Not sure if this is the right spot to ask, because I am not asking for a trade, but I have a question I would love to have answered.  I recently purchased an Ian Holm return of the king autograph insert.  I have only collected two towers before, so I am not familiar with the protocol, but I would assume they still were only supposed to sign the front.  I was very confused to see that Ian holm signed both the front and the back of the card (the side that says authentic autograph also has his signature).  Is this normal for the ROTK set?  If not has anyone ever heard of this happening before?

there were a couple of others similar to this a while ago, not sure who owns them now. the theory was that he accidently signed the wrong side for the first few cards before realising his mistake, then signing the correct side for those few and the remainder of the cards...

edit: found a mention of one http://www.theyakshack.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=519.0

I guess since we are in the trade forum I can add if someone has been looking for one of these I would be willing to trade.  I am actually trying to put together a two towers set, but got this bilbo since he is not in two towers.

Do you have a scan of the card we could take a peek at please Todd? Grin

Ian Holm has a lovely neat signature and is one of my faves from the set - I only wish I had a TT card to trade you for it ... Undecided
