nice presentation but none of those items are particularly rare or valuable.

They look cool, but you could buy most of that in southern antique shops for a lot cheaper than what they are going to sell for. Except for the flag pieces.

It is not what is inside but that UD had taken the shadow box card to another level. It really widens the spectrum of memorabilia that can be included.

I agree, Michael. It's a cool concept that those items resulted from a pack of cards.

They're essentially shadow boxes. These seem cool to me.

The value of these will be disproportionate to the sum of their parts, just like baseball cards with cut autos and bat barrels and whatnot. The problem is that it takes so long for them to assemble these things. How long do the Entomology cards take? If they could just make a few thousand of these and pack them our for $50 or $100 a pop, they'd sell through in no time.

It would be nice that these cards were available when the packs hit instead of 4 months after when the hype has worn off.

No confederate flag pieces? Disappointing, I was going to go after one of those.

Lmao only someone from Arkansas would go after that. I personally would also but I just happen to be from SEMO LMAO. Sucks I dont get to go down there again this year, we usually go down for Thanksgiving but my 90 year great grandmother decided she wants to go to Florida on Thanksgiving.

Sure this will be done soon. If UD can buy up relics cheap. Shadow box card them in nice card like holders. Put one in box along with other stuff and sell out at $150 a box. When they can produce them for $20-$30 a pop. No brainer we will see more down line. Will be interesting what these museum type relics get on open market when they go live.

Another thing I like about these cards is no memorabilia had to cut up or destroyed to make them.

UD did a bang up job on the presentation. Amazing. I wonder what's mentioned on Civil War collector’s websites about this redemption. Honestly, do they even acknowledge this UD product as a resource for collecting? Not sure you take one of these shadow boxes to The Antique Roadshow for appraisal. What's next vintage Star Wars action figure redemption cards?

Biting sarcasm?

Or did guns during the Civil War only have hammers, flags only in tiny sections, etc.?

You can find gun hammers, buttons and other pieces already in small portions. The flag was probably chopped, though.

A star wars set with awesome sketch cards, autos and redemptions for graded vintage figures would probably sell out in about 10 seconds to star wars collectors.

I think they look fabulous! I don't consider them cards (for obvious reasons), but they are very creative memorabilia redemptions (crazy expensive to make - maybe as much as they are selling for!)... BG

I agree. They are more shadow box-esque but they are still stunning.

Sure, the actual stuff inside isn't all too valuable (heck, I picked up a cut sig of a civil-war vet for under $10) but it's the presentation is what is fascinating to me.

I'd love to grab one of those flag cards

Aside from the flag. Gun hangers are commonly found by themselves by relic hunters with metal detectors.
