Jon, were there any new cards on display in the Artbox booth?  With both Memorable Moments and Chamber of Secrets coming up, they might have some samples to see.  Last year, they also had costumes and props on display.  If you happen to see thi posts before you go to the show today and can take some pictures, we'd appreciate it!

Thanks for the news Jon and welcome to the Shack.   I'm looking forward to seeing your Trophy card if you get one today.

Oh, yes, there were lots of props! Some of the props are from previous sets, but most are new. These are off the top of my head, so a few may be missing: Harry's Quidditch Robes, Draco's Quidditch Robes, All 4 House Ties, Huge Christmas Ornaments from SS, Slytherin Scarf, Fawks' Feathers, Lockhart On Broom Photo, Lockart's Magical Me, All 4 House Wizarding Crackers,  Exploding Bon Bons, Aragog's Leg, Ron's Howler, Ron's Hogwarts List, Ron's Evelope From Hogwarts, Magical Water Plants from the Highland Lochs (this one is beautiful, I wish I could own the full prop), another pair of pajamas, Krum's Durmstrang Tank Top (2nd Task), Harry's Hogwarts Tank Top (2nd Task), more black robes, Mandrakes, and thats's all I can rememeber at the moment.

I will be taking pictures today with a really good camera, so expect pictures in about 12 hours. Im not exactly sure what time that is where everyone lives (I live in California), but pictures should be up by 7:00PM my time. There were no new cards other than the Comic-Con exclusives. There were, though, sample binders for both COS and MM, along with sample boxes (including the resin box for MM) and cardboard sample packs. I'll take pictures of those too.

Thanks!

Jon, Thank You so much for the information! Everything sounds really cool! 

Is the San Diego Com Con open to all people or just dealers?

[Tower]

If i see what they sell there, i guess, most of the people go in as usual people and come out as a little dealer.

[Galea]

so much info and so many exclusives at SDCC! They all look awesome i REALLY wish i was there and I know I would come out as a little dealer

Harry's Quidditch Robes, Draco's Quidditch Robes, All 4 House Ties, Huge Christmas Ornaments from SS, Slytherin Scarf, Fawks' Feathers, Lockhart On Broom Photo, Lockart's Magical Me, All 4 House Wizarding Crackers,  Exploding Bon Bons, Aragog's Leg, Ron's Howler, Ron's Hogwarts List, Ron's Evelope From Hogwarts, Magical Water Plants from the Highland Lochs (this one is beautiful, I wish I could own the full prop), another pair of pajamas, Krum's Durmstrang Tank Top (2nd Task), Harry's Hogwarts Tank Top (2nd Task), more black robes, Mandrakes, and thats's all I can rememeber at the moment.

WAH! now that's a nice display, I would have gone crazy taking pictures. If that's part of what is coming for Memorable Moments & COS I'll have to start saving $$$. A lot of it. Fawks' Feathers & Ron's Howler are must-haves. And the first 2 cards are just perfect for my collection

**PD: Anyone has an extra mystery box, tie set or trophy for sale?

[Jon]

Hello everyone! After coming back from the Con and I realized I had forgot to mention a few things. Here are additional props and costumes I had forgotten:

Hermione Grangers Sweater (COS), Daily Prophet, Class Schedule, Used Quills, School Uniforms, Skirts

Pictures will be up soon. Probably in the next 20-30 minutes.
Unfortunately I was unable to get a Trophy Card. It was kind of unfair, but oh well. Exibitors (those who have booths or work at them) are let into the convention early, so there was already a line to get the Trophy Cards when the public was let in. I was talking to a guy that had bought 4 Trophy Cards and he said he will be selling them, so those of you who want to see them (or buy them), look out on ebay.

Sorry to hear about the trophy card Jon, I'd bet that out of the 31 for public sale not many went that route, some of these dealers have a regular clients that buy all the sets off them...unfortunately they have a much better chance of getting the card than you did....Maureen

Jon, are the 4 house ties the one's that are in the $100 set?  Or are they additional cards to be inserted into the MM set later?  I can't wait to see your pictures!

[Jon]

Oh, wow, pictures, I forgot! I am currently loading them up to my photobucket account. I am scanning my Tie set right now. The house ties that are displayed do look like they could have been used for the $100 set if that is what you are asking. I am not entirely sure if there will be house ties in MM.

[Jon]

hhahha!  I want a piece of that gilderoy picture, i hope they make a card out of it

[Roz]

Awesome pics Jon -

The first of the elusive Trophy Cards is on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260012391423

The seller says it's "the rarest Artbox card" (which of course isn't true, there's definitely more of these about than the wand cards /28 or the Pear Tree Leaves card /30) or indeed the Charlie Golden ticket /18, but hey ho it's really rather nice. I hope one of us gets one and takes the sellotape spellotape off so we can see the card better.

I have to say that I really thought this was what the GOF 10 case incentive would have turned out like. The GOF 10 case incentive swatch was really not very exciting

[kbmum]

Thanks, Jon!  The pictures and reports are great.   I have to have a piece of the Lockhart picture and Magical Me dust jacket.  And Fawkes' feather, and Hermione's sweater, and the howler, and, well, just about everything!

[Roz]

What pleases me loads is the increase in Weasley memorabilia

Some of this SS stuff may be in MM, so we'll have to see

[Anna]

Thanks Jon!   It was wonderful of you to take the time to take so many pictures, upload them and come up with a props list for us.   Your efforts are greatly appreciated!    

[Jon]

I have more photos that were taken by a friend of mine. Some are close-ups that I didnt take and some have better lighting. They are bigger so you can see the details of the props. Here you are:

Enjoy!

Could those sticks under the Slytherin scarf be whomping willow branches?
Ron's Hogwarts list looks great!  I see another replica prop in my future.    Thanks for the pictures!

Kelly, I was wondering the same thing! I would think that they would have a prop of the Whomping Willow eventually.   

Thank you so much Jon for sharing! LOVE Everything! Must have a Fawke's feather and Lockheart photo and Neville's Water plant book and....of dear, I am in trouble.
