Speculation on the Update Box

[Guest]

Anyone heard any rumors on the HP Update box?

I talked to a dealer today who said they were going to be pretty limited much like this release.

You would think a lot of prop cards
Maybe some of the teachers costume cards.

When you think about it there are many characters they can choose from that haven't even been included in this release.

Lots of potential to do it right, but what about new auto's.... who would they get...or would they have the same people sign again that would probably affect the auto's from this set.

I have heard Aug from someone
Sept from someone else
Oct from another
Any one heard about estimated release date?

Is anyone here worried about overkill with this set.....Artbox are releasing this set plus the Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets sets....how much can people afford and how long will it be before people get peeved??
Will there be an update set for those two as well?!

PS I don't collect Potter cards (Thank God!!) but this is more of a general observation!

I can't help but agree with Ed.

Yep..it could well be Topps-syndrome

if it is noly 500 cases again then I don't think we have too much to worry about

As long as the quality of the sets remain high and the signature cards are not signers that 98% of the fans could care less about (Figwit and Mark Ordesky)  then I think there will always be plenty of demand for the Harry Potter cards.  They might not always be the same people, but even if they went to 10,000 boxes in each set there are millions of Harry Potter fans.  People will just have to be more selective of which cards they decide to add to their collection and realize they can't have them all.  But there are so many more signers possible for the update sets they have to do them:

Daniel Radcliffe ....  Harry Potter    
Richard Griffiths ....  Uncle Vernon
Fiona Shaw ....  Aunt Petunia
Harry Melling ....  Dudley Dursley
Adrian Rawlins ....  James Potter
Geraldine Somerville ....  Lily Potter
Lee Ingleby ....  Stan Shunpike
Rupert Grint ....  Ron Weasley  
Chris Rankin ....  Percy Weasley
Julie Walters ....  Mrs. Molly Weasley  
Mark Williams ....  Mr. Arthur Weasley
David Bradley ....  Argus Filch
Alan Rickman ....  Professor Severus Snape  
Maggie Smith ....  Professor Minerva McGonagall    
Robbie Coltrane ....  Rubeus Hagrid    
Tom Felton ....  Draco Malfoy
Emma Thompson ....  Professor Sybil Trelawney  
Warwick Davis ....  Wizard

I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.  As long as the updates sets are even close to how good this set is I will be happy.  I don't want to see a set like topps FOTR update with a costume card ( or at lease a piece of material that might have been scraps from making the costume)  in each box (that can be cherry picked) and nothing else.  Just my thoughts on the matter

It's all about keeping the set fresh and exciting

And from the rumour I have heard about the update set I think it's going to be both fresh AND exciting!
