That there are substantial amounts of money being handed over for a tiny piece of costume/prop and yet most autograph cards (exception Hermione, Sirius, Dumbledore) are going very cheap - BINs of $30-60 for alot of them. Reversal of LOTR I guess where costumes went for relatively cheap (Exception Arwen, Frodo, Aragorn) and autographs prices went crazy. Those people that poo-pooed costume cards are going crazy over a Ron/Harry 100 costume card. Imagine people paying $200 for a TT sam costume if it was limited to 100  :P

And what are you all doing up so late  :) Its 9am here now and I am frantically typing up a presentation due at 11. I hope I can get through it with 2 hours of sleep  ::) Wish me luck!

GOOOOD LUCCKKK

But I think the difference with this is the "screen worn" aspect!

I think many of the autos are currently undervalued... I don't mean Hermione ;)

And some props.. people are scrambling so hard for the rare that some are going unnoticed!

Huh, you have no idea how much I wish it was Monday 12am now... then I could get some more sleep. Don't know why you're complaining...  ::)

I'll pretend I didn't see that. *grabs coffee and starts eating it out of the jar*. ;D

I don't know if you collect sports cards at all, but the big deal in football (sorry american fb) baseball, basketball & Hockey are cards that have a jersey swatch along with an autograph from the player.

 Just like HP - the lower the numbering the more the card commands.  Multiple color swatches = more $

I have an extensive collection of sports cards, but have found the HP & LOTR cards fascinating so I have been concentrating on those.

Oh, by the way any guesses what a Harry Potter Robe card of /100 that also had an auto on the card would go for????

Easily... do you reckon we are going to get a spate of tricksey ebayers finding a copy of Dan's sig, scrawling them on the costume cards and sell them off as such? I remember a couple of these with the Topps LOTR set... I guess it would be a bit more difficult as access to the HP actors especially the famous trio of DR, EW and RG would be more restricted and a flood of 'autographs' would seem dodgy. But who knows? ???

But do you reckon it'd be different with a limited edition /100 or maybe even /750 and Daniel Radcliffe auto? With TT Sam costumes, you would have to PAY someone to buy it from you... and also sean signed 3 series already and Daniel none as of yet...

i think if you could get a phot of them holding the card with number it would be big money but u would need a good camera

True, having numbered cards is a good way of making sure you get what is pictured. Imagine this though:

Me: HI Dan, could you please sign this card?
DR: Sure, do you have a pen?
Me: here you go... thanks. Now can I have a photo with you and the card?
DR: No problem
Me: Now, can you hold the card up to the camera, no - a bit closer, higher, tilt it to the left, errr... slightly lower, hang on , pull it back again. Perfect.
DR: *looks at me crazily* OK
Me: *takes photo* darn the number didn't come up! We'll have to try that again. Dan? Dan? Where'd he go???

if they are anything like craig parker thats, just how it would go and am shore some of those that have been to NEC would agree. we spent over 10mins having photos with 3 actors from.

Talking of craig parker, i have just sorted all of my Collectormania 5 pics and this is one of many photos he had with me and he'll just stand and talk with you, even with a queue, seems to have a lot of spare time on his hands. Obviously because every signer wants to have a big queue so to take your time is the best way  ::)

i carnt help but think the moderater may move these to the photo album section LOL

even worse if they dont give craig a part in the new HP film thay will not be here at all.

ahhhhhhh! They are gorgeous! How are they looking now?

i hope some of you will get to meet them at one of the shows one day they will talk your ears off a bout the cards and movies and ill promise you you will be amazed with liam knowleadge of the cards. till then they both say hi and are in fits of giggls by being post up hear.

Well in the meantime tell them Mark and I think they are cute! And so funny in that picture which has to be entitled "hmmm"

I think Craig was in a good mood then - was that at London Expo last year - when I took Mark's photo with Craig - Parker climbed on the table to try to be taller than Mark (who's 6 foot 4!).

LOL

Great guy!

I posted it a long time ago - but I will dig it out when I go back to my place! And upload it next time I'm here :)

I was showing those photos of Craig to my friend telling her he was that elf from LOTR.
Her: Who, Legolas?
Me: No, Haldir.
Her: Mmmm... he's a bit of alright isn't he?
Me: Yeah, not bad at all!

Girls.
