Catalogue note
A 2024 SkyBox Metal Universe Avengers FX Gold High Series parallel for Captain Britain (Brian Braddock), card #179. It is distinct from the numbered PMG Red #179 already catalogued as TMR-000178.
Scarcity: Unnumbered FX Gold High Series parallel; Upper Deck’s official checklist states insertion odds of 1:12 Hobby, 1:12 e-Pack and 1:24 Blaster packs. No finite print run is stated.
Historical context: The reverse identifies Captain Britain #2, dated October 6, 1976, and describes Brian Braddock choosing the Amulet of Right. Upper Deck documents the product in its 2024 release cycle; the physical card carries ©2023 UDC, and both dates are preserved without conflation.
Uncertainties: Exact card-front illustrator/designer credit has not been established. No numeric condition grade assigned. Exact market value remains unknown pending reliable completed-sale evidence. Earlier TMR records from the same product require a separate controlled release-year normalization.
Why this object matters
The Captain Britain FX Gold high-series card provides a strong visual counterpart to the held PMG image. Its British-Marvel relationship and distinct treatment sustain the score without requiring serial numbering.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
