Military Propaganda & Poster (Cult Stuff)
I received today two packets of complete sets for the above.

Each packet numbered out of 1,000 contains a set of 36 cards and extras. Mine were numbered 714 and 721.

The extras for packet 714 were

Case Card numbered 37/36 which lists all the extras.
Canvas Full Bleed parallel card 02/36
A Labelled Redemption card for a Poster card numbered RCP (label numbered 29)
2 mini cards entitled on one side as Death and Life on the reverse.

The Life side is intended to represent Life Magazine ( the images are adult material 4 different)and shows the words German Propaganda 1943.
The Death side shows a skeletal head wearing a US Army helmet and is intended as a parody of the other side. This side contains the numbering A1/4, A2/4 etc. and the words Dropped in Italy US version. My two were numbered A1/4 and A2/4

The extras for packet 721 were

Canvas Full Bleed parallel card 31/36
Memorabilia Card M1 with a Deutsches Reich postage stamp attached
Mini cards A3/4 and A4/4

I also received two promo cards 1 for Dracula and 1 for Titanic however both were unfortunately horribly bent

I sure hope that is a card number and not serial number. Wink

I can confirm that it is definitely the card number. Essential this card is a sort of checklist in that it lists what the extra cards are.Amongst the text on the back listing the extras it does mention that some packets will also contain a Case card so luckily my packet was one of those.

I have to say that this set looks amazing! All the pulls I would be happy with- but I especially like the ration book stamps and the patches!

I got Set 198 of 1000 Friday and here's what I got:
1 set 36 base cards - these are really nice, and most of the images are new to me.
1 Canvas card
1 promo Propaganda Poster P1
2 mini Death cards 3,4
1 case card 37/36 - this is very useful, tells you what possible inserts you may find.

No patch cards or relic cards - a little dissapointed here, but I don't really need any patch cards, I have almost 2000 patches in my military collection. Would have liked one of the Ribbon or stamp cards.

What I did get:
1 Double sided Gloss card - this is a card with the "Keep Calm and Carry on" poster, on both sides. I couldn't quite grasp why a card would have the same image on both sides, so I thought it may be 2 promos stuck together. I tried to separate them and damaged an edge. Later, reading the case card I saw that these are less than 200 made. Hope nobody else makes the same mistake I did...

While not really impressed with my insert, I like the overall set and would recommend these to any history card buff.

Wolfie this was previously referred to in earlier posts by Igman7, Hammer and myself and these posts were presumeably read by Jason of Cult-stuff who made no comment about this card. It's numbering was clearly intended.

I just think it is a clever thing Jason has done. The set is 36 Cards and the Case Card is the 37th of the set (or is that Propaganda!!!!)

It probably all makes perfect sense and it is just me. Big Grin

The case card was also the checklist, and it was one image I really wanted to use but the set was full. As it was very limited (one as a case topper and one inserted into every case randomly) I numbered it as part of the basic set "sort of" it was an idea we stole from Pokemon who used to number secret cards included in packs this way.

The insert ratios on the cases worked out with 9 hits out of ten and the tenth one we try and insert a case card and a limited card of some sort. That said I am only reading PART of Don's post so if you drop me an email with your address I can get a replacement out for your damaged insert which was clearly due to a packing fault!

We have also started to get some redemptions back now and many of these will be going out in the next few weeks!

My two packs from Memorabilia were numbered 782 and 790 and Jason picked them out for me.He did a great job Thumb Up .

I got Canvas cards 25/36 and 27/36.

Mini Chase cards A1,A2,B3,and B4.

Mirror Wise card MW1.

A USA 3c War stamp.

A WW2 75th Division patch.

Must make mention of the base cards which are fascinating.Especially liked card 13/36 which urged britons during rationing to keep rabbits as "they are one of the few domestic pets that can be enjoyed dead or alive" Smile .
