 ROFL! ROFL! ROFL!  On both counts!

I've received confirmation from Artbox that the James and Lily autos will not be part of this set.  Undecided

Oh, well, just when I started loving the idea of a dual auto.   Roll Eyes Well, there are still some really awesome autos in this set!  Wink

I'm actually quite relieved about that, they just aren't right for this set.  Now if they replaced this with Mr Davis  Wink.  No seriously I wonder if they will do any type of Cornish Pixie prop as a surprise  Praying.

Oh and as 5594mike started guessing who would be the most expensive signer for this set I will now have my go.  I think it will be Kenneth Branagh.  But since I have been waaayyy out on all the other sets this will probably be the common one  Roll Eyes

Branagh is certainly the biggest name for this set, but if he signed a lot of cards, prices should be reasonable.  He seemed to have signed a ton of cards for the Wild Wild West movie set.  I picked up one of those (prices were generally less than $15 Shocked ), because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get one of his from COS.

Not one card in the 50-150's yet Undecided. Hopefully the Case incentives will change that. From what i've seen they usually make up for the lack of Premium AUTOs with rare or low print Prop/Costume cards and vice-versa. And after Memorable Moments..what's with the number print?.

I'm sure, at least 3 props will be in the area below 120. I think P4 and P9 will be that rare and of course the 25 case incentive (and maybe the 10 case incentive too).

There weren't many Fawkes feathers on display at SDCC, so that card will probably be quite limited.

There are over 100 auctions on eBay this morning.  I don't know about anyone else, but my watch list is full! Smiley

If the current bid is low, I often place a small bid to watch an auction.  Once in a while, I even win the item for that price! Cheesy 

The P9 card is numbered to 115.

It's hard to get a good scan of the lenticular case loaders, but the one in this auction really shows the image. 

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190066648514

I'm sure it's a great card to have, but I am terrified of snakes.  Think I'll pass on this one!

Digital Heros Ebay store seems to have the most Chamber of Secrets cards with 23, but there opening bids are outrageous.  Too rich for my pocket book.  They are out of Washington state, USA, so I guess the US got cards first.  Too rich for my pocket book.  I find it strange that Prop cards have lower opening bids than the Costume cards.  I generally collect only Costume Cards and with the exception of the Incentive cards, there total numbers are twice has high as the Prop cards.  I puts some bid on some of the prop cards.  I enjoy watching the auctions as much as winning the cards.  I probably won't win any, but it's early yet.

The opening bids are way too high, but I guess the seller feels that since not many people have the cards on eBay right now, some buyers might be desperate enough to pay those prices.

There aren't any really big standouts, but the set as a whole is nice.  I think Artbox did a great job with the props, especially considering how long ago the movie was filmed.

I like the props and costumes (don't let's talk about the Autos), but the POAU-set was also extremely nice, when you see the cards ...  Roll Eyes Wink

In terms of the actual cards, I still think that POAU is the best set Artbox has produced.  The collation problems, dud boxes, and very high print run are what ruined that set for many dealers and case buyers, but the cards are fantastic.

I agree, I loved POAU.  The set, as a whole, had everything: autos, props, and costumes.  It's just too bad you couldn't rely on getting a box with two inserts...or in some cases even one.  Roll Eyes

I think COS has one of the best set of costume cards...all of them are major.  Have we seen the Hermione sweater yet?

The props for this set are really, really nice.  I like all the variants of the Magical me book...did you see the one with part of Gilderoy's face on it!  Shocked
