Item Description
3.25x5.5" postcard issued to welcome new members to club that begin in 1941. Postcard features portrait image of Captain America over his stars and stripes shield and has simulated handwriting from the Captain reading "Dear Sentinel; I Want To Congratulate You On Becoming A Member Of The Sentinels Of Liberty. Bucky And I Welcome Your Letters Telling Us How You Like Our Book And Which Stories You Liked The Best. Please Write Us So That We Can Give You The Type Of Stories You Like Best, Your Pal, Captain America (And Bucky)." Card has "Captain America" return address and typed recipient name/address. Postally issued, postcard has May 13, 1941 New York, NY postmark. Moderate handling creases, including one across Cap's face. Opposite side has .75" spot of tape staining that does not affect image/text side. VG/Fine. This club also issued a brass badge and rwb membership card. The badge is scarce and the card is rare, but both pale in rarity to this piece, which is the only example we know of. A must have for any serious Marvel/Timely collection.
