I started tracking this PTL card number thing as well. I sent the winner of a PTL an e-mail. Here is his verbatim reply:
>>hi john, sorry for the delayed response i have been away and not picked up my emails. the pear tree leaf card i have is unnumbered. I got it from sky high comics. He said it was authentic. I got it checked out and its just been missed off 0he numbering. I have shown a few people and they sayits authentic. So a 1 of a kind. I know two other pear tree leaf cards. MPC have one and Cards inc. i saw this at the nec memorabilia in april. cheers, paul <<
UNNUMBERED!!!!!!!! Imagine that. I wonder how many of these things are running around loose?

Ooh this was a whole can of worms... stand by we have some threads on this I'll find for you. Here you go - I doubt the ebay link still works, but the seller is the same that your friend mentions  http://www.theyakshack.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=479.0 |

Yes, i remember this card. Maybe you find the discussions here anywhere. There hasn't been many who talked about the card in a positive way. I wouldn't like to have an unnumbered card. Although it was so cheap. Not good.  |

So, I guess the bottom line is that the card never sold and has not been heard of since.

I won't name names to protect the innocent (both parties will read this), but I remember when POA first came out, and the very first Buy-It-Now listing (still the "low" in the price guide) underestimated the eventual value. I admit that I spent some time figuring out when this seller posted during the day, and checking for new items for a while in an attempt to see them first, even though I wasn't supposed to be doing that from my computer at work. I didn't see any bargains like that one. But I will remember becoming aware of the value of time zones, and do check for new U.K. listings when people are awake over there but it's still 4 a.m. in the eastern U.S. |

Yep, time zones are important. It's great to be a stay at home mom and find an auction ending at 9:00am est. Not many people on the east coast are checking for stuff at that hour, and most on the west coast are not up yet or getting ready for work. |

I agree, all of these first release POA release cards are nice. I love the Honeydukes bag variant!

Maybe my name could be added to the list besides #18.....I have waited nearly 2 years, to finally see one of these come up for auction...although again due to the new COS set the timing isn't of the greatest for me or I suppose other would be buyers $1500 is one hell of a starting bid.....why not 99 cents and get some interest in the card  ?? |

Once again, the dreaded "US Only" shipping rears it's ugly head  Is there anyone in the US who would be prepared to bid for me? Not for the Pear Tree card, but for others from this seller. Please pm me if you have the funds and the trust  |

If Artbox could give birth, it would be a redemption with the real one arriving 9 months later
The Artbox website is so old, Indiana Jones has started looking for it
Tutankhamun went on the Artbox website and saw it was out of date

I'd love to know who is selling off a POA master set. It would break my heart to sell the cards I have from that set.
The pear tree leaves card that's currently for sale originally sold for $1775 on May 31, 2004.
