The Yak Shack Forum

Hi guys

The GOFU price guide is starting to come together - we are only entering things once we have seen them/pulled them ourselves to be sure that they exist and to be sure that the code numbers etc are all correct.

You can take a look here

http://www.theyakshack.co.uk/tradingcards/index.php?page=cardlist&set=18

If you see a card without a picture and you can provide a good scan, please help out, either post it here or PM me. I'm temporarily on 56k internet so please bear this in mind.

Ideally send a 270x380 pixel scan which is the perfect resolution for the guide (make sure you get portrait for portrait cards or landscape for landscape cards) but I can resize and watermark anything so any scan will do :D

Cheers

Roz

Any ideas why I am just getting the red crosses for some (including the most important one  :rofl: )  :-\

As I said before - we don't have pics for them all ;) that's why I was asking for decent sized pics :P

Dawn you totally threw me - I was like "but the Quad and Harry are up... what's she thinking".... "DAVID TENNANT"

 :rofl: :rofl:

Oh I thought if there was no pic it wouldn't show me the red cross. Lol you should know me  ::)  have you got the picture yet? Because for some reason I saved it, not sure why  0:)

Thanks very much - to everyone - Dawn, Jackie, Cindy, Anna, Jennifer,  Tom and everyone else who I've forgotten for the scans, we are certainly getting there:

(some incentives now included ;))

You can use my C14 scan for the Price Guide. :)

EDIT:  Hey Roz, are you going to add the box-topper sets to the Price Guide also?

So Anna! I have to ask! Have you smelled this one yet? Does it smell like anything?  :-\ :rofl:

You lost me Jackie, are you asking me if I smelled the card? ???

The material swatch!! You know, underwater smell!  :rofl: Or was this "material used to make" costume.

Sorry! :-[ Didn't mean to confuse.  :-[ Just envisioning a smell for some reason!  :rofl:

Wonderful *scurries off to Priceguide*

P.S. Wet wool - MMMmmmmmmmmmmm (NOT)

The card says "... authentic costume material worn by Dan Radcliffe..."

I just smelled it for you, it smells like the all other cards - like ink. ;)

Careful, Anna.  This could end up like our conversation about Superman's briefs. :rofl:

Hmmm...  The material could possibly be from Harry's swimming trunks. :o   :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

*Men all over America - suddenly put down their C14s.*

*and pm me because I don't have one*  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I dont remember Harry's shorts being red :rofl:

But maybe the lining was red. ;)  :rofl:

The top was red and the bottom was black.  Men all over America are now putting the C14s back into their collections.

Speaking of smell,  ::)  I noticed that the smell of the cards was different when I opened my box.  Must be because they were packaged at a different factory.  Just a weird thing I noticed.   :P

Wow those wand cards are amazing!! Too bad they'll be worth a gazillion

It wasn't becuase you got someones trunks then ;)

I noticed the same thing!  :P It was my thought also that they were packaged somewhere else!  :-\ I liked the smell of the other place better!  :rofl: :rofl:

Kate - take note - smell our case when it arrives :rofl:

will do  :rofl:

Damn...the previous artbox smell was intoxicating..made me card-crazy....what am I going to do now  :rofl:

Maybe that's it - a cure for our madness at long last! Now I can put my money towards things like holidays and a car... like normal people do :rofl:

 :rofl:   :rofl:   :rofl:

It is true though, my cards had an odd smell too.  ::) Also, just so everyone knows, the cards were sticking together pretty badly--make sure you check that you're not throwing away an auto or something.   :-\

What I wouldn't give to sniff a card right now  :'( :'(  Will they ever reach the UK  :'( :'(

I double checked all of my base cards when I sorted them, because mine stuck together, too.  Unfortunately, there was no hidden quad or Dan. :)  I think the finish feels weird.

I know  me too :'(

Has anyone seen any GoFU wand props on EBay yet?

No, there wasn't any yet.

Hey Roz! Are you soliciting scans of card backs this time too?

Here's the Mad-Eye case-topper, boxtopper set, and the puzzle back for the foils.

Hi Roz was checking out  :ebay: and saw at least 4 ..10 case Voldermort up for auction but they are at 155 print not a 230 print in the price guide....Maureen

Cheers, we were trusting Julio :P  I THOUGHT it was rather higher than the GOF Monolith trophy 10 case incentive ;)

Hi Roz,

Over the weekend I saw a quad card go for £361 a little lower than the average on the guide list just thought I would mention it incase you never saw it.

Cheers

Paul

Hi Paul, yup I'm really very aware of that auction (good one John ;D) but some eagle eyed member has already entered it into the guide ;D so all's well and up to date.

No worries!!! :D ;D

Cheers

Paul

I just wanted to give Anna a HUGE shout out and thank you for all the hundreds of auctions she's been entering - especially with GOFU hitting ebay hard.  I'm having a tough time finding auctions she (and others) haven't already entered...

Quite right too. It's Anna's endless enthusiasm and hard work that is a HUGE part of the key to the success of the guide ;D

Even before she made her first post on the forum she had entered more than 100 ended auctions into the guide :o what a trooper!

Before I discovered the Shack and the Price Guide, I was maintaining my own database of Harry Potter cards in an Excel spreadsheet.  When I discovererd the Price Guide, it was easy for me to start adding the auctions into the Price Guide instead of my spreadsheet.  I've collected many sets over the past few years, but Harry Potter cards will always be my favorite cards to collect. ;D
