Post by: swarmingUwithGoblins on August 29, 2008, 05:43:06 AM
Hey guys hows it going. I just wanted to let you know about my recent ebay find and what I got out of it.

I bought a collection that you could only see the one ring and a swarms in the picutre but he said 60 foils and 300 rares so i thought it was worth it to win.

Well first 3 cards is valley of the mark, gimlis helm, and some other useless cards and im thinking oh noes.

THEN BOOOM!!!! FOIL 1R1 isildurs bane! Then FOIL PATHS!! Foil morgul blade and many other foil rares!
 
Then the regular rares. OH boy I dont know where to start.
5 swarms
2 armories
2 cave trolls
2 witch king
4 gandalf fotsf
bilbo
elrond
2 celeborn
3 double shot
4 the pale blade
4 arwen fate
4 the gaffer
2 frodo
2 merry
2 pippin
2 boromir
4 galadriel
2 gwemegil
4 a promis
hides
2 lurtz
3 the one ring
4 paths!
3 cantea
1 toldea
2 morgul gates
legolas greenleaf
4 savagery to match their numbers
2 sting
2 berserker
hate
4 the last allinance of elves and men
3 morgul blades
2 gimli
2 aragorn rotn
3 aragorns bow
2 blade of gondor
4 servant of the secret fire
balrogs
saurmans
and many many more! almost all 300 are great! pretty sick find! I couldnt believe it i had paid 20 in shipping costs and saw the first 3 cards and was like **** but then to see all the foils and rares. Pretty excited.  This is one of my good finds.

How about anyone here! Tell me your stories of walking around at a fleamarket and finding a foil atar for 1$ or soemthing else pretty crazy!

Lets hear them!

EDITED BY AD.

 I just happend across it while I was on vacation, I had a typo in my search, but they had the same typo.   I'm always looking out for deals, but I'm normally looking for booster boxes or cards from specific sets, whatever set I'm into collecting at that moment.   $4 for Fellowship boxes!!!! Hate I missed that one.

I got a free box of Dr. Who cards....

The guy who owns the local game store couldn't sell them, and they were taking up space. So he grabbed all his Dr. Who boxes, shoved them at us, and told us that if we ever wanted to come back, we had to take the cards.

By the way, this is spam. Do as the mods say, not as they do. :P

While we're spamming...when someone talks about a card and refers to MW, what does that mean?

 Got it.  I got a couple of the Gandalf PG foils in my Hunter boosters today, but they were the regular 15RF29 cards. I also got a couple of the 15O5 Madril DoO which were my Masterworks for the 2 boxes I opened.  I did get a couple of The One Ring, The Ring of Doom one foil, one not. NappyKorn has dibs on them though, since I don't really collect the foils.

WOW that a big question!

CC was a website run by a man called conor brace who sold lotr cards on it. But it developed probably the most active lotr tcg website forum community on the web seeing as deciphers forums are crap and now dead. It had competitions and articles that won prizes from conor or store credit.

This forum is the remnants of the CC forum because Conor sold all his stock after ages end and only left cc running for the forums. However he lost his domain eventually and cc was no more. Thus the awesome god that is kralik set up this site and with the help of Dain all the cc-ers were contacted and forwarded here!

The link at the top "to cc" is another piece of genius created by kralik and DI. They asked conor for the wesbite url dumps and created a backup of the site for posterity for everyone to view so the CC forums arent lost.

ok cool now i know :)
Im suprised he just stopped selling cards. Its still pretty profitable if you can get good deals then resale the cards.
Do you think lotr will ever come back?
I know the hobbit movie is going to be coming out. Maybe that will jump start people to start playing again? I just wish lotr was like magic. been around forever and always will be
