Incentive cards

I just won my first case insentive card ever yesterday and I've become much more interested in this thread.  I got a wand prop which I know is a 10 case incentive and numbered to 205.  But if there were only 800 cases sold, there should be a max of 80 wand props in circulation.  Where are the extra 125 cards?  125 seems like a whole lot of cards to be kept back as replacements.  I wrote Artbox and got this response:

Ok.....and that means what exactly?  They have them at Artbox still or they have given them to Warner Bros?  Anyone know?

It sounds as if they gave a number of the cards to Warner Bros.  I'll bet it was the same for the coin cards, maybe for every single card they make.

Yes they do give a lot to Warner Bros etc, but that's still 130 wands that shouldn't have been given away. It's been the same right through - with the peartree, honeydukes candy etc. I understand they have to give some to actors etc (although I doubt this as Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) had not heard about cape cards etc) 130 is a lot of spares!
