Topps has directed our attention to a fan site at LOTRSketchcards.com, that may be useful to retailers planning their purchases of Lord of the Rings: Evolution, from Topps for February release.  The site lists all 47 sketch artists, the number of sketches for most of them, and images of a substantial number. 

 

The site also shows early fan interest in the Lord of the Rings sketch cards comparable to that for Topps' Star Wars cards, for which a similar site cataloguing sketch cards was created by a fan.
