Hermione's jumper/scarf (192/730).  

Nice one RNS - it's unquestionably one of my favourite cards in the set

Thanks CJD, that was a bit below par!

We are still missing some of the film cards pics for the price guide (alas the scanner has gone to silicon heaven (it's where all the dead calculators go too)

And we need redemption card pics... then we should be up to date on the price guide

Yes, it was a pretty naff case.

And speaking of redemptions; I haven't got one yet so could someone tell me what the cut-off date for the redemption auto's is please.

November 2005 I think. THey always seem to give us a year

[Accio Wealth]

March 2005

Doesn't give us much time.

How do you guys normally send these back, registered?

[Roz]

Accio they are American cards so they are dated in an American way, I think that's the 3rd of November, not the 11th of March... that makes more sense to me anyway!

I don't have one in hand so I could VERY well be wrong!

[gimli]

yes the back does say 11/03/05 but i would read that as US date 3rd November 2005 (03/11/05 in the UK)

[rns91294]

Yes, that is US, November 3.  I work for a company that uses UK dates (03/11/05) so I understand both ways of doing it, but the US way is definitely 11/3/05.

Thanks Roz! I too love the Hermione jumper.   I may even like it more than the pink sweater from the first set that I hae been trying so hard to get. But I must say that I like the Grim fur of this set the most so far.  I have seen most of them at the show I went to.

The three boxes i ordered from my local shop are coming this Wednesday!!!  So more to come.

I know the two cards I pulled are not worth the cost of the two boxes, but I am very pleased and would do it again in a heartbeat.  Looking forward to getting my next three boxes

I also found another local shop who is getting boxes in this week too.

[Roz]

Yes, and when you think about it RNS no one else has touched them since packing... does it seem weird to think that? But to me it makes them a tad more special!

Besides you did get base set, box toppers and foils too - are you short any? I have ended up with some spares!

[savage727]

The U.S. date is definately November 3, 2005.

[rns91294]

And Roz, still no one has touched mine (at least not the material).  I am always afraid to get them dirty, so I instantly put them in a protector screw down case.

So far, I got two box topper 2's.  One of my foils is a little damaged, but before I start trading and everything, I figure I should wait until I get my other 3 boxes this Wednesday to know exactly what I need.  I will be gald to help out others as well, depending on what I get !!

Thanks!!

oh yes, there were words going through my mind which I will not repeat here   but the last box definately made up for it.

The cards look great anyway and I love the film cell cards!
