The card is mint of course - the scratch on the bottom of the front of the card is on the case it's in and it is not coming out of there til I find it a safer home...

It's money I was saving to put in an ISA (UK tax free savings plan).

 :o

I'll have to sell my Boyfriend for this - any takers?

This is the first HP card I have seen/owned and yes they are the same size as LOTR, but no the thickness of the props is disturbingly thin!

The space where the foil numbering of the card goes on the back (above artbox's symbol) is slightly matt, as though to ensure the foil sticks better.

Any other comments anyone?

I've rung you!

The problem with announcing that I had bought it was that the seller said "if we have one spare it will go out in the post tonight and you will be charged", they didn't confirm at all!

So I got to Mark's place this morning (it is his birthday today) yet I was the one with the great present... admittedly he had some great presents too!

R

Myyyy preciousss it came to me on Mark's birthhday... oops, wrong movie/book

Some pics of the birthday boy with the new card:

: Roz May 19, 2004, 10:28:42 PM
LOL My dwarfy friend; I don't have a SINGLE other card in the set so I haven't really beaten you  ;)


: Re:Heaven Save us I've beaten Gimli!
: ferdinand_the_yak May 19, 2004, 10:33:22 PM
Yeah, that still counts as one! LOL


: Re:Heaven Save us I've beaten Gimli!
: gimli May 19, 2004, 10:41:44 PM
fair enough If you put it like that Roz  :D

: ferdinand_the_yak May 19, 2004, 10:47:34 PM
Such a small card... I can't believe the incredible amount of money that is spent on these cards  ;D. I was looking at my LOTR cards and calculating how much I'd spent on them. Hmmm... no wonder I was feeling hungry for about 3 months last year ;D

Makes me feel guilty... almost

Hoi - don't you start on the guilt, you paid a fair bit for your FOTR legolas I imagine


: Re:Heaven Save us I've beaten Gimli!
: ferdinand_the_yak May 19, 2004, 10:51:57 PM
Heh, and you are saying you didn't? ;)

: gimli May 20, 2004, 01:03:08 AM
I have to admit I am starting to get worried :(


: Re:Heaven Save us I've beaten Gimli!
: lurtz May 20, 2004, 01:16:25 AM
i wouldn t worry too much its got your number on it (i do think these numbers are a good idea).

ps roz i see mark has a picture of you next to his right ear not too old by the looks of it.


: Re:Heaven Save us I've beaten Gimli!
: gimli May 20, 2004, 01:19:35 AM
I am finding it difficult to keep track of which numbers I have sold  ??? but I am a bit thick :-[


: Re:Heaven Save us I've beaten Gimli!
: samwise16 May 20, 2004, 03:35:27 AM
well you know chris, you youre finding this selling rif-raf a bit stressful, i have no problem you donating the cards to a wannabe dealer like me  :'( ;)


: Re:Heaven Save us I've beaten Gimli!
: gimli May 20, 2004, 04:19:17 AM
my wife thinks I should start a business but she would then want me to sell everything I find in the packs

I am afraid that the source of my card is also the source of all evil.....

Basically did you see the movie LOTR Return of the King?

That's me there - just after Frodo throws the ring and the pear tree card into Mount Doom, I am there catching the PT card... I actually went for the one ring but somehow caught the wrong one!

 :-X

I never knew that Gary Glitter was dealing in HP ... ;D


: Re:Heaven Save us I've beaten Gimli!
: samwise16 May 21, 2004, 01:25:39 AM
Roz do you know if Frodo will be throwing in any more Pear tree leaf cards..give some of us a chance  ;D


: Re:Heaven Save us I've beaten Gimli!
: Roz May 21, 2004, 01:36:04 AM
(this seems to cruel)

With 4 fingers, I think his throwing days are over!

OK OK OK enough!
