The Collection

The collection is centred on the 2012 Batman: The Legend trading card set, regarded by many collectors as one of the finest Batman card releases ever produced.

The complete set comprises the standard base cards together with the chase cards, foil parallels, toppers and promotional inserts, all of which combine to create a comprehensive representation of the series.

What truly distinguishes Batman: The Legend, however, is its inclusion of original one-of-one sketch cards. More than 150 artists from around the world were commissioned to create unique pieces of original artwork, randomly inserted into sealed boxes. As no two sketch cards are alike, this aspect of the collection continues to evolve, with new discoveries and acquisitions being added on a regular basis.

Alongside the official set, I have had the privilege of collaborating with a number of highly respected artists to commission a series of original Batman sketch cards. These exclusive, one-of-one artworks bring a unique and personal dimension to the collection, celebrating the remarkable talent and diversity of the artists involved.

Building this collection has been an immensely rewarding journey. Every new acquisition has its own story, and with new sketch cards continuing to surface and new commissions constantly underway, the collection remains very much a work in progress.

I hope you enjoy exploring the collection as much as I have enjoyed creating it.
