He hee - you cracked very quickly Anna. Congratulations - does this take you to a master set?

Thanks.   I have all of the cards except for the two Grass prop cards, but I'm not planning on getting them (unless someone wants to give me theirs).

I got my new card from Tom today.

Well, just remember what Grandpa Joe says about money.
Only in your case it's 18.

Jeez!!! Somebody please explain to me the whole "ORANGE" foil thing. From what I understand the tins sold at SDCC contained sets that were "orange" stamped rather than regular purple foil. When i got my tin either i didnt notice a difference, or mine werent orange and i just tossed them seeing to how i already have about 30 sets. Also i see Tom has orange foil stamped promos which i didnt get with my tin?? Someone please break this down, im really confused.

Since I didn't buy the San Diego Comic Con Tin, I can't speak from experience, but in one of Tom's auction for one, the tin is supposed to contain the following:

CHARLIE & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY SAN DIEGO TIN SET. YOU GET:

- THE CARD SET DONE WITH ORANGE FOIL.
- 9 CARD FOIL CHASE SET R1 THRU R9
- MISSI PYLE AS MRS. BEAUREGARDE COSTUME CARD NUMBERED TO 720
- T1 CARD MADE JUST FOR THIS TIN

So it sounds like the orange promos are not included with the tin set.

Here's the auction I got the info from:

I would double check the base cards - they should have been shrink-wrapped as a complete set of orange foil cards (the orange and purple foil look very similar).  Also you might want to e-mail Tom for clarification on what you should have got in the tin.

I purchased a Tin at comic-con and the previous reply is correct. It is essentially the EXACT same thing as a basic 90 card set and foil set except the Charlie logo is in Orange and not Purple. Also comes with the T1 promo and the costume card. Comes in a tin with a close up of Johnny Depp on it.

With my Comic-Con 'exclusive set' I got the Purple Foil promo set, along with the tin and binder. I needed a base set and binder, so I was okay with it, though I was a little disappointed at the sale of "$50 Mystery bags". While  I got really cool prop card in mine, the binder was for Sorceror's Stone and the box was POTA Update Retail - so it didn't make any sense. Now I have a binder with no set, and a box with no binder.

Very odd...

My new retail wrapper.  I got it in the last of my 4 tins.

"Normally I'm into Potter cards, but when I heard about this Wonka thing, I laid off the Potter Cards and switched to Wonka cards"...okay, sorry, had to try it. Finally bought 1 (yes  1 ) whole box off of ebay, box #5543/6000. Not bad for one box. Pulled a James Fox as Mr. Salt autograph card (yes, I know, second most common, but I think he did well in the film ).



And a nice little prop card. Maybe not the most attractive swatch of the Wrapping Paper from Charlie's Birthday Present (#69/72), but I'm happy with it.



I mean, it's no Golden Ticket and Johnny Depp as Wonka auto card, but I think it isn't bad for only one box. 

[grecopa]

Wow, what an awesome box that was!  Will we see it on ebay, or are you keeping it?

"Normally I'm into Potter card, but when I heard about this Wonka things, I laid off the Potter Card and switched to Wonka cards".

Why didn't I think of that? 

[darthmactor]

Oh, it's a definite keeper. I'm kinda bad that way, in that unless I have multiple copies of something, I won't even trade it, let alone sell it. I'm a bad llama 

[Anna]

Congratulations Darthmactor!  What great pulls!   And from only one box!   I wouldn't sell or trade the Wrapping Paper prop either if I were you.

Bought this from the bay for $14.50 including postage. Should be a good buy since its instantly recognisable where it came from!

Does anyone have a picture of what the back of these chocolate bar wrappes look like?  I mean the actual candy bar wrapper, not the card....

[grecopa]

Thanks Kelly!!  I searched and searched and could not find anything!!!  Has anyone seen a swatch with part of the incrediants or barcode?  All I seem to see is parts of the front of the wrapper with the letters, and plain swatches. 

I do like the cards though.

That's a very nice card.   I've collected the 4 retail and 4 hobby wrapper props and none of the ones I have has a large letter like yours.  Hmmmm...  Maybe I need to replace one of my cards with one like yours.

Has anyone seen any more CATCF GOLDEN TICKET 18 cards? It seems that only three are accounted for. Anna got one from Tom, I think it's the same one he had. There was one from Australia that was offered twice and withdrawn. Tom has another one in a master set. That leaves 15 unaccounted for. I wonder where they are? Any Yakkers secretly gloating at their great luck?

Tom also has another one as a BIN auction:

And the Australian seller still has his listed as a BIN:

Well I thought I was through with collecting this set, but Mikey (Zero) thought that I needed this card too.
