Recent Sales
Original Michael Turner sketch cards from this set typically sell between $200 and $500 depending on the complexity of the drawing. Simple profiles sell lower, while detailed full-body character portraits sell higher.
Condition Details
The card exhibits sharp corners and clean edges through the top loader. Face-on centering is slightly off toward the left. Since it is hand-drawn, minor graphite smudges or ink bleed are part of the original production. The top loader shows some yellowing/scuffing, but the card inside appears well-preserved.
Grading Recommendation
Highly recommend submitting to PSA or CGC for 'Dual Service' (Card Grade and Signature/Sketch Authentication). Given Michael Turner's passing in 2008, his original hand-drawn work is highly collectible and authentication adds significant market security and value.

Notable Features

Authentication Notes
The sketch style and signature are consistent with Michael Turner's known 'long-hand' signature and his specific aesthetic for Aspen Matthews. The printed logo and numbering format match known genuine sketch inserts from the 2001 Dynamic Forces/Top Cow release.
