8 hours left. 46GBP at the moment. Out of my price range unfortunately.

You don't say.......

That'll teach me for not reading the whole thread.:confused:

Just trying to be helpful.

As long as you are not the same guy who just outbid me on the Feebury "stamp":veryangry :veryangry :veryangry :veryangry :veryangry :veryangry :veryangry :

Don't think you need to be a genius to work that out ;)

Axie isn't party to the 'gentleman's agreement' not to bid against each other that exists between a few of us regular Palace ebayers (neither has he even been asked if he would like to join to my knowledge).

Fair enough, and I wasn't being that serious. Indeed I was outbid on a 1990 replica home cup final shirt (not the one in the last few days) by an ebayer called Aprussell. Fair do's I suppose - that's the whole point of ebay - it's a buyers market (as illustrated by the barmy prices you have to pay to get some of the decent stuff on there these days!)

Yes sorry Dorking, as Neil cleverly deduced that was me, I didn't realise it was you (although maybe if I'd put two and two together I could have worked it out).

I do try and not to bid now if I do recognize the id but in this case I was going through quickly and put a bid in. If it's any consolation I paid over the odds for it.

No probs, wasn't the end of the day, these sort of things have a habit of turning up again from time to time anyway.

Wonder what the Pattreiouex casket card ended up going for????

£46 !!!!!!

That's bonkers!

Well if it makes you feel better DE - I didn't win it, as the price was going far too high and I stopped :)

Perhaps some people here should use there BBS logon as their e-bay account so that we know who's who and don't outbid each other ;)

From what I've seen most of us do.

The last one on there had a Wrighty signature on there (not that it made any difference to me) and went for £155.
Thing that was most attractive to me about it is the lack of pulls/bobbles which is rare, as most would have been worn and therefore been imperfect.

God knows what one of the "Number ten" authentic cup final replica shirts would go for if if was ever on there - I'd guess £800+

I cant remember what my shirt cost me from the club i think it may have been as little as £50 . That was one of my better investments , wearing it all the time was not a good idea though.To be honest thought it had a pull on it when I purchased it and it was the last one.

bought a load of top trumps recently and foud a couple of palace players in the lot .

mike flanagan , jim cannon, ken sansom and 3 different vince hilaires.
are there any more out there that anyone knows about?

these are the cards

I just have, stumbled that is! I have some cards at work. no idea what they are - the techie stuff is for boys! But anyone is welcome to them if they want. Someone at work collected them when he was a kid and was chucking them out so he gave me the Palace ones.

I'm not in tomorrow but will bring them home on Tuesday then post on here to say what they are. Anyone can have them who's interested

Ok, I have no idea what I'm talking about, as will become immediately apparent, but these things mean nothing to me. I'm happy to post the cards to anyone who wants them. Alternatively, I'll put them in the bin! I don't know how to post pictures on here, but I can scan and send by e-mail if that would help anyone.

I have: A&BC cards (no obvious date) for Gerry Queen (164), Mel Blyth (186), John McCormack (149), John Sewell (206), Bobby Tambling (250), Peter Wall (254), Jim Scott (105), Alan Birchenall (236), David Payne (169) and John Jackson (126). Condition varies but most are OK.

Then I have some others where I can't see anything to identify a maker and no date. They're smaller than the A&BC ones, if that's any help! Two are the same design for Alan Birchenall (46) and David Payne (16). Then there is a Don Rogers (88) one in a slightly different design. These are a bit more dog eared and grubby than the others.

Hope that makes some sense!

Hi there
these are fairly common cards to most established Palace card/sticker collectors.

What might be nice is I seem to remember John Sewell (now living in USA) was looking for a set of cards featuring the Palace team he played in (presumably to frame) , and advertised this request in Palace echo classified about 2 years ago.

I got in correspondence with his son (in usa too) and I think he is still on the lookout for this set, and so I can think of no better recipient

I've still got his address at home, I'll dig it out tonight and pass it to you via pm.
