| Well this has never happened to me before on ebay, I was browsing around just now and I saw a Leia Poncho coin offer, I remember owning one so it made me click the link, it suddenly looked even more familiar, something about that green Walmart sticker .... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1983-rotj-princess-leia-77-back-boba-fett-offer-n-mint-/110606614658?pt=UK_ToysGames_ActionFigures_ActionFigures_JN&hash=item19c0ab0082#ht_500wt_1156 I had a check of my photobucket account and sure enough its the same one I owned maybe 5-6 years ago!! lol Still looks as nice it did when I owned it but wow.. weird feeling seeing it for sale on ebay, I always wondered what happened to my old carded figures and now I know the fate of one! Has this ever happened to you? Sometimes things change hands fast on the forum but what about over a period of years? For me this suddenly reminds me of the collection I once had and brought back a lot of memories of buying up lots of carded figures each week on ebay...good times |

Nice encounter!
What happened to all the other cards on the pic? You sold them off after deciding to focus on 8D8?

| No I sold them during some tough times actually I financed a trip to Romania with some, then when I got back home to the uk my wife didn't have a job for 6 months so the collection had to go, I pieced out everything I had on ebay. I did almost sell my loose set but the day it was going to go, I called my wife from work and told her to do whatever she could to stop it lol, it was at 740 quid I think and she used her ebay account to bid 1300 lol! After that I kept my loose set and didn't think I would keep on collecting really but I just wanted to keep something, I kept one foot in the door though by using the forums from time to time and when finances were better I started thinking about how to get back into things but on a small scale, a figure focus would give me direction and something small to work on. I never really had goals before that- just bought whatever I saw. Let me tell you, a figure focus starts off small then gets big lol (at least in terms of prices..) |

| Yes I remember that auction, I though I would win with $740 and all of a sudden..... Seriously, that must have been hard times to be forced to sell off your collection. Good that you kept your loose collection! |
