I recently picked up a lot of 18 diff Valvoline promo cards from 1994 for a mere $ 4.00

Just received the 4 autographed piece work cards from veronica Mars season 2. Cost $40, so pleased with that

And well you should be.

You don't say which 4 you got, but when I look at the BINs for those signed pieceworks nobody is going for $10 each. I remember that I paid upwards of $50 for Charisma Carpenter years ago.

Did you buy them from someone in the UK? Since you are quoting dollars I would think not. I ask only because I do see some really nice card deals from UK sellers from time to time, more so than US sellers just on average. I can't take advantage of them from my end of it though. I have often wondered if its because of a lack of interest or less information on US TV shows. Anything mainly British, like Bond or Harry Potter or LOTR, is priced either in a similar range or sometimes higher due to greater demand for actors less known internationally.

Either way, it's a super deal on good looking cards. Congrats.

Just looked it up in the guide, I only see 4 AUPW in Season 2. You mean to say you got them all, including the Carpenter, for $40. That is epic.

Yes, I got them from a UK dealer, they purchased most of the inkworks stock. They often sell in $. I wasn't particularly looking for the cards but found them whilst looking for some other cards.

One of my best (few years ago) :

The dual costume card C13 Fred and George Weasley (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phenix" Update) and the dual costume C15 Slytherin & Gryffindor (same collection) :

for 0,99 $ each card !!



(Sorry for the bad pictures.)

very nice and the price is superb.

Thank you Wolfie.

I think I mostly had a STROKE of luck !

As a prelude to everybody's pulls from Elementals here are two Luro Hersal AP's I won on Ebay a few weeks ago that just came in the mail. $22.72 for the Witchcraft and $20.49 for the Spellcasters .

I snagged 2 sets of Star Trek The Starfleet Collection (6 Card Set - 3 of those are Holograms)
I haven't had a set since 1993.




these were in Specially Marked Boxed sets of the 1st Six Movies on VHS.

I'm sort of undecided whether this goes into one of my top eBay buys or not, as it's the second most expensive single card I've purchased, but I picked up Bryan Singer's autograph from the first X-Men set recently for £65. I still cringe a bit at paying that much money when I'm usually pretty strict on my budget, but honestly I had long written it off completely as a card that I'd even find within my price range, let alone win. So, pleased

I mean, I've still written off getting his even scarcer X2 card, but just one is fine!

That is an AMAZING price for that card, so stop cringing! I think you'd never get it better than that. Well done. I love hearing of finds like these even if I wish they were mine!

PS. Yours looks nicer than the one from X2.

Love those Star Trek cards Kryten, particularly the crew shot from Undiscovered Country.

Great pickup! Those Machete cards are RARE.

There are also 2 different Lohan autos from the Machete set, which you regularly see go for $100-200.

Also, a few unsigned auto cards from the set, by the other actors in the film. See Jeff Allendar's checklist for details.

I have them all. Got them on the auction site a long time ago for a song. Haven't seen any since, no clue how many exist.

Jeff lists these as the Machete autos, signed and unsigned

Just received a Wonder Woman DVD with 4 trading cards - a Sainsbury's exclusive - for £8.00. That's £2.00 less than the physical store, and to top it off, post free!
