Spotlight on the Sabine Wren Sketch Card
Another highlight from our recent pulls is the Authentic Silver Foil Sketch Card of Sabine Wren, signed by artist Dawn Murphy – and it’s 1/1! This piece perfectly captures the spirit of Star Wars Galaxy Chrome—a blend of artistry, exclusivity, and fandom. Sketch cards like this are included approximately every four to five Hobby Boxes, making them a prized find for any collector.
Sketch cards not only bring original artwork into collectors’ hands but also add a personal touch that can’t be replicated. These unique cards, created by talented artists from around the world, are treasures that showcase the enduring appeal of trading cards as a form of art.
