Yes, direct from the auction:
"You are bidding on ONE set of the Harry Potter Premiere Poster Trading Card Sets. There are only 1100 sets made and I have set ONE and set TWO. The rarest, impossible to get unless you buy them from me, sets. This auction is set ONE for sale. See picture for numbers. They are coming to you Mint and Never opened."
I salute his salesmanship. Well done. This a box never to be opened. Do you think it will be?
Now an attempt at some satire:
The buyer of this box may rest assured that the Cards contained herein are in the most desired state of mint condition. They are coming to you not only "Mint and Never Opened", but also the
new highly desired
"Unseen By Human Eyes" MINT CONDITION. Because as we all know, some famous physicist once said (I paraphrase here...don't quote ME!.), "An object can be changed merely by looking at it." So in that spirit, be the first to obtain a box of cards in such a pristine and desired MINT state----"
Unseen By Human Eyes." Guaranteed not to have been changed by one errant photon of light. By the way, the buyer of any of my boxes may be asured that all of my boxes have a unique number. I have number 137 of 1100, only one box number 137 was made, you must agree that elusive number 137 is as equally rare as the elusive number 1 of 1100. etc. So, to paraphrase a famous Chicago political saying, please bid early and bid often.
See the other thread about how some new boxes of cards don't even make it to the front door of the house unopend.
PS:
Oh, by the way, The manufacturer knowing that this box would never be opened, actuallity filled with cut pages from old phone books carefully weighed to exactly match the weight of a genuine a box with real cards. (Saves on print runs and minting coins for redemption, too!)
$48.00 presently plus $8.60 shipping. Well done, indeed!
All this is tongue-in-cheek, so the usual no offense meant disclaimer. Just trying to poke a little fun.
I know that I'm a crazy collector, too. RADAR numbers...gimme more. Right, Roz?
No doubt it, I must cancel my subscription to MAD MAGAZINE.
