I just saw these on eBay, up for sale with ambiguous descriptions by seller cindymullins2. The entire description reads (varies slightly by card): “This auction is for one sketch card from the 2008 Topps Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.”
While the card stock featured in the auction may have been inserted in a pack at one time, the art nearly certainly was not. Looks like a redraw over another artists work. If you like this style card I’d suggest getting your favorite artist to do one for you rather than supporting folks who go this route.

Who’s the artist? I can’t tell,but it looks like CH???
Anyone can answer……

Here is some more about the Lego Indy Cards. Supposidly all are redrawn over other art. Mentions the last in particular.

Huh. Learned something new.
That said…one could argue that the poor art (and acceptance of such by the purchaser, Topps) is a major enabler here.
