Does anyone have links or item numbers for the variant P6 Lockhart photo auctions that sold last week and over the weekend? I want to enter them in the price guide, but eBay search for completed items goes back only five days.  |

I was sure they went back further than that!  |

Here are the cards I pulled from my box. Unfortunately nothing to get excited about. Here are some of the cards I purchased. They are a little more interesting.  I think the Sirius card contains material from the collar of his coat. It has a definite bownish tint to it. |

It can't be from the collar of the coat. The Christie's website is down for maintenance, but the description of the catalog item said that the coat was linen and the collar was suede. My card has the darker swatch with some stitching, and I was surprised that it is brown-grayish when the uniform appears very gray on camera. It has to be the movie lighting that made it appear so. |

Great looking pulls everyone. I can see where all the varients went from the Dragon bag prop. It's good that they have different style swatches since the actual props didn't change. Bristles from the broom instead of the handle, stitching and cord from the bag, etc.
I just got my base set from Gryffindor Forever today. THANKS!! I'm really pleased with them overall. My favorites are:
#10 Quidditch tip off
#24 Pixies
#38 Marauders map
Does it bother anyone that the scenes are out of order? I keep wanting to take them out of numerical order and fix them.

Oooh, that's my biggest complaint about the set!  I hate that the base cards aren't in order by scene. Just last night, I rearranged them. Now I can enjoy them instead of cringing every time I look through them. |

To be honest the numbers are that poor and hard to see rearranging the cards is probably a good idea.

Well I have opened my case and I thought the cards were OK - Boggy and my Dad loved them and Mum just kept getting excited that every card was a 'special'. Yes you may have guessed that card opening in our house is now a family event  The one thing that I am finding very, very disappointing with the HP cards is the collation. Yes Artbox have sorted the problem of dud boxes but they have created a new problem of 'set' cases. By this I mean that there are certain cases with certain cards ie I got the 'F' case - Flitwick, Fudge etc. I did get everything I should have and I was happy with the cards I received but it is disappointing to know what you are going to pull in the whole case just by the first few autos. Yes I could resist the temptation of reading the Shack and not look at the identified patterns but this would not solve the problem. This (even more than money) is a reason I will never buy two cases of HP cards - I would not be willing to take the risk of getting two identical cases. Surely Artbox could ensure no dud boxes but make them more random, other companies do. Oh and I still think the one insert boxes are bang out of order. As someone who was lucky enough to get a case it doesn't effect me but for the box buyer this stinks, particularly as it was a very common card in that box. |

I wouldn't say they've sorted out the dud box problem. I know of someone who received a dud box with this set.  |

That's awful  . So they have just created a new problem without solving the old one |

They could at least put two costume cards in the "dudd" boxes. That would be some consolation.

Actually, it doesn't look like there was anything wrong with the case. The props were one of the regular triples and it had a dual auto and a Voldemort. The only unusual thing was the number of duplicated costumes, but the average scarcity was decent, and it didn't have any of the four most common costumes at all: C3-C5-C12-C13. It's the only case break that didn't have at least one C3, C5, and C12. And the only other case that didn't have a C13 was Misty's, another P5-P7-P8 case.
It almost feels like one of the last cases, where the packagers were finding out which costumes were running low and which ones were plentiful. Maybe they were running short of C3's after putting two of them in so many cases. Then maybe the opening and reclosing happened at the factory when they tried to fiddle with a few of them to avoid having any cases with three of a costume number.

Now, now, lets not give Artbox too much credit for caring that much about the Potter card fans like us.  |
