LOS ANGELES- April 2, 2012 – Profiles in History, run by Joe Maddalena, will be holding two separate raffles to give away two original prop Captain America Comics #1 made for the \"\"<\/a>film production of Marvel Studios\u2019\u00a0Captain America: The First Avenger<\/em>. Each prop comic book has been\u00a0certified and given a 9.4 grade by the Certified Guaranty Company (CGC). The comic book is pictured left. CGC is the first and most trusted independent, impartial, third-party grading service for collectible comic books.<\/p>\n

One prop comic book will be raffled off at the Chicago Entertainment and Comic Expo (C2E2). For those not attending C2E2, Profiles will raffle off the other prop comic book via Facebook. Winners will be announced on April 14, at 5:30pm CDT, just before the\u00a0Captain America<\/em>:\u00a0The First Avenger\u00a0<\/em>auction at 6pm CDT. Details for both contests are below.<\/p>\n

The hero Captain America shield encased in \u201cice\u201d resin, pictured below, will be part of the auction. The first time we ever see Captain America\u2019s ultimate hero shield is in the opening scene of the film where an expedition of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the Arctic investigates the wreckage of the Suborbital Bomber. Entering the hull of the frozen ship, the explorers discover the iconic red, white and blue\u00a0shield frozen solid in a block of ice. This prop is composed of a distressed, metallic Captain America shield suspended in a solid block of clear resin, a one-of-a-kind, significant piece. It is expected to fetch $4,000 \u2013 $6,000.<\/p>\n
