Thanks, Nienna! That card is the best prop I've ever pulled. I'm also very happy that I won a Divination Prop #2 (/930) this week, so once it arrives, I'll have a nice mini-master prop set (excluding case incentives). Well, not quite as nice as Tower's, but still pretty good for the amount of money I put into it!

It's wonderful when you pull something as nice as that ~ I guess it's that *buzz* which keeps all of us buying more of them!  Well done on putting together a mini master prop set ... I don't plan on trying to do that, I just want to pick up some of the *cough* cheaper ones if I can!  Happy New Year!

I've been entering a lot of auctions in the price guide, and I've noticed that *cough* someone *cough* has been winning quite a few and is well on the way to putting together a good collection!  Happy New Year to you, too!

Wonder who that might be?!!  *opps* .... Busted!!  I've yet to receive a lot of them so it's still early days for me!  Oh, and I must apologise if I've been bidding against you on some of them ~ I hate doing it too ... but you know how it is ... the call of the cards, saying "Buy Me! Buy Me!" ....  Let's hope 2005 is a happy and peaceful for ALL of us!

Yes, that card must have been thrilling to pull!! That is why I still like getting boxes. A lot of times, you may get a card that is really nice like that, something you may not have been able to afford on eBay.

That's the problem, though. It's so much fun to open boxes! I'd love to get a few more, but for the same price I can buy quite a few good inserts. What to do, what to do...

I know what you mean. I keep telling myself that I am done with buying boxes, especially if I end up with a duplicate of a card I already have that doesn't go for much. However, I am going to another card show in April, and if they are there, I just don't know if I will be able to resist the urge and temptation of buying another box.....or two

That's a tough call. You could be buying a card you all ready have in that box. On the other hand, you could open it and find nothing but a Lupin jacket. I hate to malign the Lupin card. It's a very nice card, even if there are a lot of them. Although, I'm still ticked off that Artbox produced two Lupin costumes (three, if you count the two variants in the 834 card) and no Sirius costume!

Hi All, This is the first time I have ever posted in my life so I hope I'm doing this correctly. I also have been wondering why there are two Lupin costumes, But then I looked more closely at the coat costume and am wondering if the coat is actually Sirius Black's coat. In the picture, Sirius is the one facing forward not Lupin. Do you think that's a possibility? :'(

Hi Anna, Welcome to the Forum  You posted just fine. kbmum actually wrote to Artbox about that and it turns out that the two different Lupin colored jackets are two different costumes of his. She would be able to tel you better what they actually said. I hope to see you poting again sometime!

Hi Anna! There are actually two Lupin costume cards, but one of the cards has two variations. First, there's the Lupin jacket /2900. That's the tweed coat that rips as Lupin transforms. I've never seen a variant with the ripped portion of the jacket, but if someone has one, please post a scan!
The second card is commonly called a Lupin shirt /834. I wrote to Artbox about this one because I wanted to know from where the different fabrics came. It turns out that the black fabric is another jacket (maybe his cloak, robe, or the suit he wears in class) and the gray fabric is his shirt. The Artbox production department could not tell me how many of each fabric were made, other than both fabrics had a total print run of 834.
When the set was first released, a lot of us thought the Lupin jacket /2900 was part of the Sirius costume. Unfortunately, Artbox did not make an error with the card. If you look carefully at his jacket (on the card or even on the DVD), you'll see that the fabric matches the swatch in the card.
Oh well, let's hope there's a Sirius costume in the GOF set! I thought that might be the reason they didn't do one for the update. There's a lengthy scene in the book where the trio visit Sirius in a Hogsmeade cave, and Sirius is wearing the same prison uniform from when they saw him in the Shrieking Shack.

I almost bought a Malfoy robe the other week, then opened a box when I missed the auction end, and pulled the card! So it does happen... Its just so much fun opening packs, that Im beginning to weaken...
