The card is mint of course - the scratch on the bottom of the front of the card is on the case it's in and it is not coming out of there til I find it a safer home...

This is the first HP card I have seen/owned and yes they are the same size as LOTR, but no the thickness of the props is disturbingly thin!

The space where the foil numbering of the card goes on the back (above artbox's symbol) is slightly matt, as though to ensure the foil sticks better.

Any other comments anyone?

I've rung you!

The problem with announcing that I had bought it was that the seller said "if we have one spare it will go out in the post tonight and you will be charged", they didn't confirm at all!

So I got to Mark's place this morning (it is his birthday today) yet I was the one with the great present... admittedly he had some great presents too!

R

Myyyy preciousss it came to me on Mark's birthhday... oops, wrong movie/book

Some pics of the birthday boy with the new card:

Such a small card... I can't believe the incredible amount of money that is spent on these cards  Grin. I was looking at my LOTR cards and calculating how much I'd spent on them. Hmmm... no wonder I was feeling hungry for about 3 months last year Grin

Makes me feel guilty... almost
