Harry Potter Memorable Moments™ Quotable Trading Card Set.

[Guest]

I am really glad that some information was released!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    I'm even happier that the set should be coming out in a couple of weeks 

Oh Bless. Hope and optimism are still out there 

    Well, I try.  However, I have to say, from someone who was only able to get two boxes, I'm a little sad.  :'(  I was so hoping to have at least two inserts per box, plus the coin cards, all in a collector's resin box.  Now I know I won't get a resin box, and I will likely get at least one box, if not both, with only one insert.   :'(   It's all up to luck, I suppose.  And let's face it, the odds of pulling a BIG prop/auto/combo card when you are only getting two boxes are slim to none. 

So, I'm thinkin' I must rely on all of you to pull super great things and post big, bright pictures.     For the life of me, though, to echo what Cindy said, I can't see what justifies the $20+ increase in price.

 I agree. I'm only getting two boxes, and i'm kind of worried about whether or not i just spent more than I should have.  I was hoping the insertion rates for the props would be better.  I'm still looking forward to this set though, the design sounds amazing!

[bush360]

Oh Well !!!!! I am slightly disapointed we are not going to get a bonanza of inserts per box, but at least we can now assume the numbers of the props and costumes will be low,giving at least some added value. 

[kbmum]

The reasons for the increase in price are the limited print run, the number of double costumes and props, and a different card stock for the base cards.  This might be one of those sets that will be much better when we're all cracking boxes and cases than it seems from the press release.

We can only hope Mike

I am quite excited about the 5 case incentive but the 10 and 2 don't fill me with excitement

I do think the autos look good (not the auto/costume death eater ones... OBVIOUSLY ).

[hockeyron]

 I also agree that we probably won't see the  real story  of this set until some boxes & cases are opened ....
   I had forgotten about not having filmcell cards in the set so yeah you are'nt getting quite as much per box/case as in GOFU but hopefully the design and card stock will be an improvement over previous releases ....
   
  I'm really hoping the entire set (base cards,inserts, auto & costume/prop cards) are all going to be something different than what we've seen in the previous sets ...
  If this is a limited production set I hope it'll show with the quality in the cards...

  IMO it can't look like a regular Harry Potter Artbox set -- it's got to be different and that includes all the cards ....

 I'm just hoping that when you open a case that you don't get 4 deatheater autos and only 1 "name" auto .....

 I think alot will depend on how many cases/boxes are actually going to be produced ...... manufacturers can tell us any amount but until those cases & boxes are in-hand  we won't really know  how much was produced ...

I'm just hoping that when you open a case that you don't get 4 deatheater autos and only 1 "name" auto .....

I expect 3 DEs and 2 Autos in each case.

And i made a little calculation:

We have:
5 autos
4 dual autos
6 props
6 dual props
5 costumes
7 dual costumes

Referring to the inserts (5,3,10) we have in the 375 cases:

1875 autos
1125 props
3750 costumes

So maybe we have the following production (adding about 25 %):

2350 autos
1400 props
4700 costumes

This can mean:

Emma Watson: 150
Maggie Smith: 150
Jason Isaacs: 250
David Bradley: 300
Eric Sykes: 300
Death Eaters: each 300

Props:

60 (dual) / 70 / 75 (dual) / 90 / 90 (dual) / 110 / 115 (dual) / 130 / 130 (dual) / 140 (dual) / 160 / 250

Costumes:

100 (dual), 150 (dual), 200, 250, 250 (dual) 300, 300 (dual), 350, 350 (dual), 400 (dual), 500 (dual), 600.

And 2 coin cards each box.

Just my imagination. But it sounds not too bad, a case should have a fair value.

As a quirky side note, Death Eater Richard Rosson is also known as "Rubber Ritchie."    He's a contortionist and his website is here:

  this just seems to get worse and wosre, artbox really knows how to rip us off 

[cardz_house]

Its a rip off but collectors will still come in droves and drive the cards to maniac prices!! 

Watch out for the bidding war on  coming very soon....

[pinksamstar]

its completely true, i just cant believe how hard this set is gonna be to obtain, what with 1 resin box a case and now it seems that the case incentives are gonna be manic to own, were all gonna be skint by the time OOTP comes out lol

[kbmum]

were all gonna be skint by the time OOTP comes out lol

Don't forget about COS.  I believe that's going to come out before OOTP.

[HPfamily]

Don't forget about COS.  I believe that's going to come out before OOTP.

UUUG!! I'm starting to dread new releases...instead of getting psyched! 

[cardz_house]

HP cards are really getting to be a huge burden on the bank balances.......... :'(

Artbox are really  of the trading card world.......

[ECL]

LOL I'll have to agree with that!  It's very tough to get decent prices on cards now on ebay. The competition at times is completely insane sometimes, but it makes me appreciate the cards that I already have even more!

[Bitsy]

I am excited to see the parchment paper cards--I think that was a great idea.   

I have pretty much already convinced myself to accept the fact that whatever I get in my two boxes will be ALL I am able to get of this set for some time to come.    auctions on these cards will be crazy.   

With COS and OOTP coming out this next year, I think some serious decisions will have to be made regarding this set--maybe pick one or two "gotta have 'em" cards.

I really don't doubt that opening the boxes will be equally as fun as always and the cards will be top notch once we see them. The problem: likely will want more and won't be able to get them. 

[beatles99]

I'm just a little afraid of waiting in the wings to purchase these cards at a later date, is that some of them may dry up before the prices come down on  which in the long haul, they allways drop somewhat

[Roz]

Well exactly. I think we have to be practical about this, PoA was 500 cases although I daresay that a lot of those boxes and cases were purchased by speculators at the time, and maybe there will be some speculative purchases of these boxes and cases too.

Let's wait and see how the numbers work out, but I think Thomas has illustrated how rare those props are going to be, I always love the props

[Mike]

I still think we trust Artbox to much, even if we smack-talk them all the time Like John said, their probably not even planning to release official news because this set is already sold out. I don't know about you guys, but the day I spend $80 bucks for box that has no guaranty, no idea of inserts or insert ration, or no news at all for that matter, is the day I've complete lost it . This is the first time we've ever been promised a case of all resin boxes only to find out later that there will only be one resin box in a case which might not mean anthing but more money because the inserts could be packed the same way normal boxes are. And for the fact that they have complete sold out, people who were able to only buy a few boxes are really stuck with whatever they pull

But, I'm not all badtalk;) It does look like a nice set and the parchment cardstock it's printed on will be a breath of fresh air from the other sets. Even thought Artbox isn't the best card company, it's nice to see some of the good stuff they come up with

Guess I've completely lost it, then.
