Hello everyone! My name is Jon, of course, and I am a long time lurker here on these boards, never really had anything to contribute until now. I have been attending Comic-Con every day its been open. I have some information for all of you (with pictures)! Ive bought a few Mystery Boxes so I thought I would clear up some stuff. Each Mystery Box is $75, limtited to 500 (100 a day) and contains:
- 1 Comic-Con Exclusive GOFU Black & White Binder w/ a 8x11 Prop Card. I have received 2 different cards, each of which is a blown up version of its original. I received 1 Burning Tent and 2 Champions Tents out of my 3 boxes. Im assuming, if there are indeed only two cards, that each is limited to 250. But please, dont take my word for that.
- 1 Goblet Of Fire Retail Box
- 1 Prisoner Of Azkaban Update Retail Box
- 1 Complete Scorcerer's Stone Base Set and 9 Chase Card Set
- 1 Tin (Ive received a normal POAU Tin, GOF Tin, and the Comic-Con 2005 Tin out of 3 boxes)
- 1 Set of Chamber Of Secrets Blue Promo Cards (Pictures Below)
- Every other box conatins a whole
all gold Poster Card Set (Ive received 2 out of my 3 boxes). They came in plain white boxes.
- Every Box contains a plastic case that holds one costume/prop, film, auto, and case topper card (4 cards total).
I'm not exactly sure how many boxes have extra cards, but one of my boxes contained an extra prop card in a seperate conatiner. I'll be posting the card in the My New GOFU Card thread. Before I post it though, I would like to say it is not currently for sale. Its too magnificient to get rid of.
There are also 3 other Comic-Con exclusives. I believe all of them have been mentioned, but I thought I would post info anyway. There is a House Tie set that is limited to 200 and costs $100. Unfortunately the cards arent numbered but the inside of the box has info on the cards and states the edition size. The second exclusive is the Gold Poster Card Set that has been distributed in the Mystery Boxes, except they come in the leather boxes (as opposed to the plain white cardboard boxes) and I was told by Artbox that they are limited to 250, but, like thet Tie Set, arent numbered. The Gold Poster set costs $25. Now the best for last: There is a prop card that conatins a small plaque (some have writing on them) from a trophy from one of the movies. I havent checked the movies yet nor do I own the card, so I dont know exactly which trophy. Perhaps the House Cup? There have been 6 offered each day and are limited to a total of 31 cards and cost $200. Ive missed out all days, but I hope Ill be able to snag one tomorrow (Sunday). If I do, pictures will be up as soon as possible. The card is white with the plaque on the right. Along the bottom it says something like: "Harry Potter Memorable Moments" I know theres more, but I cant rememeber what. The left side has the picture of the trophy that the plaque came from, but I just cant place what trophy right now. The back, like all prop cards, has a short description of what the card is and where is comes from. It comes in a white box and inside, I believe a certificate that claims its edition size. And, like all the other Comic Con exclusives, they arent numbered on the card.
I believe Ive covered everything. I can list the costume, auto, film, and case toppers I received if anyone is interested. I hope my posting will be much more regular. Im sure youll be hearing alot from me in the near future. I have a lot of cards that I have received in the last few weeks that I would love to share with you! Thanks for reading!
