This came across the new on the ICV2 site...

In June Upper Deck follows up with a trading card release based on the Marvel Studios’ movie Captain America: The First Avenger, which is slated to debut on July 22nd. The 90-card Captain America set features all the key moments and characters from the highly anticipated movie, plus some great inserts including autographs from the film’s cast and “patch” cards that feature some of the popular patches and insignias used in the movie.

Marvel is keeping Upper Deck Entertainment quite busy it would seem. Thor, Beginnings, and now Captain America.

I do notice it says nothing about sketch cards, but I'm betting those will be in there too.

I have to wonder if the "patch" cards are from the costumes or if they will be manufactured patches.

Probably the latter.

A manufactured patch card means nothing in my opinion, and that does sound like that's what they are. Hope I'm wrong.

I saw some artists discussing the Captain America sketch cards on Facebook, so I think there will be sketch cards for this release.

More info will be released next week, says my source.

I love this design

I agree, nice design!

Nice looking card. I see it's an artists proof card with the "AP" special marking on the front. That's good to see they have marked it so it differentiates from pack inserted cards.

Looks like, at this time, we'll have to wait until next month for more info.

Doesn't really matter at this point anyway...

1) Upper Deck's lists always change at the last minute.

2) Most non-sport dealers are going to be restricted from selling it.

With the odds at 1 in every 288 packs does it really matter?

But I haven't seen a list yet either.

anymore news? release is soon...
auto list, images...

Ha ha someone linked the scans I did of the cards. Kinda big aint they. How did you find them? Oh I did 92 cards for the Captain America set. I also have about 4 AP returns and one already approved AP for sale if anyone's interested.

Comes out tomorrow and we still dont have a costume/autograph list. Come on Upper Deck. Either step up your game or let Rittenhouse handle these releases.

If it's similar to Thor, there will be only 4 autographs...
