Just a heads-up that the Oxford store Boswells is not selling the cards. They've never heard of the cards. They don't want to hear about the cards. They have no plans to stock the cards. No, they're really not interested in the cards, thank you very much, how about you stop coming in every other day?

I've emailed mind candy, and will try the other place in this rather damp city later this week.

Well Juxta, you're just going to have to change it again. While Boswell's in Oxford doesn't admit to selling the cards, they appear to keep a box of them at *one* of the two counters in the games section of the store purely for their aesthetic value. And here is the visual evidence:

Third Power agents are obviously at work in this city...

Well...I found them in Boswell's and took the picture on December 2nd, so they've been hiding them for a while!

I need more near me. It is now my swarn duty to get a store in Boston to sell them. I'll bribe them if I have to. And as someone said before "I'll make it worth their while."

Hi - saw a shop in Altrincham today - sadly can't remember the name, but it's on Greenwood Street, near Jamfish.

HTH, Stew

Could it be "The Gaming Crypt" at 44 Greenwood Street, Altrincham? If so, let me know and I'll get it put on the list...


Cheers

Yep, that's it Juxta - I remember it now you nudged my memory - box nestling gently on the shelf in the window.

Lol - you obviously Google better than me +"trading cards" +greenwood +altrincham didn't get it (or i didn't follow the right links) - tried again & eventually +game +greenwood +altrincham got it. I wouldn't have persevered if I hadn't suspected that was how you found it.

Maybe I'm not cut out for this ARG stuff, lol Wink
