Hi folks!

I have *a friend* with some spare autos (ok ok I admit it's me)... just 2 (I only have 2 autos but now after someone backed out of a deal I have 2 of the same auto... twice... well I picked up the Rosemerta at C6 but it was too good a deal to miss!!!

What would you/are you all doing with your spare autos!

I am wondering whether we should be saving them... and that we can use the money when the chamber of secrets or Goblet series come out to buy boxes! Because these autos are all far rarer than FOTR Merry (not that I am expecting them to reach such prices) but I do think there may be some potential still. I believe people like Sirius/Oldman are unlikely to sign again... but you never know Wink

Or do you think that there are just SO MANY pricey cards in this set that they will remain about where they are?

Opinions folks please  Grin!

and if it helps you to make my decision for me... these are the skates of beauty... yes the colours are nasssty but wow do they move... and so manoevrable... look at that short frame/chassis... oops - sorry to go on..

I say sell and grt those lovely skates. I mean, cards are nice to look at, but after spending continuous afternoons drooling over them, you will be hideously unfit due to lack of exercise. Thats is where skates will come in handy Grin

I may be interested in the auto(s) you are thinking of perhaps selling. PM me if/when you decide - I think you have my details Wink

Get the skates... I'm sure you'll get more use out of them than spare autos!

Definitely sell the cards and buy your skates!  What are the autos?  From what I've seen, the prices for autos have fluctuated a bit but are still pretty high.  With three sets coming out next year, who knows what autos will be available, and what that will do to prices for the POA set.

OK OK

 Grin

Sirius and Rosemerta!

You'll have to wait a while for Rosemerta as I just sent her to America to be redeemed!

If you are interested just PM me an offer - or I can just keep them and see what happens to prices  Grin

(then you will see me at the end of the street offering them for 50pence to a passer by  Wink)

Trades also welcome with update autos/props/costumes/film cards  Cheesy

I have some spare  autographs, props and costumes. And i do'nt know if i should sell or keep them.

I only keep my auto master and did not need all other stuff.

I think i will hold the other cards to trade for update autographs..... but eventualy i sell them and buy update boxes........ hard decision

 Huh

Roz!!!! I suggest u get the skates Wink you'd have more use with a nice pair of skates such as those rather than an auto card, well, thats what my parents would say, but they don't know much about the value of cards Smiley
