Indiana Jones "sketch" trading cards

The new Indiana Jones Heritage trading cards from Topps also include sketch cards from a huge variety of artists. Patrick Schoenmaker posted his sketch cards at his blog and they're fantastic. There's apparently one sketch card in every 54 packs, but I wish all of the cards in the set were sketch cards. Link to Schoenmaker's site, Link to Topps (via Drawn!)

UPDATE: Lucasfilm's Bonnie Burton writes, "On Starwars.com, I've been interviewing the artists who are making these great Indy Sketch cards." Link

Awesome! Just in time for the new movie coming out in May.
We are having an Indiani Jones themed party in May and this will make a great prize!

Anyone ever try to paper mache a giant beachball?
(We want to make the famous giant boulder that chases Indy in the first movie)
Cool - thanks!

One of my good friends, Melissa, is a member of the local Browncoats here in Boston. (The Browncoats are the fan-group interested in Firefly)

Melissa and a few other folks make hand-made trading cards, she's also into crafty stuff.

Anyhoo, her trading cards are often Firefly based in there content. Which is what initially got me aware of the hand-made trading card phenomena.

Gotta say, hand-made trading cards are cool. I think Topps here is just capitalizing on that concept. These look cool because they look less commercial, more hand-made.

(Oh, and I agree, the whole set would've been cooler if it was all sketches. That I would consider owning, the set as it is I'll pass on.)

The art reminds me a lot of The Curse of Monkey Island for some reason. A new Indy game in that art style (or a new Monkey Island title) would be fantastic.
