Verified Trader,
Planned to head to the comic shop today to grab a box of Upper Deck's Iron Man 2...let me say that I was peeved that RA was overlooked for this set as they did an AWESOME job on the first Iron Man movie, even landing Robert Downey, Jr. as a signer. RDJ didn't sign for Upper Deck's product, but I still wanted to give it a go...glad I did 
I read a few places that said you're supposed to get three hits per box...two sketches and a mem, two mem and a sketch and maybe an auto in every four boxes. I had FIVE hits in this box and each one better than the next. I'm willing to bet that this one box is better than any case I could have hoped to open.
In "Top 5" style...
NUMBER 5
I don't know my Iron Man characters since I hated Iron Man as a kid (RDJ made him cool in my eyes). If anyone can tell me whose chin this is, well, pin a rose on your nose. I guess it's part of a puzzle sketch, but how on earth are you going to get the other three? A true Quincy in the making...not sure who the artist is either.
EDIT - just figured out the artist is Frank Raposa...
NUMBER 4
Again, another character I'm not sure I know (is this Black Widow?) but I was thinking how cool it would be to pull a painted sketch. This is it! Beautifully done in oil and water and MAN does this chick look gorgeous...move over Daphne from Scooby-Doo! Also not sure who the artist is as it is not signed.
NUMBER 3
Normally this would be "Number 1", because Gweneth Paltrow worn ANYTHING is tops in my books, but she gets topped by these two...

NUMBER 2
I know, I actually hit an auto and not only did I hit one, but I hit THE one. Again, no Downey to pull, but Mickey Rourke is the big name of the four who signed. How can this be #2??? Well, number 1 came in the second pack of the box...

Holy. Crap.
I sat there STUNNED for about five minutes. This was the first hit out of the box and I was sure the rest would suck...as you can see, this was probably the best box I know I would ever see from this product. Like I said, I'm done. I ain't touching this stuff again because anything I pull will be crap compared to this.
Good work, Upper Deck...VERY good work!
