I realized a little late that it wasn't fair to Bryan to post links to other people's auctions in his thread, so the links have been moved to new thread in Diagon Alley. Sorry, Bryan!
Do you think the plates are overpriced? I'm not sure how much that sort of thing should cost, although I've been told that another manufacturer had one plate (not all four) from a set packaged with the card for around $15. Maybe Artbox should be charging $100 for these sets?

no problem about posting the links, I do not care lol.
I think they are terribly overpriced, and I would love to see them in packs, not at SDCC. $200 for printing plates is a lot. They have plenty left, so I think that means a lot of other people agree with me.
I have seen lots of Rons, Hermiones, and Harrys pulled from the mystery bags but I have not had the good luck yet...no felton exclusive either but hopefully with the two bags I get today that luck will change.
Kelly, I have STILL not been able to get you a big fracking bag and I have gone by numerous times and they tell me to just keep trying.

I hate that they put the Rons Harry's and Hermione's in there. Are they from the new set? I need to get my Harry redeemed yet. I just think it would be nicer for everyone to have a better chance to pull one of those cards from their boxes instead.

Thanks, Brian. From what I hear it's a very hot item. Don't get trampled trying to get one! Colonel Tigh says: It's all fun and games until someone looses a frakking eye!  |

From what I read from reports and auctions, the printing plates are all numbered "001/001" but there are 247 different versions, one for each card in the OOTP and OOTPU sets. I'm not sure exactly how that's counted. Supposedly there are eight cards per set, four each for the card front and back, in cyan-magenta-yellow-black.
There are OOTP crystal card sets that were exclusive to SDCC, each apparently # to 50. I've seen listings for:
- 2-card set, Harry and Ron, with light-up base
- 2-card set, Harry and Voldemort, with light-up base
- Single card, Harry, with light-up base
Anybody with first-in-hand knowledge, please correct me!
Note that some auction sellers are promoting items from the goodie bags as "SDCC Exclusives" while they are actually just leftover autos, etc. from previous series. Also, a set of four Hogwarts ties seems to be the same as the one that was 'exclusive' to the 2006 SDCC, same thing for the four oversized Death Eater costume cards from SDCC 2007.
Artbox also has exclusive SDCC08 autograph and costume cards for 24 Season 5, one pair each for Maropis and Itzin.

I only saw the single card from the last set (case topper) yet. Can you maybe be wrong with this one?  |

 Thomas, I've seen eBay auctions for the Harry and Voldemort crystal card set. There is also a HBP preview set in a box that contains promos 1 through 9. |

Hey, I did say please correct me if I'm wrong.  Some of the speculation is based on auction descriptions, which aren't always correct! The "single-card Harry crystal" auction has a picture that looks a lot like the yellow Harry case-topper, but it says it comes with a light-up base and was limited to 50. The seller is usually pretty sharp, and was careful in other auctions to say that cards from earlier releases were found in goody bags. I don't see any hints of confused descriptions in the other auctions. But it didn't give a #/50 on this one, like the seller did with the Harry/Voldemort pair. I've bought SDCC-exclusive cards from this seller in previous years, and they've been described accurately. My working theory: The card is the same as the OOTP case-topper, but Artbox combined 50 of them with the light-up base to make a con-exclusive "package." It might also explain why the yellow Harry seemed to be the scarcer than the other five original crystals -- they may have held back some of these alone for San Diego. The two-crystal set featuring "Harry and Ron" and the light-up base #/50 (a different seller) didn't have a picture in the auction. I'd think it would be difficult to mistake Lord Voldemort for young Weasley, but maybe it happened. |

I have seen the auctions with the set of two, but not the single card. So yes, both do seem to exist.
And what is this about the tie set and deatheater set? Are they showing up in goodie bags? I am confused.

There are tie and Death Eater sets from previous Comic-Cons and there is also a new Death Eater mask set from this year's Con. None of these sets were inserted in the goodie bags.

Okay, I see it now for the new oversized death-eater set.
The outside of the box looks identical, but I now see photos of the inside. The earlier plaque said "Exclusive Death Eater Costume Card Set xxx/100" and the new one's inner plaque says "Exclusive Death Eater Prop Card Set xxx/100."
The older costume cards were numbered DE1-DE2-DE3, but I don't see any information about what's on the backs of the three this time.
Thanks for the tip!

I hate that they put the Rons Harry's and Hermione's in there. Are they from the new set? Autos from the trio are from the OOTPU set. It's interesting that the Draco auto that's exclusive to the show is from Half-Blood Prince.   As for card sets after the last movie is released...Artbox is going to get everything it can from the license for as long as it can. You can bet there will be more Memorable Moments, 3D, and other retrospective sets. |
