    Military Propaganda & Poster Series 1

    Shipping Jan/Feb 2012

    Limited to 1,000 factory sets worldwide.



    This fantastic 36 card collection will retail at just $27.99 (£18.00)* and is available for Pre-order now.

    The set is almost finished! Each Factory pack will contain a full set of the basic cards and a selection of other chase cards.


    Ultra rare redemptions (redeemable worldwide) for items too large to include in packs:

    Authentic posters

    Real military memorabilia (medals, badges etc.)

    Limited reproduction posters




    Chase cards include:

    Authentic mounted military memorabilia

    Super limited sketch cards.




    You will also find limited edition propaganda leaflets fully restored and reproduced within the set.

    Cases will consist of 10 Factory Packs.


    Each factory sealed case is guaranteed to contain at least 2 very rare premiums (often more) along with a host of other chase cards. These ratios are expected to increase as we finalize the the chase production, but they will NOT decrease.

    The first 20 retail cases sold will include an additional incentive card.

    Pre Orders for this set are now available!



    A look at some of the cards from the first Promo set:

    Got my case yesterday nicely bubble wrapped OUTSIDE the box, bubble wrapped inside the box, everything nice and snug.

    I wasn't too careful with documenting each box and I missed some chases amongst the base cards the first time around.
    So, in no particular order, here are some of the highlights.

    Enjoy!


    Case 15/100 hand signed (approved?) by Jason at Cult-Stuff.

    The contents of the box. Bubble wrap around the 10 pack/boxes!
    You could play soccer with this case and have no problems with the contents.

    Front and back of each pack. This is a thick manilla pack, glue-sealed at the top.
    Inside, is a complete base set plus random chases, nicely sealed in a giant team bag.
    It's clear Cult-Stuff doesn't want to mess around when it comes to packaging.

    A couple of canvas parallels. Each of the 36 base cards come in a parallel at 1/pack.
    I found 10 of the 36 in my case. Collation was good for me such that I had no duplicates.

    Note, these appear to be on actual canvas, not just textured card stock.

    Two more canvas parallels.

    And three more. Yes, that baby-faced doll over there might give you a bad case of something or the other....

    Now, these are interesting. There are 2 of each of these for the different Allies they were dropped on, for a total of 8 cards.
    The fronts promise some interesting time to be had, but flip it over, and you get the opposite of Life, with a giant skull declaring death to you. Nazi humor?

    ~Oh, Franz, you sure got me there with ze bööbins on ze front!~

    A food/ration stamp. I am watching Foyle's War right now on Amazon Prime videos.
    It's interesting to see how bleak and hopeless the war was in 1940 for Britain, left all alone, being blitzed nightly, and on the verge of starvation, without the reassurance we know of a better future.

    Better use that condom. It sure will fool the enemy!
    The stamp chases are nice too, as you will see next.

    [​IMG]


    More stamps. My apologies for the quality of some of these pictures. Our camera really needs to be retired.
    The cards are all beautiful, nice and smooth feeling and excellently printed. The stamps are in excellent condition too.

    You guys have no idea how happy something like this makes me.
    Out of all my collectibles, the thing most dear to me is a surrender note because, though common and not worth much, it is an actual piece of paper from the war.
    It has a known purpose and tells a story all by itself. This patch is similarly glorious, and even more amazing in that it is NOT A REPRODUCTION.

    Another canvas (more on this in a bit), and a ribbon card.
    The canvas is a bit or irony, telling people about the evils of the British empire, being carried by it's slave nations.

    A sketch card. "League of German Girls in the Hitler Youth". They must have been a fun bunch...

    Redemption card for memorabilia too big to include in the case, in this case, a 'poster'.
    I like that the redemption card is another unique propaganda poster and I have written to Jason to ask if he will be sending them back with with the redeemed memorabilia.

    I love this set. I had never seen many of the 36 base card art pieces showing that Jason picked things carefully and didn't just reprint previous publishers attempts.

    The addition of a nice variety of chases made this an interesting break, surprising in almost every pack. One pack didn't have the 3rd (or 4th) extra I had come to expect. So, lo and behold, the next pack had an extra EXTRA chase!


    Highly recommended!
