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

GrahamI 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

Very nice collection of swag, Paul

hammerReally Nice Sketch Card

Quaint1Graham,
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

DaveSBThat 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

Star*MystykA 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

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

CordeliaChase_FanGot this for $35 plus shipping- I couldn't pass it up after I saw it on auction last week- it is gorgeous.

Card DudeA 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.

XThat'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.

The seller should never have sold it for that price so only has himself to blame.
How's that for heartless?
