaced so far, though I imagine more have been pulled...Bart Paleschwezsxqi posted on twitter that he pulled this pencil Royce:

Then a Roy Nelson and BJ Penn popped up on ebay:

and I was just told the Glover Teixeira also surfaced:
