Did anyone who attended the show pick up a $25 small box from Artbox?  I'm curious about what was inside.

[Jon]

I didnt pick one up, but I wish I had. For only $25 you got  a retail GOF or POAU box, a random Tin, and one prop, costume, film, or auto card. Great deal if you resold the box and tin. Its pretty much like getting an insert for free.

[Roz]

Yeah but the retail boxes are pretty dull

Ok, so this might be a dumb question, but i though the first task tent was just a beige canvas with some black floral designs every now and then.  So where on the tent is there blue for this auction to have blue on the jumbo prop card.  I mean, im really interested in buying this card, but if it being blue is less rare than a black one then ill go and buy one with black.

Maybe the squiggles are woven into the tent and are hard to see because they're so light.  Here's the best close-up I could find and it doesn't show any blue.

Maybe its the back of the tent, put on the card like that by mistake

Here's one of the $75 mystery boxes on eBay:

After further inspection, I thought I would let everyone know, the Sorcerer's Stone base set that came with the boxes is stamped with silver foil as opposed to the regular gold foil. I know many auctions have already been listed and ended for the sealed base set, but perhaps it could be added to the guide along with the House Tie set (which also happens to be described on the cards as a Sorcerer's Stone set).

[Roz]

Thanks Jon, for that info - we have had a gold PoA set so a silver reprint for SS is cool!

[Jon]

No problem. I really need to get my hands on one of the POA gold sets. Oh, and if you need pictures or scans of anything, Im willing to contribute.

[Roz]

I REALLY need your help on that one Jon

If you have a pic of the first SS card or any of the promos etc, I'm at this moment adding these things to the guide (I've been away so this is why I'm only doing this now... )

[Jon]

So you want scans of just the first card in the set for the Gold and the Silver foil, or do you want more? I'll scan the House Tie set as well. I'll get scanning right away.

[Roz]

Please Jon, that sounds great

[Jon]

Gold Base:



Silver Base:



Ive been trying for the last few minutes to get a picture of the cards in hopes of enhancing the foil, but it just hasnt been working. If  do manage to get a good shot with the foil shining, Ill post it. Im about to go back to scanning. I think I may have some of the promos that are missing photos.

[Roz]

Looking great! And already in the guide

If you could do the SS tie sets I'd be really chuffed

[Jon]

Prepare to be chuffed then. Haha. Ill just be a moment.

[Jon]

Here you are:

Ive have 2 scans of the House Tie Set, one with the certificate, one without.





I also have a scans of the COS promos:


COS P1 Gold Foil

Gold foil Dobby (P2) will be up in a moment along with the whole blue foil set.
