This didn't fit in any one of the HP card threads, so I'm putting it here.  There's a new auction for a hobby box from each of the 4 HP releases:

Price is a little higher than I would pay for those four boxes total, but for someone who hasn't purchased any boxes of HP yet it might be a nice auction.

Perhaps, but Goblet boxes really are pretty hard to come across these days for the kind of price we like to pay for things (near release price Wink), PoA are very rare, although there's suddenly been quite a few on ebay lately but prior to the GoF release there hadn't been a box on for months. There's still plenty of PoAU around and Tom seems to have a fair bit of SS up on auction too.

All in all it's a nice collection to own... I wonder how long it will be before they are all opened?

I purchased an auction several weeks ago for one box each of - POAU, SS, and GoF.  This was a perfect auction for me because I had only opened 2 boxes of POAU prior.  The BIN price for the auction I won was 170$ +14$ US Dollars tax.  So this would be much of the same, only throwing in the POA box for an extra 130$. 

I have to tell you guys, I am really considering purchasing this one.  After that triple box purchase, I have been looking for another auction similar so that I could get a nice diversity of boxes. 

With a little goading, and as long as no one else is looking into purchasing this....I might go ahead and hit the BIN tonight..... Shocked Shocked

I agree!! I think it's a pretty reasonable price!!

I noticed this auction earlier this evening - very attractive I thought and the price wasn't as outlandish as some I've seen on ebay for sealed hobby boxes.
If you do decide to hit the button, you'll have to tell us what you pull when you get them! Wink Grin

Cindy, after seeing your post, I thought about the auction over dinner, and that was enough to convince myself. 

Well, what can I say, other than I can be quite compulsive at times.  I couldn't resist the BIN button, it was just too easy - So I went ahead and grabbed up Tom's auction really quickly. 

simple equation that I have learned recently  Ebay!Evil

I'll be sure to let everyone know what I pull after I open'em up!

HAHAHA!! Guess the other thing you've also learned is that when you see something good it's best to grab it quickly before someone else does! Roll Eyes Wink

You're right though ... Ebay!Evil

Good luck with your *new* boxes!! Grin

Auction was only 7 hours. What took you so long?
I think the price was right.

Now pull a Dumbledore, a Triple, a Ron Redemption and a Headless NicK Auto.

Don't we all wish it was that easy?... But, still I need all the good vibes I can get (particularly for the Triple! Praying)

I imagine Tom wouldn't be too happy if those four cards were pulled out of four single boxes like that either, HA.

Ok, Im going to ask a dumb question, but this is because i jsut got interested in the hobby boxes recently.  Can someone tell me how many different boxes (as in sets) there are of these, and also, what is a reasonable price i should pay for a box?

The sets released for the Harry Potter films by Artbox (and thus all Hobby Boxes) include-
Prisoner of Azkaban (Released June 2004)
Prisoner of Azkaban Update (Released November 2004)
Sorceror's Stone (Released June 2005)
Goblet of Fire (Released November 2005)

It is expected that a Goblet of Fire Update set will be released in June of 2006

what is a reasonable price i should pay for a box?


The YakShack operates a member run Price Guide, which tracks data from ebay auctions to approximate 'market value' of specific cards and boxes.  To reach the Price Guide, please click on the link at the top of the screen or go here -

For more detailed information, feel free to ask around, or PM anyone.  Also, I encourage you to check out the specific forum threads for each set.

The GOF Update set is expected to be released in March (per an email I received from Artbox).  Time to start saving! Wink
