What sold for so much was Palace of the Vampire Queen.  The other items were a $20+ lot.

Well, I was bidder #1, and I know there were a few others here who noticed it.   :wink:

Wow! Nice looking lot with some items that don't come up very often. With the PotVQ included I would have thought it would have gone for more  8O


Oh rats, I actually saw that auction, but I didn't notice the PotVQ.  :(

I noticed it the day it popped up but I didnt notice the PotVQ right away.  When I realized that Steven had bid on it I was thinking "why in the world is he bidding on that pile of shit?".  Then I looked a bit closer.

I put in a token bid just for the hell of it.  I'm kinda surprised it went as high as it did.

me n stephen were onto this right at the start literally within minutes, and discussed it. i wasnt going to bid so he would have a chance of bidding for it, but somehow knew that there was no chance in hell that ppl would miss it.

well there we go.

actually it does look a little ruffled so maybe the price is about right. the rest of the lot tbh, is just clutter.

Speaking of letting one get away:

I put in a cheapy tracer bid and then forgot totally about it. :?

I think I won that set.  The Tac Cards weren't complete...maybe 2 missing, IIRC.  

If you're interested, though, I'm ready to get rid of them.   :D

I think some others would be interested in the Tac Cards.

Slightly off topic: I've been thinking of putting mine in those sleeved binder sheets but I think I need the 6 or 8 pocket (9 ones are to small). Anyone know of a cheap place to get these online.

I've got TAC cards going up soon too. I think they're incomplete. I'd sell my complete set, but JG has always been my favorite.

I totally lost track of this auction until it was too late.  Someone got a pretty nice looking 5th print set:

We never got around to doing the statistics, but that poll I ran way back over a year ago seemed to indicate that the 5th print set was owned by fewer members than the vaunted 4th print set.
