Thanks for the stats! That adds significantly to the total. I didn't bug you with emails this time around.

My predictions were heavily influenced by five "clusters" of autos in cases, where just about always you could predict what other autos you would receive in a case that had a Quad, Harry, or Death Eater auto/costume. Another cluster formed around some of the Fleur cases that didn't have one of the big four. But there weren't enough Quad or Harry cards to fill out a full 150-case cluster and "leftover" autos were distributed randomly in the non-Quad and non-Harry cases.

But that doesn't mean that the raw numbers of the non-prime autos were the same. The Parvati sisters seem pretty clearly more common than the others and Maxime less so. That's out of 595 boxes now, which is a decent statistical sample.

The clustering in full-case breakdowns still supports the idea that there was one DE2 cluster and two different ones for DE1, so I still assume there were more of the latter card produced. This ain't true science.

I got my quad today  Grin Grin Grin  I didn't get the usual letter with it so I can't tell you what the number was but I got something even better  Grin.  Kay and Mike did me a little Happy Birthday note in with the cards (the quad and my Ron) which I am over the moon with.  Thank you Artbox  Grin

You should write to Kay at Artbox to see if she's received it yet.  She's good about responding to e-mails.

Well, my emails to Artbox seem to have fallen into the dark abyss! Sad
The first ones I sent were answered pretty quickly, but those afterwards haven't been replied to - all I wanted to know was when my redeemed autos were going to be returned ...  Undecided

Thanks for the info Cindy, but surely there must someone else besides Kay working in Customer Services & answering emails/queries etc?  Undecided
No disrespect to the rest of the staff there, but it seems like everything has ground to a halt because one person is out of the office for a while ...  Undecided

Just got 10 more cases in the mail (got a deal I couldn't pass up) and I got hooked into cracking them.  I decided I would crack cases until I didn't get either a quad or a Harry (even if that was only 1 case) well I cracked 7 cases, here were my autograph breakdowns.

4   -   Quad Card (by redemption)
2   -   Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter
1   -   Alex Palmer as a Death Eater DE2

0  -   Ashley Artus as a Death Eater DE1
1    -   Michael Gambon as Albus Dumbledore
0   -  Clémence Poésy as Fleur Delacour

0   -   David Tennant as Barty Crouch Jr.
2   -  Frances de la Tour as Madame Maxime
0   -  Katie Leung as Cho Chang
7   -  Bonnie Wright as Ginny Weasley
4   -  Roger Lloyd-Pack as Barty Crouch
7   - Shefali Chowdhury as Parvati Patil
7   - Afshan Azad as Padma Patil

You might have to ask yoursel "Is Zach on cloud 9 right now???"  The answer is YES!!! Smiley  4 quad autographs!!!  And 2 Radcliffe's!!! WOW!! I nearly wet myself!!! Smiley

Go ahead, we'll understand. Grin

Not altogether a bad set of surprises, but we're sorry that you ended up spending so much more time opening packs than you had expected!

I'm STILL waiting for a response from Artbox over the cards I sent in to be redeemed at the end of August....  Roll Eyes Undecided Angry
Is there anyone else working in their Customer Services department who is (a) capable of switching on a computer, (b) capable of opening the company email program, (c) able to read and (d) capable of stringing a couple of sentences together by way of a reply, d'you think??  Huh
Sorry to sound so sour, but for a large company they are appalling at how they respond to requests for information right across the board. Sad

Oh and if Mike reads this ... I would just like to know whether you actually received my redemptions and assuming you have, when can I expect to receive them please?

Hehe, i've been having an impossible time reaching Artbox also.  The fact that they have a website that never changes and no customer service bugs me.  If their cards weren't so nice I would have long stopped buying them!  Other companies like rittenhouse and inkworks seem to be much more responsive to the fans

Oh Jules it sounds like I was dead lucky with my redemption's.  Boggy sent them in around the beginning of September and I had them returned on the 20 September.

I have just had my Quad card back from Artbox. I sent it just before Christmas.

The letter states it is number 54.

I received my quad back this morning and I sent it in just after christmas where as my COS redemptions came over a week ago just 3 weeks after I sent them in

I was starting to get very worried it does look like they have been sending out COS cards first and the others later at the moment

and my redemption letter was 59
