Wow Darren that was some amazing case, congratulations  .  The Hermione book is gorgeous and to get a piece of the Gryffindor lion on your cracker is fantastic.

Thank you Sharon. I still can't quite believe how lucky i was with this case myself!

[Tower]

Great case, Darren, i wish, i'll ever pull a similar variant like the amazing crackers and the Potions Book is great too. Congrats, you've got a fantastic case. 

[Roz]

But by far the best thing is how nicely you photographed everything for us Thanks

[stoney]

Hi Dal! Welcome to the Shack! I just now saw your posts and am sorry I am late in welcoming you!

Now, I have to say--WHAT AN AMAZING CASE!  You did absolutely perfectly! Congratulations! The Potions Prop and the Crackers Prop are absolutely gorgeous.  And what an amazing pull with Hermione's sweater! I can see the bit of pink in it as well!

Major Congratulations on a truly awesome case and welcome again to the Shack!

Edit: sorry, link fixed             
I just got these 2 and love them , specially the one with Hedwig (it's the only Hedwig COS filmcard i've seen, I love how she has the "ORLY?" look in that particular scene ).

[stoney]

Thanks bitsy. I did seem to strike it lucky with my first ever case. Even more than i dared hope. I don't normally have that kind of luck so i was quite shocked by the cards i got .
Love the two film cards Galea, especially the Hedwig one!. I like the film cards a lot and i think that they tend to be overlooked because of the autos, props and costumes.
Let's give those film cards the credit they deserve!!

Thx Dal, and that's true! filmcards are underrated .

[Bitsy]

I love the film cards! I don't think I have ever seen a Hedwig! 

Dal, you are so right! Film cards seems to pale in comparison to Props, Autos, and Costumes. I love film cards! It's always exciting to see what scene you have and who is in the scene! I like the cards that have cells that are related to the picture on the card too.

Here's my latest COS card.  I now have COS Ginny Sweater with a stripe varient, and Tom Riddle's Sweater with a stripe varient.  Now if I can only find a Luna with a striped varient.  I will be down to Hufflepuff then.  I wonder if there will ever be a Hufflepuff sweater available.

Wow! Thats a wonderful card. Its cards like yours that tempt me into sets I dont collect.

This little haul is what turned out to be Christmas a few months early. I picked up all six of these cards up for only $75! I was also surprised with four promo sets and a case topper, as well as another surprise that made me yell for joy. We'll get to that later. So here are the cards:













This is what made my day. Not only did I snag this for $50 when one sold just that day for $240, I also found a little surprise that I was totally not expecting. So when I bought the card, I didnt care about the number, it wasnt even mentioned. I only do the number game for OOTP , but when I turned this card over, I nearly screamed. Its numbered 001/100!! This person, goodness, I love them. Of course, this wont spawn an attraction for numbers for this set (with it being out for as long as it has, I dont think it would even be possible), but I am just astonished that I would recieve such a good looking and good numbered card. Im just so thrilled right now!

[Bitsy]

Holy cow! That is completely incredible! Congratulations all the way around--on price, number and swatch--it's all gorgeous! 

[Jon]

I think I may have lied.



Number 001/290!


So I came across a strange card. Im sort of doubting its authenticity. I bought because it was cheap, and if it turns out real, a nice variant.



Whats weird about it is that is seems to be signed in ball-point pen. Is that normal? From what Ive seen, this card is usually signed in sharpie. Tell me what you think.

[Bitsy]

Really interesting. Not sure what to think.   

I guess I'd start with some questions: Is there any way sellers could get their hands on a "Blank" card? Is the seller reputable?

We have seen some variations with signature: i.e. Jamie Waylett as Crabbe signed some cards with smiley faces, I believe.

The pen part is interesting, though we have seen some variations in pen usage, depending upon what the actor has with them at the time they sign the cards.


I really, really like the card, though! It's like it was personalized to you!

I don't know how long it will take to get a response, but you could email Artbox with the scan and ask them if the card is legit.

[Bitsy]

That's a really good idea. Contact Artbox to verify it.

That's a really good idea. Contact Artbox to verify it. 

don't hold ya breath on that one.   i'm still waiting for a reply i sent at the beginning of the year concerning my pear tree leaves card.

[terryweasley]

The solution is to keep bugging Artbox until you get an answer.  I don't like being a pest, but sometimes you have to be.

Hi,

I know it is a bit late but I just saw this card and if I had $200 floating around I would buy it.  I think I am gonna start a picture collection.  A top prop card from the book Magical Me:

         

Isn't that brilliant?!!   *sigh*

til later,
