Okay, I've brought this topic up before, but in different questions. I've seen an auction on E-bay that includes a Fingerman promo card, with a Lorca card. Back when Comic Values Monthly was being published, they had card listings and it had a listing for a Good Guys promo card. The picture had Icarus on it, but the listing also had Fingerman listed (it may have been a 2 or 3 card sheet). I know I've asked this before, but does anyone have any info in this/these cards? It may have been a promo for the 3 By Shooter set, but I don't believe Fingerman is on any of the cards in that particular set. Thanks in advance, any info is appreciated.

Hey, thanks to all you guys for the info. I've been trying to find out about these promos forever. I have one more question... In the thread above, is the first picture of the Good Guys promo actually one of the cards (the one with Icarus on it)? This is the first I've ever seen it. I just found the 3 By Shooter set about a year ago. I would like to find one of these someday if possible. It looks like a promo sheet. I almost thought the listing from years ago was a mistake. Thanks again. |

Wow  . Thanks guys. So that's who that demon was on the Dark Dominion ads and boxes was. Coolness. So the only way to get these cards was in the "apology" letter from Rivergroup? |

This is interesting. So, is the Icarus sheet is a promo that accompanied the other three cards? Sorry to ask so many questions about this particular card, but I'm wondering how it came about. Also, I think Hero Illustrated had an offer in one of their issues for a three-card promo set for the same Defiant card set. I had two copies of the issue (don't remember which particular issue it was), and I sent off for the cards. The actual offer looks identical to the one above, but the cards I received were Skipper (Warriors of Plasm), Billy Balistic (War Dancer), and NGU (Charlemagne). I've never seen the Mr. Fingerman or the other two cards. Thanks for the pics of them. I actually won an auction for the Dark Dominion #1 with the three cards. I'm hoping to someday get the Icarus card (sheet) also.

Okay, I'm wrong. I just found my extra of the actual offer, and mine is from Wizard also. My promo cards are numbered 1, 2, and 3 of 3 (like there was only 3 in the set of promos). The cards are foil stamped on the bottom in gold foil (the castle), and red foil letters "Defiant Universe". It wasn't from Hero Illustrated like I originally thought. I wonder if they offered different promo cards to different areas? I've heard of that happening.

That is so weird. Did someone really think that one more limited card offer would sell the comics & vice-versa?
