Thanks for the link Steven. Tried to resist but ended up purchasing 3 boxes; as with the last mono set the temptation of 1 sketch per box proved to be irresistable. I just hope I don't end up regretting it . . . . |

Good luck with your pulls, Paul.
I may buy a couple of boxes in due course (but not from Strictly Ink ), but I'm disappointed that ALL the sketches are in black & white...unless I'm reading it wrong.  |

Far be it for me to doubt Strictly Ink's intentions, but I seem to remeber that the original issue of Big Screen Additions was due to be 2499 and was subsequently reduced to 1499. I also remember reading somewhere that was to give the best quality sketches possible.
Somewhere along the line sketches from Tom Hodges and RAM were not inserted and we never have seen a Dalek card from Nik, despite him having said that he had done some. I am wondering if this release is in fact where all of the "missing" cards will be. Well except the ones that Barrie auctions to maximise his profits of course.
It does indeed look as though the sketch cards will be Black and white to match the set.
On a plus note the box price seems to be fair compared to Trilogy Monochrome, so I may have to partake. Dalekfan, would you please e-mail me regarding sources other than directly from Strictly Ink as I do not want to use them if at all possible, I think after the recent auctions of non inserted sketch cards they deserve the fate of Inkworks and do not wish to support them directly. |

As I've said on the NSU Forum previously, IMHO it's potty doing a monochrome release for the Dalek's Big Screen outings because they were all about glorious colour!!!
Black and white packaging will cost Barrie a lot less, so I assume that's the reason. |

Its the same images right, just in monochrome? Cause there was so much colour in that set in the first place...

| I just hope there's something different in this set that wasn't in the last one. There were only 3 autos which were very easy to get and none were particulally limited, every box has a gold ink auto, of which there are already hundreds doing the rounds. The last lot of base cards were mono, they just had an orange flash across the bottom of them but maybe the pictures on the back will be in mono this time. To be honest, if it's no different to the previous set, I'd rather cut the rest out and just buy a numbered packet with a sketch in. |

I'll bet Barrie has been watching the ACEO and Inkworks tryout prices go through the roof and thought well if I put a few of those in my "collection", I can e-bay em later for mega bucks.
Sorry, no faith in the guy, Barrie that is not Mr Pence, who is a top notch artist. |

I've been trying to get some more info before commiting to any boxes for this set. Apparently there are a "few more suprises that will be announced over the coming weeks" so maybe a few different artists, I don't know. So many other companies are raising the bar with their inserts, it would be nice if the mono set had something else to offer other than the same autos, foils, and black and white base cards. At least every box has a sketch this time!!!
At least with the Big Screen set quite a few of the Martineck and Hack sketches were pack pulled so fingers crossed Jaseb!! |

With the release of the mono sets 999 sketches will we see another crash in value on these apart from the new artists?

Question concerning this mono set
What would you want to see sketch card wise that you haven't seen in the previous set... |

This is what dalekfan said in a post.

A Tom sketch helping the bank robbers from the start of earth invasion and a Tom catching the robbers from the end of the film would make a nice little set. How many sketches are you doing this time Don and do you know any of the other artists that will be on the set. |

It turns out that I'll be doing some cards for this set. I got my cards the other day. 50 for the set and a few blanks for myself.
I didn't think I'd be on the Mono set at all because of all of the comic book work I'm doing but it turns out that I can't say 'no' to Doctor Who. I only have 13 more to ink so I'll probably finish my cards today. I may have a few personal cards for sale that I drew as warm-up sketches this week.
Also, in what can only be described at shameless self-promotion, I'll be doing more covers for the IDW's Doctor Who reprint comics- Series 2 #'s 11-13. |

| I am also doing 50 and I have some blanks for myself as well. I know of 4 other artists but I cannot say who yet (no pun intended). I don't want to say and would rather barrie or they say it. You should be very happy with whom Barrie has chosen for this set... |

Here's a list of the artists give or take a couple, Barrie said it was okay to release them:
Nick Neocleous
Gary Ochiltree
Chris Henderson
Don Pedocini, Jr
Jason Davies
Sean Pence
Kevin Graham
Carolyn Edwards
Robert Aragon
Robert Hack
Andrew Fry
Potratz & Hai
Daniel Bergren
Sarah Lyons
Jed Raven
Leah Mangue
Ryan Orosco
Jim Kyle
Kyle Babbit
Jessica Hickman
Ingrid Hardy
Rich Molinelli
Amy Pronovost
James Macneil
Joe Corroney
Sarah Wilkinson
Sketches will be posted on the new SI website which should be in 1-2 weeks time. There are about 1100 sketches in total for this set. I don't think any artist will be doing more than 50 sketches each and that there shouldn't be any duplicate artists in a case, well Barrie's reckoning that 2 cases should virtually give you one of each artist on the set. |

Thanks for that info.
Presumably a couple of artists will be added after release who will do 1 or 2 each. |

| Probably Dalekfan, Len Bellinger's name was also mentioned as a possible. Potratz and Hai are great artists, I think Craig had a commision done by them. I've seen some of their work on Indiana Jones and LOTR and it's brilliant. I think Potratz draws the picture and Hai paints it. Sean Pence is another great artist with a big following. |

Not forgetting to mention the obligitory 100 or so extra sketch cards that will magically appear on e-bay, by the best artists of course. There is a amazing sketch up on Strictlys holding page at the moment that I have no doubt Barrie will be lucky enough to pull and sell off later for a tidy profit W*NKER!!

| If all the sketches do go in the boxes, and with only 1000 boxes being produced, this could actually be a really hot set. Many of those artists have a huge following in the US, also the autographs will be on the new mono cards as well. |
