Original PPC Cards - Black Jiffy Envelope

[Mikeyj]

Yes I think they do.

The black jiffy bag contained the protoype cards which had no scratch off panel and were sent out to only the first 333 people that responded to a question - therefore would be fairly rare. If you have all the various bits that went with it (particularly the 333 leitmark) then I'm sure some people would pay good money for it (I seem to remember that oliverkeers13 payed a fair amount for one at the time!), though with the ARG finished I don't know whether the value will have gone up or down. The relevant wiki page ishere. Would be a pretty good prize for the charity auction I reckon, particularly as each letter was unique.

Thanks guys. The charity auction would be going on here, www.warpcon.com. It's an RPG/Warhammer/TCG convention. It's student run, and the largest student run gaming convention in Ireland, if not in Europe. We've raised about €20,000 over the past two years for charity from the charity auction, and we've won an international gaming award http://www.dianajonesaward.org/06nominees.html actually beating Perplex City, so we were pretty pleased.

If the set is a no go for the auction in January, I'll probably put up an online auction for it and put the money in with the main pool.

Waiting until January risks more loss of interest. And a standalone auction of course will have trouble generating interest, but to deal with that I'd suggest waiting for the next card wave, when there'll be a lot of ebay activity, and then publicize well in the PXC communities. Unless of course there is no next wave, in which case still don't wait until January. IMHO.
