Definitely feel gutted for you Nick. It's a horrible feeling to miss out on something, especially when it's through something stupid like the internet!!

But we've gone from 0-5 or more of these cards in less than a year, so who knows how many more may turn up for sale. Hopefully enough for me to get one too one day!

There are certainly nicer/rarer cards out there than the VCJ, though I admit it had now become an iconic piece. A Palitoy ESB Jawa would be cool find if you can get one 8)

Now that the auction has finished and the VCJ sold on I'm wondering if there's any more information about it from the original owner? Maybe all we know about it (it being bought fairly recently at an auction fair), is all the story there is but any other details would be good to hear.

Oh and well done Jason for all the work you put into this thread. I didn't manage to catch up with the auction until after it had ended so reading the pages of this thread from about 6 onwards without knowing the outcome was like being in the room. The drama with the internet going down just added to it all…….and I thought Gravity was tense!
