NICE! If I had a money tree I would buy every Wizard candy card I could get my hands on. Still the best prop cards ever IMHO.

Yes yes, very nice, but they are no permission form.. Hmmm... am I just clinging on to my favourite-ness of that card for favourite-ness' sake?

WOW!! It's Lik-o-rish spiders, and the best I've ever seen from the SS set. |

Wow is right! Do you have a link to the auction? I checked both current and completed auctions, but couldn't find the card. |

Thanks! No wonder I couldn't find it. I was searching for POA cards.  |

it is really nice. wish it was a bit more affordable though. I'm going to attempt to negotiate a price with the seller. wish me luck your card sounds amazing! there are just so many incredible cards out there. it's nice that so many people can have something unique and special. |

The really neat thing about these cards is that there are 538 of them, but there are 5 different types of candy boxes you can get. Lik-o-rish spiders, Exploding Bon Bons, Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, Fizzing Whizzbees and Black Pepper Imps. We don't know the ratio of each type, but potentially there would be only about 107 of each, and most likely less than that since Artbox always holds some back. That makes them pretty rare if you're only collecting a certain one. Then there's the discussion of do you need all 5 types to have a master set? I say no, but I got all 5 anyway just because they're my all time favorite prop. So I'm not so sure that the seller has inflated the price on that card with the face. It's the best I've ever seen of the SS Lik-O-Rish Spiders unless Tower, Anna or John has one that I forgot about. I hope you can get a better price though, it would be great to have that card go to a Shack member!  |

sfmuggle--Thank you, I like it very much. I would try to get the price down a bit--and I so hope you can get it.  Wishing you luck.  Kelly--The candy props are some of my favorites as well. I never really thought about it, but you are absolutely right--we don't know the ratio of each type, but that 538 number is a bit misleading when you consider the number of different candy box swatches the cards are created with(from)...I think that makes them much more rare. |

Thanks for the encouragement Bitsy & Kelly. I'm only beginning to become aware of the variety of different inserts like the wizard candies (e.g., Lik-o-rish spiders, exploding bon bons, bertie botts every flavor beans, etc) and their scarcity. Blows me away a bit but, at the same time, makes me want to collect more |

I agree that these are more popular because of the variety, but it also makes me wonder whether the whole Sorcerer's Stone set of inserts is starting to zoom up in value. This one card is listed at a BIN that's about half of what a case originally sold for, and a typical case would have had one of the Wizard Candy variations. It's tough to find any sellers of unopened boxes or cases. Maybe I was too picky when I was searching for nice variations for Shopping List and Invitation Letter? |

I know this is maybe a little off topic, but for those who like their wizard candy, I wanted to show you the pack of Exploding Bon-bons I made.  I have recreated all of the artwork from scratch. The bon-bons themselves are actually polystyrene balls. |
