The first of just 31 Sketch Cards hand-drawn by three World Wrestling Entertainment superstars from the newly released 2009 Topps WWE set has hit the eBay auction block — and the ultra-rare cards will have an added surprise in store for those who find them.
It’s a simple, but effective bonus — one that Sketch Card makers in the non-sports realm as well as other areas might consider.
What is it?
Each card will be autographed on the back by the performer/artist.
The first card to hit the block is drawn by WWE Diva Eve Torres and is one of just four she drew for inclusion in hobby packs. (Read more about the cards here.)
The Nebraska-based seller is taking offers on the card, which was found in a case break and appears to be drawn with colored pencils. The artwork also has a Buy it Now price of $2,000.
Will it sell at that price? Perhaps not, but the Sketch Cards of accomplished wrestler and former Andy Kaufman foe Jerry “The King” Lawler just might rival that.
Once, of course, they are found …

Thanks for the article regarding my sketch card…I had a fairly good case also including 3 dual autos of Carlito/Primo, DiBiases’, Rhodes, and 4 singles of Ross, Anderson, Steamboat and Bourne and a Rey Mysterio Mat Auto. In the last box the sketch was in I believe it was a hot box since I got several Black and Gold bordered cards and Gold Legends of the Ring cards.
