Has anyone (Martyn?) picked up the Cards Inc set? 50p a pack in WHSmiths (cheaper by the box?)

61 base cards  A Front card, checklist card and 59 "puzzle-backed" cards (making up 6-piece puzzles - but how does that maths work out?) chase seems to be 12 Scratch and sniff cards: 6 Whipple Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight cards and 6 Chilly Chocolate Creme. These are also puzzle cards -  a set of the 6 make up a picture of the chocolate bar.

No, I havn't, I have nearly all of the Artbox Cards, minus Wrapping Paper and Golden Ticket so I don't know why I havnt gotten them!

I know the fun of collecting cards is pulling something like an Auto Depp out of a hobby pack etc, but if you are going for say the full set of C&TCF, wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy a full set (unless ofc you get ultra luck on cases and boxes) ?

I didn't buy any C&CF, but I did get the base set and a few inserts and an auto that I really wanted.  Same with Disney Treasures, although I have bought packs on sale at retail stores.  So my opinion is- Yes, it's cheaper for me to buy base sets of what I want and save my money to buy special inserts that I probably wouldn't pull otherwise.  *This logic does not apply to the Harry Potter cards because I always seem to want EVERYTHING, so I'm never dissapointed!*  Those are just my absolute favorites and I'll probably get at least a case.   And it's such a rush to pull a really great varient or rare card.  Harry Potter trading cards-My drug of choice.    Yeeee Haaaaa!!!!

Can anyone tell me what a box of these cards should cost?  They do look interesting.

are these values going to increase/decrease or what ?

I realise no one can tell what the future market holds, but will a auto be worth the same, more or less in the future in your eyes ?

The short-printed autos will always bring a good price, especially if Johnny Depp continues his luck with landing film roles.

Most of the rest will settle down a little bit lower than what you are probably seeing now.  If one of the signers lands a big role in something though, all bets are off.

Traditionally, non-sport autograph cards are a poor investment.  Even the early Lord of the Rings autos are suffering from devaluation to some extent right now.

Collect what you enjoy.  If you are looking for an investment then you are probably better off with mutual funds or even savings bonds.

I'm not sure.  The box refers to them as MiniMovie Cards.   I believe Martyn has more information about this set, right Martyn?

[Martyn]

Looking at the image, it looks like there all different sizes. If I win an auction Im bidding on ill be to tell you the exact size 

[RoscoLabri]

I got some with a Collect IT magazine, one of them smells of chocolate 

2 inch by 2.5 inch
or
50.8mm by 63.5

Hope that helps.

The auction says the set contains 12 scratch-n-sniff cards and that you get a chance at a movie prop candy bar.

There's are also 12 Scratch and Sniff cards inserted randomly into packs to collect.  Also see if you can find a golden ticket to win an actual movie prop of a Wonka Chocolate bar as used in the movie.

[RoscoLabri]

I may have missed the info as to where you can get these mini cards...anyone know ?

Also as I was saying, I have 4 cards and they are;

Card 1
Front side = The Show Must Go On
Back side = Part of Wonka hat, looks like it is part of a big picture.

Card 2
Front side = Squirrel Attack
Back side = Again, another picture that will help make a bigger one, this has the letters PA in the corner (Oompa I'm guessing).

Card 3
Front side = Sweet Transportation
Back side = Bottom left corner of a bigger picture, think its the Grandpa wearing his brownish suit.

Front
Back

(the outline of what looks to be a person on one of the sides pictures is the smelly bit

The card looks cool RoscoLabri.  Thanks for posting it.   Since Cards Inc. is the manufacturer of these cards, I'm assuming that they should be readily available in the UK.

[Martyn]

There available in WH Smiths in the UK for 50p a pack!

[RoscoLabri]

I thought I had seen WH Smiths mentioned somewhere in this forum 

I guess next time I go to town, I'll take a looksy in Smiths.

I received another new card today.  I like this one much better than the others.

[grecopa]

Ooooo, sparkely!

[LikORish-Spider]

New card. Part of the flower at the 11 o'clock position, I think.
At least it's not the usual all bright pink.

[grecopa]

That's really neat how they used almost all of the stuck on pieces from the box, not just the pink part. 

[Anna]

Nice one LikORish!   I've also seen some swatches of the orangey-yellow petals too.  I'm with Kelly, I like the way they made these cards using all pieces of the box (inside and outside).  There are so many variants for.
