In honour of the upcoming July 4th, Band of Brothers autos, sketches, and other war autographs

Lest we forget...



Missing the final three autographs

Badass

Actually forgot this one...how could I do that??? A custom acrylic sketch card from Ingrid Hardy commemorating the Invasion of Normandy

With any luck Ty Hope will see the sketch

I've always ENJOYED history even though I'm in no way a "history buff". The WW1 and WW2 time periods - in particular - really draw my interest. I've started looking through the HoW relics.

Yeah Adam, I have 5 or so Horrors of War cut autographs and two relics. Could post those as well I suppose.

Very cool, thanks for sharing Rudzud.

Looking good Rud, happy to see you around again.

Here's my contribution to the thread if I may....

Didn't you pull a gun holster piece? Let's see that!

Among others, I'll take a picture of the cuts and such...I need a break from what I'm doing anyways

So they are from a set of cards called "America At War" from iCardz partnered with Valor. Produced back in 2010 in Canada I must have bought 100 or so packs. Hell, I actually had the spot where I was buying go and have other stores in New England send me their packs so I could buy them! Pulled a BUNCH of instant win cards (never won anything, you could win whole complete war relics which is honestly what I was chasing). The autographs when the boxes were first made fell to 1 per 3 boxes roughly to garner hype, at the end of the run though you could buy a case+ and never get one. They claimed it was 1:6 boxes got a sketch or auto but yeah, they flew them them all early on. Need 3 more for the set and I have never seen them on ebay (correction, I saw one but it was listed at a $600BIN with no BO). The other autos that I have (I believe all but Earl McClung are massive SPs) come up maybe once a year and go for big bucks. You can still find boxes, however, the instant win cards are expired and your not going to pull an auto, well you can, but if you do play the lottery because you've got a better chance at hitting that. They also released an ultimate complete set, the 196 card set with a binder, all 7 autos, 2 instant win cards, and a sketch with a certificate numbering that ultimate set out of 100 or so, but I don't think that was real (They were selling it for $400, the link is broken and I contacted them a bunch of times about it and never got a response). iCardz was supposed to come out with a set honouring the Pacific, but it never came to light. In case you havent figured it out, I've been heavily following and chasing this set now for 4+ years.

I actually contacted Beckett to see if they'd grade the those autograph cards (moreso for protection purposes) but they told me in email the set was too obscure. Drat.

So basically.....I am not going to find them it sounds like. And probably when I do I will be paying out the rear for them. These are cards I would have loved to won as they are true heroes on cardboard.

Thanks for all the information!!

You can get the complete set on the cheap (hell its in my store), very well done and beautiful cards. But as far as the autos, yeah, been 1.5 years since I saw one pop up. I've seen them as low as $60 ( it was an Earl McClung, sold instantly, wish I'd seen it) all the way up to $600

Very nice cards. I'll have to keep my eyes open for reasonably priced copies for the PC. I had no idea these existed. Thanks for sharing!

Certainly! Let me know if you see some reasonably priced ones too so I can scoop em up

Posting 'cuz my Buddy who runs a store has a Union General relative with a 1/1 cut (all cuts are 1/1) in that last Famous Fabric "Civil War" set.

His name was Andrew Humphreys.

IF you ever see it, LMK and thanks!
