Flashing Back To The Cryptozoic Archer Box Break That Started It All

I stay ready to snatch up 1/1 Archer Sketch cards from the Cryptozoic release of a decade plus ago. They truly don't appear often, and recent sales data shows they are going up in price. Considering the wax dried up and there are only but so many to begin with (about 3600 in total from what I've read) that is not all that surprising a fact. I am just fortunate they were affordable for as long as they were. A bunch recently hit eBay and I was lucky enough to secure six of them.


Four came in one purchase and two of those are from the hands of the same artist -- Josef Rubinstein. Joe is the artist I pulled from my first box break of the product, so he gets a lot of credit for helping me fall head over heels for the product and the sketches specifically. I had yet to add another card from him to my collection, but two in one fell swoop isn't such a bad way to make up for lost time. Malory Archer and Pam Poovey are amazing characters in every sense of the phrase so picking up likenesses of them is always a welcome sight.


I'll be posting the new sketch pickups in pretty reasonably quick fashion so I can have them ready to go up on my Archer Instagram account:
