Maybe this was in another thread and I missed it, but...

How is the Harry's Grey T-Shirt Costume Card being distributed?  I have seen 2 on ebay (one sold by itself and one as part of a costume set).  Is it a dealer exclusive or some kind of future tin exclusive or incentive, or something else altogether?  Anybody have the answer?

i heard it is an exclusive for an "MPC" or something

apparently it was an incentive for buying a lot of cases and this dealer has them all - 475 I think

like you said i only have seen 2 on ebay so if this dealer has more than I wish they would be availble so we can collect the card rather than not know where the cards are coming from

if anyone knows any different please share

After overhearing a conversation between a couple of dealers, I heard this -

It is an MPC "Exclusive" , So basically he's got most of the cards to sell.

There are supposed to be approx 15 of these cards inserted into packs, but so far, I do not know any dealers who have pulled any.

What I heard was that MPC has about 200 and a certain distributor has the rest!

Which in my opinion is POO as MPC could sell them for his prices and take advantage of people who want the card.

I also heard the he does not want this information made "public knowledge", which will give him the advantage to drip feed these cards into the market and get a premium price on each one.

As I am only a collector, I can only tell you what I have heard and maybe the truth about this card will come out ???  Who knows ????

Interesting that nobody has commented on these comments.  ???

SOUR GRAPES.....springs to mind :P :P :P

Sour grapes?

Really?? lol not from members on this forum I don't think... ok yes one member... but I was including "posting" members :P

Any Sour Grapes has been expressed by the posts.

But that doesn't explaint he silence both by forum members and MPC

I think i commented in another thread about the situation with the Ron 500 cards and made my feelings known. I've bought from MPC before and continue to do so its nothing personal-i just don't really like retailer exclusives in an area which is a collectable realm.
 :)

Well you can always buy the grey t shirt from the "original" set! I know someone Personally  ::) who has one on ebay right now, lol...

Indeed Olly, Dont people like the truth?

Where did *that* come from Martyn?

Truthfully, I don't know just couldn't think of anything else to put!

But as MPC hasn't denied it, there might be truth in it?

"This is an MPC exclusive - I have purchased the cards I have from him"

Did you pay £90???

No, thats the reply  got from Anne when i asked about the card!

Really?

There are 2 on that I can see now - one by MPC:

And one by abcd - fairly famous seller but I don't know where they got this from unless they bought from Richard to resell:

But I can't see any at $255 - if there are then the milky bars at the next Memorabilia will have to be bought by Richard!

Here is the link to the $255 one:

I have one of these!!

I've been looking to see what they go for on ebay but I hadn't seen any so I didn't know what it was worth. For a card from this set 475 as a total is a low number, but that's still quite a good price. I saw this one over the weekend too:

;D I wonder whether to list it - can anyone help me as I am not very good with PCs  :-\

I'll send you a PM, you can have some/all of my code from my auctions if you like, it's not brilliant but it serves its purpose.

 :)

I'll ask where you got the card too :P

Thanks, and Roz can I have your email address so that I can send you a scan of it and could you possibly include that in the listing please?
