If they were able to get the actors who are doing to the voices of ... it wouldn't make for a bad auto line-up.

Yeah, the auto lineup could be great. Or not. Upper Deck does not have a great track record as far as high end inserts goes.

And, of course, they want my order numbers before they'll tell me who is signing.

I'll order light on this one unless they can come up with more information.

What scares me more is the fact that the film - an animated kids film - is being released in what is typically a time of year that's a dumping ground for crumby films - directly after summer blockbuster season when all the kids are back in school. That lack of confidence from MGM makes me wonder if the film's any good, which would therefore scare me off from the set (especially since Cusack is signing for Americana II).

That's what I was thinking. It's odd for Inkworks to so publically display advertising for a set they apparently didn't have locked up.

They were advertising the movie, not a set. Me thinks they were asked to do so by one of the studios that allowed them to make a set for another movie (maybe Kong Fu Panda or something).

So one card company advertised a movie whose card set was going to be produced by a competitor?

That would be like Burger King using paper tray liners that advertise a movie whose toys were going to appear in McDonald's Happy Meals.

That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

I understand what you're saying, but if I'm Allan Caplan and one of the movie studios comes to me and asks if they can put up a poster at my booth I'd say "No problem!" in a heartbeat, even if the card set is going to a competitor. For one thing the card set was not advertised at all and, more importantly, it keeps up good relations with a studio that I may want to be working with in the future. It's better to be thought of as the helpful guy rather than the whiney non-cooperative guy.
