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.

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

2 frodo
2 merry
2 pippin
2 boromir

Thanks you thanks you.
wow nice cccorniv. im on ebay about 15 hours a day im suprised i didnt see that. i did happen to get 2 sealed booster boxes of fellowship of the rings for 4$ each about 2 minutes after they were listed :)
About 300 lotr auctions this week on ebay which is pretty cool. two weeks ago it was 40 auctions.
-
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.
-
now appears to be a good time to be buying ;)
-
Probably my best ebay deal was a Gandalf PG MW foil for $8 and a Quickbeam hunters MW foil for $5.
-
I got 30 packs of Dune CCG for $30 years ago. Does that count?
-
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?
-
Masterworks Foils, the special foils D put in when Shadows came out.
-
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.

Bought it for almost 4 dollars :D

im new so i dont get it :(
I heard cobracards though was a site to buy cards or a price guide? what was it
-
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
