[gimli]

it is a very white feather with a very thing centre running through it it looks like it is from the end part of the feather and is tightly held in with no rased parts, where as the other is much more broken up and fluffy if you get what i mean

[Tea_and_Fruit]

yeah thanks but it looks like a white empty card  

[kbmum]

With regards to the Lupin shirt, how could one shirt have so many variations?  Maybe the collar and cuffs have a different print from the rest of the shirt?

[Roz]

My question exactly young dwarf... son of Gloin there is a white feather in there isn't there?

[Accio Wealth]

This really is a stunning set!!!

Those are some great looking cards Gimli. (Can't beat a bit of unsolicited scanner action!)

Mine are here tomorow

[gimli]

some people

Yes there is a feather there i promise  

[Roz]

Mine are here tomorow

Ooh you've sorted something out!

Well done!

Enjoy - I know you will!

Just broke my 2 cases, and I must say I was very dissappointed as I only got 4 autographs in each case!!!  Talk about excited.  My luck is still running strong. I don't know whether to try another case or stop while I am ahead.  Plus I got many more props than costume cards.  Here is my breakdown for 2 cases.

AUTOGRAPHS
2 x James Phelps and Oliver Phelps (Double Autograph)
1 x Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley)
1 x Lee Ingleby (Stan Shunpike)
1 x Warwick Davis (Choir Conductor)
1 x Harry Melling (Dudley Dursley)
1 x Dawn French (Fat Lady)
1 x Jimmy Gardner (Ernie Prang) - redemption


PROP CARDS

2 x Buckbeak Feather (390)
1 x The Marauder’s Map (500)
3 x Divination Class (845) (really cool variant)
1 x Unfogging the Future (930)
2 x Divination Class (930)
3 x Sleeping Bag (1960)

COSTUME CARDS
1 x Remus Lupin (834)
1 x  Harry Potter’s Quidditch Outfit (1143)
2 x  Harry Potter’s Quidditch Outfit (2173)
1 x Harry Potter’s Cloak (2575)
2 x Remus Lupin (2900)

Plus I got 9 film cell cards, there was a prop card and a film cell card in every autograph box that I opened.  I am excited to see more people from the US post and see if this is consistent, or if I just go extremely lucky.  I do really like the Ron autograph, and pulling two of the twins was exciting as well.  My wife was most excited about buckbeaks feather as she really wanted that one.  This set is a really good looking set.  Even some of the higher numbered prop and costume cards are really cool.  I'm still glad that I bought the 16 autograph set for $2500 though.

That was a nice 2 cases.

2 Buckbeaks.Good going. And a Dawn French

Crack another.Crack another. Go on.

(Although don't go expecting a Triple, they've mispacked 3 of them in my cases )

[rns91294]

Wow, nice job!!!  Your odds were like double what they said, other than the costumes.  I just hope that all your "extras" doesn't mean that other boxes are duds now due to them being misinserted in to your cases

[Tower]

Wow, i would love to have the same luck with my case. Good job.

[olly]

Plus I got many more props than costume cards

Could we see some pics of your cool cards please!!

Particularly the rare ones and varients!!

[ztaylork]

I just posted most of them on ebay, so you can look at pictures there.

I didn't put it in my auction this time, but I will still offer free shipping on any of the cards (not boxes or cases, and insurance will be extra if you want it) to any forum members.

Totals:  
6 Autographs
6 Props
13 Costumes
7 Film Cards (3 of one, 2 of another, so actually 4 different)
7 Complete Sets of Foil "R" cards

Notes:

The Percy Autograph Card and the Ernie Redemption Card came in the same pack!

Two of the Film Cards were damaged around the edges where the slides are.
I also had two damaged "R" cards.

Redemption Cards are your friends!    Me thinks they were placed in last, making some cases have more autograph cards.  

Oh, and...

I GOT A HERMIONE AUTOGRAPH CARD!!!

And to give credit where credit is due:  

My good friend Fernando's daughter, Ernestina DaCosta, pulled the Hermione.
Just like she pulled the Rosmerta Autograph from the original set.
That girl's definitely got "the touch".

Can't wait for case #3, which should arrive Thursday.

Your in California right?  Who did you get your cases from?  Local or what.  I sure hope that since you got 2 of yours today hopefully I will get my 2 from my local guy Tues....actually it is Tues now so today!!!!

[Roz]

Great breakdown Morenomark - I am delighted for you - keep us posted on that third case!

[morenomark]

Thanks, Roz.  

After 2 Harry Robes, 2 George Quidditch Robes, and 3 Ginny Autographs bought at basically $200 US each for the first set, I was due big-time.

I just hope gimli doesn't send the Dementors after me.

I'm working with Fernando to get his little girl lent out to forum members in an effort to improve everyone's chances.

Thats too funny - lending out miniFRD

[ferdinand_the_yak]

When you say miniFRD, it reminds me of the mini-iPOD

Oh dear

Does she come in different colours as well?

Congrats on the Hermione, must mean I get Harry then!

[morenomark]

It was pretty funny.  The three of us sat around a card table, opening boxes and packs for hours, with the fourth side of the table facing a giant-screen tv.

Just think, the fourth side could be the camera.  Maybe one of you guys could sell the idea to the BBC:  

Card Collectors:  The Series.  

The drama!  The thrills!  The excitement!
