The 3 boxes I opened this morning were my rewards. I got to open 1 boxes for finally sorting all of my base sets from the 4 cases I opened last month. The other 2 boxes were my reward for re-entering auctions back into the Price Guide. The Wizard Candy card was in the 3rd box, in the next to the last pack I opened.  |

Thanks I will be adding the Fizzing Whizzbee eyeball card to my Trade/Sell list in Diagon Alley. If anyone is interested, send me a PM.  EDIT: It appears that my trade list is missing from Diagon Alley.  It must have gotten deleted when we had the hosting problem.  I will create a new list and post it in Diagon Alley later today. |

Thats a wonderful card Anna! Just a question though...is it usual to find stress marks in a wizard candy swatch? I just pulled a fantastic Fizzing Whizzbees card (the "ZZ" of Fizzing) and I just wanted to make sure it doesnt de-value the card? Anyway Ive opened 8 boxes and here is what I have gotten: Male students Gryffindor jumper Female students skirt Hagrid's shirt Fluffy's Fur Wizard Candy Practice Broom Daily Prophet (nice card with just a floral type pattern on it) Josh Herdman as Gregory Goyle Adrial Rawlins as James Potter Alfred Enoch as Dean Thomas (covered in fingerprints when I got to it - wonder if they were Alfred's? ) Luke Youngblood as Lee Jordan Harry with wand filmcard (cells are vault 713) Harry being sorted filmcard (cells are vault 713) About a million foil sets, lol. So really nothing out of the ordinary which Im a little disheartened about but Ive still got 2 boxes to go. Just a couple of Q's...when I put my 50pt cards in the screwdowns no matter how hard I try the lid wont sit flat. Is it because the screw isnt straight? Also is it usual to find auto cards with fingerprints on them as I knew they couldnt be mine because I was htumbing through them wearng cotton gloves.  |

Anyway Ive opened 8 boxes and here is what I have gotten: Thanks I have some creases in my Wizard Candy swatches. I don't think it de-values the card since the props were supposed to have been used in the movie, so in reality, the swatches shouldn't be perfect. Just a couple of Q's...when I put my 50pt cards in the screwdowns no matter how hard I try the lid wont sit flat. Is it because the screw isnt straight? Also is it usual to find auto cards with fingerprints on them as I knew they couldnt be mine because I was htumbing through them wearng cotton gloves. My cards fit tightly in the 50 pt screw-down cases also. The next larger size screw-down case is a Pro-Mold 80 pt one, Ultra-Pro 100 pt one or a BCW 120 pt one. I only have BCW cases so the 120 case is way too big for my cards, so I put them in the 50 pt ones even though they fit snugly. Congratulations on your pulls so far. I can't wait to see your Wizard Candy card variant. |

Has anyone noticed the base card with Harry and his mum on it (I think its called a Mothers love) the mobile behind them has got owls on, bless . It makes you realise how much is put in to films for seconds that you don't even notice. I sometimes feel bad for the props guys |

The mobile would have made a great prop card! I'm still ticked off that Artbox didn't make a Harry baby blanket card...and a Quirrell turban...and a Sirius prison costume (for POA). So many missed opportunities. |

I mean how much work would have gone into the mobile for a few seconds? Harry's blanket would have been great (I get a little teary when I see the picture of Dumbley leaving Harry and privet drive). I think the trouble with the SS stuff is the time in between things could have been sold, lost, taken or thrown away. Sirius stuff would have been good.
