  1. Whitechapel Owl's post in 66 Grand for a Ticket was marked as the answer   
    It hasn't sold for that, people make these bids on EBay to derail a sale.
     
    A few years ago the turf from the penalty spot at Old Trafford was for sale and Liverpool and Man City fans kept bidding millions of pounds.

    That's amazing, whoever made that must be a genius.

    After an enormous amount cutting, sticking, printing and trips to Hobby Craft and B&Q, I am pleased to announce that Football Agent Monopoly has been completed! 
     
    Thanks for all the suggestions for the Chance and Community Chest cards. The following people's suggestions made it into the final game.

    The board in poster form before it was mounted on to wood. 
     

     
     
    Some of the Chance and Community Chest cards, I've deliberately shown some of the tamer ones as some of them would be libellous if shown on here. (especially ones involving David Pleat and Nigel Clough).
     

     
     
    For the properties cards I replaced the 'Houses' with 'Contracts' and the 'Hotels' with 'Bonus'
     

     

     
     
    The replacement Houses and Hotels (This is the point where the costs really started to spiral out of control).
     

     
     
    The poster was cut into quarters and mounted on to 6mm MDF. The Gaffer tape round the sides protects the edges and stops the board moving around on the table.
     

     

     

     

     
     
    It's been a ridiculous waste of time in many ways but I'm happy with the finished product. If I'd realised at the start how much time and money it would have cost then I would have invented my own board game. 
     
    We had our first game on Christmas day and it seemed to go down well with the family. (I managed to buy Pele and Maradonna early in the game so was able to destroy everyone).
     
    Now that I have all the templates etc I might make a Wednesday one in the future.
     
    Cheers for the help.
