The 2016S1 / American as Apple
Pie in Your Face set is the twelfth GPK set to contain sketch cards numbering
1/1, one-of-a-kind, found within hobby boxes or retail boxes. Standard sketch
cards (retail exclusive), die-cut sketch cards (hobby and hobby collector edition
exclusive), 'folded' panoramic sketch cards (including dual artists sketch cardsa
first for any release; both found in 'jumbo' retail packs) and Loaded sketch cards,
four standard sketch cards found in value boxes. Artists providing sketch card
artwork for this release: Neil Camera, Mark Pingitore, Jeff Zapata, Layron DeJarnette,

Meeks. Besides the sketch cards located within the boxes, the artists were given
ten blank sketch card 'Returns' from the Topps company, and once approved, could
be kept, sold or auctioned; these sketch cards are often more highly detailed
and go for a higher price. |
