This is on ebay at the moment.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6233707082&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

It's definately not a 1/1. I've got one!  Grin. Maybe it's a 1/2.

I'll be very surprised if it sells.
Anyone reckon they know where the piece of material came from. I'm guessing the collar.

It's Charlie material on a Shannon swatch so I've been told.  It's not a variant, it's a mistake...

Sorry, but it is not Charlie material, at least from none of my examples.
I have one as well and the material is a completely different weave and texture than the Charlie material.
My Charlie variants are posted on the same link.
I posted my three variants of this on the LOST thread. Check it out.

I posted this on Dec 6.

I agree it's not a 1/1 or 1/2; it's at least a 1/3. Rather pretentious to blare out 1/1 on the auction when the set is so new, don't you think?
Seller hype, I guess. Sell the SIZZLE, not the meat.

He's shipping via Express Airmail.  The USPS shipping calculator says the exact cost of shipping this way is $17 to Australia and $20 to the UK.  The service offers online tracking and the package is automatically insured up to $100.  It sounds to me that he's had some problems with international deliveries and this shipping method offers some protection.

Yeah I never quite know what to ask for in the way of insured postage from the States Smiley Is this EMS?

Well I have been advised that this "black" swatch is neither an error, nor is it unique - compare it to the one that has been posted on the Inkworks website:

http://www.inkworks.com/products/lost/lost1/lost1pieceworks.html

Very similar!

It's possible that there's a lot of cases unopened yet, and of the PW-3 cards I have had both have seemed to have quite a different texture and colour, so I wouldn't like to say that anything is really a variant at this stage.

Fair enough then if it is EMS... I just read airmail and translated it as plain airmail Roll Eyes
