Good news for the Trading Card Collectors of the UK

I had an email yesterday from a friend of mine who works at play.com - they were asking what price they could ask for a pack of cards. They gave me no information at all on what they were selling , but I said probably £2.49 to £2.99 a pack (bearing in mind they include postage in that). Anyway the point of this tale is that play.com are going to be stocking the Revenge of the Sith trading cards.

Now, they know NOTHING about trading cards so they won't be sorted but they also can't realise that £4 for a pack of 7 cards is far too much (and I've told them so - you know me - always an opinion on everything ) with a one in 36 chance of getting a sketch, that's the equivalent of £144 or $280 a box

Ahh well - anything that raises the profile of the Hobby in the UK is fine by me

Blimey Roz - I can't believe you already bullied them into dropping the price by a quid!

Ahh well - at £2.99 I think people might be prepared to have a bash since that's postage included but most people are best off buying boxes.
