I agree, i would never pay for it either, but you know those crazy collectors out there  Sometimes I think that alot of people pay through their noses for something that is labelled 'rare' but don't really appreciate. I bet if they made a prop card with Dan Radcliffe's toenails (ok, ok, thats silly, but you get the idea  ) and made it a /5 it would go for a small fortune. I mean, the rarity factor would far outweigh the 'euuwwww' factor  |

Any time  I can come up with more lovely ideas, but I think they would get me permanently booted off the forum  |

Gee Ladies - thanks for the curse and then recinding it! I would prefer not to have boils across my forehead or anywhere else thank you!  That is the first time I have seen an unsigned Gandalf. I have seen one for Boromir but not for Aragorn. Did the Aragorn one sell do you remember? Now we could never have FTY booted off this Forum could we?  It would never be the same!  |

Thanks savage Welcome to the elevated yak status - we are now certifiably obsessed with yaks! Not to mention four legged and hairy |

You are welcome! And the pleasure is all mine Do you think we should ask Roz and Mark if we can have those cool eyebrows that samwise has under his 'omnipotent yak' status? Yes, Roz, I know they are horns |

Why not. You have to post quite a bit to get to this point so you should be rewarded with a unique identifier. |

I am looking for a reasonable price on the more valuable cards. If the auction does not reach a decent price, I will most likely end it early.
If you wish to inquire about the price range, e-me, subject !EBAY AUCTION Price Range of --- card! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=60245&item=6111347903&rd=1Is this allowed? Surely not. Why does the seller simply not set a reserve price and say what it is? |

No! Not if you are going to be rude about the Yak horns. Now go to your room! *ahem* LOL Yeah I think that should be possible - or if you want to be really elitist you could have a totally new symbol! Our resident Mak is currently in the middle of designing a new website and so he's a busy bee (but the new one will be cool - do you ever visit Mark's Pirates comic, they have Hobbit like stature ) but let him know what you might like (by posting here or PM) and I am sure he'll do something. |

You know I would never be rude Roz, really I wouldn't! Well... occasionally... *hangs head in shame*  I'll keep from harassing the Bovine King about mine and Ed's new yak status until he finishes the new website and besides, I need my Bob's your uncle fix! I have become addicted to that cartoon now, thanks Mark |

Have you really?  He'll be delighted to hear that! You will have noticed you didn't get one yesterday and that's cos the new site is under construction. You can see it at http://www.theyakshack.34sp.comas it is being changed all the time there - but shhh I wasn't supposed to tell you that! Last night he did an amazing colour thing with all the characters from Pirates in colour for the Pirates pages Yahay! (And he starts a new job today so he'll be all nervous today and tired tonight). Ahh well I shall get back to my own work which is getting more and more frustrating by the minute. How can you do "world class research" with 10 year old pieces of "high tech" equipment - think you can't? How right you are! |

Yes indeed I went back to the start of the series and read them all. Voting everyday as well of course! Surely you can get better equipment for your project from your university? It IS Cambridge, after all - surely they would want their students to have the best of the best? |

You'd think so - apparently Cambridge has a reputation for "research on a shoe string" - is that an international phrase! Wow - thanks so much for the votes and all the Bob's your uncle. Soon you will be able to go through the Pirates archives and read those in a row too - Mark didn't make them their own section at first because he thought if people tuned into his site and saw a black and white toon they wouldn't be interested or think he was lazy, but Pirates is my favourite (and perhaps other people like it too) so finally they will be getting their own section |

Yea Roz - we need to have you picket the head of Cambridge to get that remote controlled helicopter for the overhead photographs you need for your research! Or else be able to tap into our spy satellites! Both FTY and I look forward to our refined Yak status look whenever Mark can get to it! |
