(Please move this to a different area if it is in the wrong topic area)
One of Roz's posts made me think about this question -
What is the best & or most expensive card you have ever pulled - HP, LOTR, Sports, Star Wars- any kind?
And if you are able post a picture!

Personally or as a group? With Mark - Mark pulled this:  Personally tho the most valuable card I have pulled myself out of HP and LOTR is this  The limited to 750 HP clothing card! Hopefully all that will change when HP PoA update comes out! I shall be telling Mark he can't open any boxes and that he is restricted to tea making duties  LOL Not really - Mark if you play nice you can help me sort the base sets  |

Well I pulled an Eowyn coronation dress... but that's not so valuable... I didn't get in with boxes with LOTR  I don't know how many boxes of Trilogy I will get, the auto line up will have to perk up a bit |

I prefer to refer to them as non-variant Permission Form prop cards. Blank just doesn't sound as good.

I think we all do! Ones with printing on seem a lot cooler and tend to be the "variant" ones. What do the swatches look like? Have you got pics? R |

Sorry, about calling them blank ones the non-variant ones are pretty cool as well. My variant one is with part of the hogwarts crest and is pretty cool. My best Harry potter pull (besides the hotbox, and not to mention my Peter Jackson update auto out of two boxes.....I hope my luck is not running out) was a Hermione autograph in the same pack as a Hermione pink sweater card. I was pretty stoked about that. ztaylork |

Wow that was one great Hermione themed pack! nice one! I hope to have some good stories to post here when I start on the update set, I have only bought one or two boxes before and that's really not the way to do it (unless you have Zach's PJ luck that is!) |

I bought four boxes of Fleer Star Trek Original Series 3 trading cards and out of those four boxes pulled two Deforest Kelley Auto cards  This was good but was mere probability. Out of all the boxes I've bought over the years I normally end up pulling the worst autos and costumes going. Anyone need a figwit! |

 Hello, everyone. I am a new member, maybe even # 101! What do you say, Roz...have you got "a party ready" for my arrival? LOL. I am a friend of morenomark, we work at the same place. Well, this past June I went to New England (sorry, couldn't afford to fly over the pond & visit your land). While on vacation, I bought a box when they weren't so cheap, but definitely not $200! Anyway, I called morenomark & told him I located a box for $130, and we decided to "split" the box. When I got back to California, I took the box to work & opened it with morenomark. We both got 12 packs, and I let him choose which side he wanted. He picked the left 12 packs & got a few foil cards. My packs were a little more "loaded"...I got 1) Ginny Weasley Autograph, 2) George Weasley Costume Card & 3) the Zonko's Bag Prop Card. I felt real guilty for pulling all these, but did keep them all the same. Does that count as an answer to the question asked? Bye y'all, frd

Hi Frd! Sounds a bit like the case Ben/Samwise16 and I split - I got 3 dud boxes! What's your Zonko's like? All red? There are some great colour zonkos out there! Welcome welcome (gah my party pack hasn't arrived yet) I think you two must be the first two on the forum who knew each other before this forum... well except Mark/MakTheYak and me of course but we don't count as he's not officially a card addict... not really! |

 I actually got a real cool Zonko's Bag! It has three colors...Although I don't really see that as making the card being worth more or less. My first purchase of the HP POA cards was a complete set + binder + Hobby foil + box-toppers for $50 (I picked it up from eBay seller while I was on vacation in New England - by the way, I keep saying New England because I travelled to my three sisters homes in three states - Rhode Island, Massachusetts & New Hampshire). Is it okay to put my web-site for trading cards here on this forum? I love reading all about the cards coming up, and especially about the fantastic  "hot boxes"!

No, perhaps it doesn't change the prop too much - it's still a piece of the bag but it looks a lot cooler You are more than welcome to put your site on here, what about putting it in the "Diagon Alley" section - perhaps your site advertises your spares for trade? Anyway - we will keep on trying to bring you all the news on the update set etc... but one of the greatest times to be on here is when a new set hits, everyone is posting what they have pulled out of packs etc - have you seen the "online master set" - here? http://www.theyakshack.34sp.com/yabbse/index.php?board=6;action=display;threadid=36Savage 727 will be pleased to hear you went to New England... whereabouts are you in the US normally? |

I live in Southern California...but don't believe the lyrics, it does rain here sometimes! I actually got to see a master set, at the ArtBox table at the San Diego Comic Con in July. It was all I could do not to drool all over those beautiful cards  LOL ... My site does have card wants & haves...lots & lots & lots of both. I have been trading / collecting / buying (notice that I am not much on the selling) for nearly 15 years... I will list my site on the page you requested, but here it is until I get a chance to get to that page: http://mysite.verizon.net/res6yqax FYI, I have already placed an order for a case from Potomac, the case price has recently been added at $570, which for U.S. buyers is fantastic as Potomac doesn't charge S & H. Sorry, hope it doesn't upset you all across the pond :'( |

Wow!
Chris (Gimli on this forum) was thinking of bringing his complete master set to Memorabilia until he realised I'd either ruin it by drooling like you ; or steal it! He has everything... literally everything Ron 100 as well as Ron 500 green and blue promos - you name it - he has it! *lucky duck*
Cool site by the way, clear and informative but no potter listed in your needs and wants! Shocking!
Good news on potomac for you there! They seem to be quick at shipping so you should be one of the first on here to post what you get - don't forget to pop by!

 Hey Roz, On this page http://mysite.verizon.net/res6yqax/tv-movies.htm you can see I have lots of Harry needs, true I have none for trade  but will do my best when I get the case. Three months just seems like way too long (waaahhhhh)! I know realistically that I will never get most of them, but when you least expect it, if the cost is right THEY SHALL ALL BE MINE Of course I will return to post what I get. Hopefully I get 1 or 2 of the decent rare cards. They are so hard to get :'( Bye for now, frd
