Well done! I never went in for the LOTR costume cards, but I do like that one...the only two I got were TTu Faramir and Sam, in the one box  ::)

I never thought I would go for them either, but I now have a Faramir and Eowyn from that set as well. Oh and a ROTK Elrond. But that's it. Really. :P ;)

So just the ones you really really want then...thats a good idea. I also have Trilogy Pippin, with gold thread through it. Ive never actually bought a costume card, got mine from boxes...

Same here, most through boxes (got two Eowyn's Edoras Stable Dress costume cards from the same box...that was a bit weird). Even though they are 'pieces used in the making of', I still think most of the LOTR costume cards, with one or two exceptions, are still lovely.

I pulled the Eowyn from a box and the Faramir from a guaranteed mem pack. Elrond I bought as I love Hugo Weaving and am never going to get his auto :'(

I love your Galadriel... I have had two (one bought, the other pulled from a box) but ended up selling both in my auto cull :-[

Two great cards ;D

Jo, does your have some silver lines?


: Re: My New Card
: ferdinand_the_yak February 20, 2006, 06:52:46 AM
I'm not sure - they look like gold to me. I see the 2 near the bottom and what might be one at the top of the swatch. But for what I bought it for, I am not complaining regardless of the colour ;D

bummer  :-[ ive wanted one for ages, but they have been harder and harder to get; this one was an aussie seller, and I had no competition for it  ;D

I just noticed, the pic above from the auction is not the actual card that I got-the auto on mine is nicer, and within the signing space...

This is what my actual Galadriel card looks like, as it is quite different from the scan in the auction (first post above)

I like this one better :)


: Re: My New Card
: blackcat20 February 25, 2006, 04:07:07 PM
Me too. The sig in nicer (neater), and within the ring. So for once is was better to not get the card shown in the auction.  ;D

The ink looks black in the first one, or at least blue-black. Could be the scan, too.


: Re: My New Card
: Roz February 26, 2006, 03:18:45 AM
Yeah that's a beauty! Well done you! It's rare to get a BETTER sig than you see in the scan :rofl:

It's quite simply one of the nicest FOTR Galad's I've seen


: Re: My New Card
: ferdinand_the_yak February 26, 2006, 06:58:18 PM
It IS the nicest I have seen - I love the way the 'C' curls at the top. Beautifully centred and very neat too... now if they showed the actual card on the auction, you may have had a bidding war on your hands ;)
