PLEASE SEE THE NEXT FEW POSTS FOR MORE INFO AS WELL AS PROMO PICTURES
First, I am new to the forum, this being my first post. I see Brads55 is the resident AaW guy so here is his thread on the topic.
These are the little tidbits I have accumulated as a fan and collector of this series for the last 8 months or so:
iCardz released the America at War - Band of Brothers set earlier this year.
Lest We Forget Collector Cards
The cards have been well received, although they are not appearing on the secondary market in any quantity to make them easy to collect.
HOBBY BOX: Since iCardz is primarily interested in the educational value of these cards, they are in packs. However, you receive one complete set in every box with no extra cards:
1 set of America at War D-Day - 143 cards
1 set of Band of Brothers - 49 cards
AD1 promo for The Pacific
AD2 a salute to veterans
AD3 promo for the Binder
AD4 about Valor Studios (company working with iCardz to secure art and autographs from veterans)
2 Instant Win cards (see previous post)
Autographs/Sketches. This has changed at various times in the past. At one point, you could choose to receive an EXTRA autograph or sketch in addition to the autograph in the box. For the longest time, you were guaranteed 1 auto per box, as promised on the back of the various promo cards.
Currently, iCardz says that you can POSSIBLY receive one autograph or sketch in your box.
BE AWARE: As of September 2010, and presumably for all remaining product. the autos and sketches fall at 1 in 6 boxes:
FAQ
Sketches: Ingrid Hardy initially had 50 sketches on her site but has now updated it to include 100 finished works HERE, and they were all inserted into the product. I will try to confirm this soon. Also, it appears the sketches are NOT all of men who gave their lives in Europe. Someone with more sketches will need to confirm what the backs of them say if a soldier survived and came home after the war.
Autographs (update November 2010, light grey do not exist in this product):
SP1 - Lynn "Buck" Compton
SP2 - William Guarnere
SP3 - Forrest Guth
SP4 - Edward "Babe" Heffron
SP5 - Clancy Lyall
SP6 - Donald Malarkey
SP7 - Earl McClung
SP8 - Amos "Buck" Taylor
SP9 - Ed Tipper
