When did Inkworks start with the "Guaranteed one auto (and now PW) per box" thing? If it wasn't back when S4 and 5 were out, perhaps I'd be better off leaving the boxes unopened for the time being. Its not like I need the inserts or common cards, and I can't think of a thing I'd trade the boxes for, anyway lol.

Season 5 was sort of a transition year. Season 4 was the last of the tough years (autos were about 1:3 boxes) and season 6 was the first year they guaranteed 1 per box. Season 5 was about 2 autos per 3 boxes if I recall and had a lower print run than season 4 which is probably why they seemed to vanish so fast.

I can post someone else's best find since they outbid me by $.50! It was an Alias Bust (statue) for $5.50! It usually retails for $40. Grrr Darn work, couldn't get back on to bid!

Well, it's not an ebay find. But I bought a Eliza Dushku Angel 4 Unredeemed Autographed Redemption card on another Auction site for NZ$7.00 + postage. Inkworks have redeemed it for me now

Cheers, Pete.

Pete, that reminds me of when I picked up the Buffy Season 5 "Xander's Double" unredeemd redemption card from an Aussie seller who obviously had no idea that anyone worldwide can send them in to be redeemed. I can't remember what I bought it for, but i had no bidding competition, and won it for her opening price. It was under AU$20, that's all i remember.

Who knows, I probably posted about it in this topic somewhere (and I've forgotten).

My boxes arrived today.
Bugger it, I'll just open them. Can't have them sitting there staring at me, lol!

Well I guess since I bought a couple of Bond Quot. boxes for roughly $80 total and wind up pulling a Sophie Marceau out of one box and the Roger Moore out of the other box,these can be classified as a very good ebay find.

I just got the Memorabilia exclusive 9 card preview set for U.F.O.

This was limited to only 300 sets.

Price? £1.24

well, it wasnt ebay, but another auction site - found a Brent Spiner Insurrection auto for $85!!!

About a year ago I managed to snag a sealed Babylon 5 premier ccg booster box for $6. Considering they can sell anywhere from $25-45 I thought it was a steal.
Cheers - Pete

I finally snagged a Fans of the Game Tia Carrere autograph card (34/100) for a bargain price of $41. I stll don't know how it slipped through, they usually end anywhere from around $70 to $110.

Recently I did a Buy it Now for a Brent Spiner Outer Limits autograph for about $40. Even though it wasn't Star Trek, it matters not a whit to me. I have wanted an auto of his for a long time. Also once got a Burt Reynolds Twilight Zone autograph for $30 on the 'Bay.

I just won a season 2 Xena auto card A10 Ephiny Danielle Cormack for £30.05.
Not bad considering i've only ever seen it on sale once, and the price was £99.95.

Not ebay, but I just got a Xena Season 2 Urban auto card for less than $25 Now I'm impatiently waiting

Just got a Buffy Season 4 'New Beginnings' uncut sheet for £8

The other day, I got a bunch of Buffy Promo cards:
B4-3, SFX-2, B7-1, BB-1, P-UK, A3-UK, A5-1, A4-UK and....

BM-1! Probably the hardest promo to find, especially in mint condition.
I have 2 of these now

Got the lot for £10.50.

Angel season 2 mini master set for £8.50 and Angel season 3 mini master set for £10.00.

Still think the Ben Kingley autograph from the Thunderbirds set for 9 pounds is going to be a steal in the long run. Got a Sophie Myles for the same price.

completely agree
a poor film has kept the price way below what it should be worth for an actor of His stature
I've bought His and Sophies for under £9 too ( and Frakes )

I just won a Xena Beauty&Brawn A23 Melinda Clarke Velasca for £10!

I have been after this for ages

Now I have to decide what is going to happen to my Melinda Clarke Enterprise auto card!

Just snapped up 4 James Bond 40th Anniversary autos and the Inkworks TWINE Serena Scott Thomas auto and 4 promo cards for US$35. No one bidded on it and I guess that had much to do with the auction heading 'James Bond 007 Trading Card Singles Page'. There's another current auction for just the TWINE Serena auto and now already at £31.03 (about US$58).
