It's a nice card and now you have something to trade.

[Morningangel-Iola]

It is a nice one, I do like the Harry cards best. He is the hero after all. Maybe I could get a few bertie botts for it  

[Nienna]

Well, true considering how many dud boxes Forum members have opened in the past!
So it should be hearty congratulations instead!!

[Morningangel-Iola]

Yes I think I would have been heart broken if I had got a dud :'(

I forgot to mention that the seller addes a Hermione Pink TOp Costume card as a premium. NICE.

[darthmactor]

Well, in the past two months I've gotten about five boxes of the Update off of eBay, and they seem to have been pretty good.

Box #1
Harry Quidditch (close up)
FilmCell Card (Harry Expectum Patr.)

Box #2
Cedirc Diggory Quidditch Card
Rupert Grint/Ron Weasley Auto Card  

Box #3
Cedric Diggory Quidditch Card (0019, a success for me, since I'm trying to put together a sub-100 chase card set  )

Box #4
Aunt Marge Costume Card

Box #5
Slytherin Tie Costume Card

What'cha think? Okay so far, for having bought five boxes?

[ferdinand_the_yak]

Getting a Rupert auto/Slytherin tie are definitely worth those 5 boxes - you did better than alot of people who bought cases!

Congrats!

[Anna]

You've done extremely well with your 5 boxes!
Not only did you get the Rupert auto and Slytherin Tie (as pointed out by FTY), but you also got an Aunt Marge costume which is also a pretty rare one!  Congratulations on your fantastic pulls darthmactor!

[mcgonagall]

wtg great pulls darthmactor

[Roz]

Yep, you have more to talk about in your 5 boxes than I do in 5 cases

(the Ron auto anyway

Congrats and keep those gold fingers of yours in tip top shape for the Sorcerers Set  

[darthmactor]

Sorcerer's set? *gulp*   Guess I need to start preparing for that.

[Anna]

Sorcerer's set? *gulp*   Guess I need to start preparing for that.

What!  You mean you haven't been preparing for it?  Maybe you're the smart one, waiting to see what the set is like before pre-ordering.

[EmmasOneandOnly]

Man am I preped for SS

[Morningangel-Iola]

Oh well done I am so jealous

[EmmasOneandOnly]

I'm jealous of the free Emma card

Well, in the past two months I've gotten about five boxes of the Update off of eBay, and they seem to have been pretty good.

Box #1
Harry Quidditch (close up) (0568/2173)
FilmCell Card (Harry Expecto Patr.)

Box #2
Cedirc Diggory Quidditch Card (1397/2173)
Rupert Grint/Ron Weasley Auto Card  

Box #3
Cedric Diggory Quidditch Card (0019, a success for me, since I'm trying to put together a sub-100 chase card set  )

Box #4
Aunt Marge Costume Card (347/430)

Box #5
Slytherin Tie Costume Card (322/380)

What'cha think? Okay so far, for having bought five boxes?

I just got two more boxes today off of eBay (from CaptainCollect). The first box was pretty good, got a Ron Weasley costume card (247/731) (my second, the first, 502/731, I got off of eBay, so one will be traded eventually  ).



The second box proved to be even better. The first chase I pulled was a Lupin/Dementor film card (632/900). That was followed by a David Bradley as Filch auto card,



and was topped off by the best of all by a Marauder's Map prop card (118/500)



which just simply blew my mind. So, out of 7 boxes, I've not come across a dud (knock on wood), and I've had fairly good look with the chase cards. Here are some scans of some of the pulls from the first five boxes.

Aunt Marge



Slytherin Tie



Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley auto card (with two strange little guages in the back)

[EmmasOneandOnly]

congrats, love the map

[darthmactor]

Thanks, I can't tell you how long I've wanted a Marauder's Map card.

[EmmasOneandOnly]

I want one but I dont think I'll be getting one anytime soon :'(
