This sux, why have they only made 30 cards of the Pear Tree Leaves? I've almost got the whole PoA set, but it's not a complete set untill I get the Pear Tree Leave, but the price is sky high! I'm the last bidder on the auction, I raised the price to $1,176, but that "dis-cix" is unbeatable.

I do admire the strenght "dis-cix" has shown in this auction thus far. I think you are going to have to get really lucky to find this card for under $1200 right now. Only 30 people in the world will have a master set. That is sad, but on the up side I am one of them  That is not intended to be a gloat, but I am just happy right now. ztaylork |

Hehe, yeah you know what, it's hard not to see it as a gloat! Man, I can't get over it, that one card costs so much is really f**ked up, I can understand that Joe Dimaggio's signed cards are worth that now, but they've just been released and allready the price is sky high...

M***er %#&¤"!æøå`§!!! How much does a Pear Tree Leaves card usually go for on eBay? This is the first I've seen, so I don't really know.

That's a good point, this is the first you have seen because it's the first one on a proper auction....
so we've nothing to judge it by!
I have to say I think it's REALLY strange that I am the only one selling a spare, perhaps dealers etc think it's too soon to sell; the movie isn't out; Cards Inc haven't had their TV campaign advertising the cards inc set etc so there is loads of publicity to come on this set, there are some hardened collectors out ther (eg the dis-cix) but I am sure the dealers are right, it's probably too early to sell (but I bought two and I need some money back to spend on the other cards in the set!!!).
But then again if Warner Bor, Artbox etc do keep 10-15 of them back there aren't many around for collectors, so far I know of numbers 15, 18, 22, 23 and 25 being available for collectors.

So you believe that after the campaign all the cards will rise even higher? They probably will, but one thing is that theese cards are wanted right now, and probably in the next couple of years when the other HP movies wil be released, but what will they be worth in ten years? If I win this card, I'll sell my master set when the next HP movie has premier.

If you win the card off me and then in a year sell it - do drop me an email to let me know what the master set goes for - or post it here; we'd all be interested!

I will, even if I don't get the Pear Tree Leaf card from you, I'll post it here if I do get a Master set and sell it. But I think I've reached what I will pay for a piece of papir.

Yes - we all feel very ill when we think of that Chris! I do - both mine cost multiples of that  well not quite #15... it is so weird that you ring up Cards Inc just 36 hours later and the price has been so hiked... I heard that they charged £1000 for the last one they sold - by comparison to that mine on ebay is a bargain! How can they justify putting the prices up so much? |

Fingers crossed! The second highest bidder is MPC - who incidentally hasn't been on the forum (as far as I have spotted) since we had that "downtime". I wonder if he knows we are back up and running  |

Thanks everyone, it wasn't hard work though  Drinks would be on me if you were here folks, but instead I shall be starting some competitions on the website... for promos (including Van Helsing, Harry Potter and LOTR - donated by the lovely Chidgey Cards and Cards Inc - thanks Darren et al). The plan is to have Mark design a flash game which you can all play - the highest scorer at the end of the week or a certain date will be congratulated on the forum and I'll ask for their address to send a small batch of cards to! What do you think? (admittedly I haven't had any of the cards in yet and Mark's not designed the game yet - so just watch this space!) |
