Thank you.  Grin

yep, thats the third Weasley dual Ive pulled.....why couldnt this one have been a triple  ROFL!

Im still amazed at getting five cards, particularly two autos, two film cell cards....thats a major stuff-up somewhere, and probably someone elses loss unfortunately...

Talk about crazy (and yep, Im referring to me Tongue). Ive been putting together the base sets from the amazing box mentioned above, but was getting really annoyed that all my sets were missing one card, number 90. It took me till breakfast this morning to remember that, being the update set, it starts at 91Roll Eyes

Isn't it nice to become enlightened? Like a bolt from the blue. And in your case you sure can't say it was a senior moment.  ROFL!

The Filch auto has a dinged corner, poor baby. Wink  That's the best box of POAU, period.  We've seen a couple of 5-insert boxes, but none as good as that one.

We have just opened our single box of POAU and was a little dissapointed as no auto's or costume cards!! Sad Hopping Mad

We did get the following Cards:

R1-R9 Foil Chase Hogmeades Set

1 x Harry's sleeping bag # 949/1980

Lets hope we have better luck and pulls with our case of Superman Returns and 5 boxes of GOFU

Cheers

Hey Paul! I'm sorry your box wasn't as good as you would have liked.  Tongue.  At least you did get something...I had a complete dud one time.  It was hugely disappointing, especially after I had a string of about three pretty good boxes with two or three inserts.  But, I think I was just lucky with those few b/c any that I got thereafter only had one insert and the best one I ever got was a Maurader's Map. 

I have no doubt you will do amazingly good with you GOFU boxes--there really isn't a blah insert.  Wink  Good Luck!  When do you get them?

Nevermind Paul

After opening a case I only got.....

one box with three inserts
one box with two inserts
and all the rest only had one insert (two of them were sleeping bags)  Sad

The GoFU set is much better!
(after I set up all the base sets I only had 7 cards spare how perfect can you get)

Hi

The POAU set was a nightmare for most people due to poor Insert collation as I am sure you know the set was massively overproduced you can still get cases from some distributors after a whole year of this set being released. Where the GOF or the GOFU set you are hard pushed to get any sealed cases without paying a premium.
My advise collect the POAU set by buying the single insert cards much better in the long run.

Thats sound advice ,ok we are knew and only bought the one box few days ago and only got 1 prop card and 1 whole set of the hogsmeade chasse set which already had.
Buying them as singles is cheaper as we have found out and have been able to boost our collection up at a very quick rate.

So was the pack over-stuffed or did it have the normal # of cards, just inserts instead of singles?

It was over-stuffed by 1 card.
In the same box, i got 2 foils in a pack but 1 was defect(unglued about 1/3 of the card).
I sent my Filch card (the dinged one) and a list of autos that i don't have to Artbox and they told me that they will replace it with one of the autos that i sent in my list.

I bought a Jamie Waylette Autograph recently. It turned out to be a variant with a star.

One without a STAR:

Neither did I. I was looking to put a set together to sell and got the STAR. Now I'm looking for another one. OH well,  ROFL! be my luck to get another variant.

Nice smile face, too. You just have to PAY attention. I'll bet there are a lot of un-noticed ones left to be discovered.
