1993 Skybox Simpsons Matt Groening DeBart Sketch Card - 214/400 - PSA 9 AUTO 10 - Only 8 Graded Higher! .
The 1993 SkyBox Simpsons trading card set holds a unique place in hobby history, widely recognized for introducing one of the first mainstream sketch card inserts. The centerpiece of the series was the elusive "Art DeBart" redemption card, inserted at staggering odds of 1:9,000 packs. Lucky collectors who redeemed this card received a hand-drawn sketch by The Simpsons creator, Matt Groening. Only 400 sketch cards were ever produced, establishing them as one of the earliest and most influential examples of sketch cards in the collectibles market.

Offered here is one such rarity: a 1993 SkyBox "DeBart" Sketch Card, individually hand-numbered 214/400 and featuring Bart Simpson simply waving - rendered in Groening's unmistakable linework.

Professionally graded PSA MINT 9. In addition, Groening's signature has been authenticated and awarded a perfect PSA Auto Grade of 10.

These sketch cards have become increasingly desirable among pop culture and animation collectors, due to their scarcity, early release date, and direct connection to one of television's most iconic franchises.

A standout piece from the dawn of the sketch card era - and one of the finest graded examples available.
