We can now reveal more details about this upcoming set:
Sherlock Holmes and Victorian Crime is a card set of the absolute highest quality and will be the first of several sets released by Cult-Stuff in the coming months. We think our first set should be something extra special so we are stuffing it full of interesting extras. We have given near complete freedom to some of the most talented sketch artists in the business who in turn have produced some truly remarkable cards. While the set is aimed at Sherlock Holmes it is not limited to the great detective and his rich cast of characters, so you can expect more than a few surprises. The artists involved have brought vibrant talent and great imagination to the set making these cards a must have for any collector.
The micro set is made up of eighteen limited basic cards, a nine card “Canvas” set (which as the name implies is printed directly onto a thick high quality canvas) mini parallel chase cards in several variations, and of course at least one sketch card per pack!
Each pack will retail at £16.99 (roughly $26.00) and includes free world wide shipping. Wholesale pricing is available so contact us for details.
We say at least one sketch because you will on occasions find more than one, we have a policy, no multi-card images are separated, so if the images spread onto two cards or nine, you will find them all in the same pack, or in some rare cases a redemption will be issued if they do not fit safely into one pack.
We also have a new Sherlock Holmes promo card for this set, P1, which will come in several variations. The image shows the front of the card with art by the ever talented Robert Hack, who also produced a good deal of the base card art.

You should expect to find in each pack:
At least 6 Basic Cards
1 or more Sketch Cards
1-2 Chase cards
Many packs will contain more than this, with some surprise additions to the set, including redemption’s for uncut sheets and other bonus items. A few rare packs will include ALL the chase and base cards and extra sketches. Series 1 is limited to just 850 numbered packs world wide and will be released in two stages. The first packs are set to ship in November and will be available for preorder this week. The first 200 packs ordered will also come with a bonus card.
This image above shows one of the parallel cards and it’s full size counterpart.
