Someone give Gary Smith a nudge?

[Joe]

Was gonna PM him but he might not see it in time!

Only ever seen 2 of these!

Amazing. :shock:

Hope Gary gets it.

 

[weasel]

£500 starting bid!? :shock:

 

[Joe]

It is incredibly rare, I don't wanna speak for Gary on the price but in that condition he probably won't find another one in the next 5-10 years !

The only other one that was discussed was this from the 90's in one of Chris G's scrap book pages (so thats 2 in 15 years pretty much)

 

[weasel]

Fair enough.

Good luck if you go for it Gary!

 

[spoons]

nice piece, but bear in mind rare in 1995 doesn't necessarily mean rare in 2010

 

[ODB]

Not to mention that a lot of this guys stuff is very expensive/overpriced.

 

[Joe]

When this piece was recently discussed not even Stephane had seen one and was a bit taken back at the old 95 ad, I think its a wicked piece and in great condition, I wouldn't pay that for it but its still awesome.

People pay similar for the AT-ST / DSC combo as well, I hear a few are currently searching high and low and will pay whatever it takes!

Edit - my mistake he had it listed but I don't think he owns one (stephane)

Its a nice misscard, and definately a rarer peice.

The guy has some other peices up for silly amounts (last 17 tri's for instance) so im not sure if he's 'trying it on' with prices or wether he's a prat lol.

Im not sure how unrealistic the price of this is tbh, i could see someone paying a hefty price if they REALLY wanted it.

Now his tri logos are a different story, £399 for a imperial gunner :shock:

 

[weasel]

Now his tri logos are a different story, £300 for a imperial dignitary :shock:

:shock: Does it come with a free blow job from the woman of your dreams, and a house!??

 

[edd_jedi]

Over priced but SO cool, never seen that combo before 8)

 

[**Delboy75**]

sorry i meant imperial gunner, but still £399 lmfao

That is really very cool. Does a Matrix exist for common/uncommon miscards? Are there ever new combos found? Would I be correct to say the value is increased in this case by the sheer ludicrousness of this particular combo? Like the R2 sensor on R2 pop up light saber card is kind of understandable so the price of such an item isnt so high?

Wait till you get your book you will love it

 

[e30318is]

Which book matey? Kellerman or Meccano to Trilogo?

 

[Joe]

Meccano to trilogo Ed

 

[e30318is]

Sorry Joe.....long day. Cant wait for that book to come!!! Love the miscards, its nice to see other people **** up too :lol:

 

[Joe]

LMAO!

There is a nice checklist of known combinations and a write up as to what they are and why there are certain combinations etc, I use that book every other day to be honest its great. Never put it down since I got it.

 

[Capetown]

What I want to know is: did that nudge take place?

 

[Joe]

I thought the same myself Emiel lol

I don't have Gary's email and with all he's been through lately I don't know if he's checking the boards frequently so maybe not, I hoped someone else who was in closer contact with him actually pass the message on! Fingers crossed
