Nice finds, Paul! The sketch is a nice one. Here's hoping you get the Kingsley autograph! Thumb Up

I went to the same shop just before Christmas and there wasn't a sealed box to be found. That said, the young lady working there didn't seem that interested anyway Shake Head
Very nice collection of swag, Paul Thumb Up

Really Nice Sketch Card Thumb Up

Graham,
The sealed boxes used to be on a shelf behind the till - all that was leftthere today was the three I ended up buying, plus a couple of boxes of Enterprise and a box of Smallville - but I didn't have enough cash on me!
I love the sketch - I already have one from this set, by John Czop, that I picked up from the Collector Zone stand ar Collectormania Milton Keynes a couple of years ago, but this pulled sketch made the box for me - especially as the box and binder (admittedly minus the pages) was only a fiver! It would be nice if I get the autograph and cossie card, but if not, well I've had my money's worth!
Au Res.,
Paul

That was a great bargain Paul, congrats...

You got some nice cards from those boxes and hopefully you get the auto and costume card as-well

A little while ago, now I finally found a Roswell Season 1 binder for US$60 or $US80 BIN. I'd bought an auto at the same time and can't remember which was which price, but it was one of those two.
Of course, I didn't have the binder long before someone else wanted it. I was half-heartedly going for a master set, but sold what I had so far to a more enthusiastic collector who wanted it more than I did Smile

I think it was more being in the right place at the right time on eBay, and choosing the right person, but I managed to buy a case of Heroes well after they'd sold out. Price on that was just over US$430.
It should be here any day now Smile

A rather unusual buy for myself, but I've been watching these Donruss Americana cards on ebay, I think there are some really good prices out there for big name stars.

I just picked up Giovanni Ribisi's autographed card for a mere £6 and its limited to only 50!
He is probably best known for his role in Friends as Phoebe's brother and for his part in Saving Private Ryan.

That's a fantastic Bleathman sketch. Congratulations!

I've collected a few of Graham's sketches and they are always excellent quality.

Cheers,

I just won this on eBay -- #160196975747 X-Men Last Stand Kelsey Grammer/Beast autograph for $71 + $5.95 s/h! Metal I'm thrilled because I needed it for my X-Men collection and I never saw one sell for less than $100.

That's putting it lightly! Fantastic STEAL zhamlau! I feel very sorry for the seller though - it would physically hurt me to send that card to you for 50p.

Now the real challenge will be to try and find yet another one even cheaper. Big Grin

The seller should never have sold it for that price so only has himself to blame.

How's that for heartless? Big Grin
