Sellers who get their product directly from Artbox can take their own chances and risk the wrath of the manufacturer. But if you ordered it through a dealer who kindly arranged for it to be "drop-shipped" to you, or if your dealer is lucky enough to get the cards in your hands before Thursday, please try to respect the Artbox release date of June 26th before posting auctions that show images of specific cards.
The Shack's policy has been that we will not allow box breaks or scans until the official release date. I suppose we could allow it, since there would be no repercussions for the Shack. Artbox does not advertise here, nor does it provide any other support. We merely honor the release date because we choose to do so as sort of a "good neighbor" policy. However, if cards are in the public domain prior to the release date, such as on eBay or a dealer website, we do allow links -- for discussion purposes. This is a discussion forum, and should a seller be stupid enough to risk his or her future Artbox purchases for early sales, then we're going to talk about that and the cards. If someone here were to use the Shack to sell those cards directly or post a link to his or her own auctions prior to the release date, that post would be deleted. Is this a fine line? Sure, but this is what we've been doing for years and it works for us.  |

Hi Sue! Welcome to the Shack! It's fine to post a link to an ebay auction.
It's nice to get a preview of what the cards will look like--love the style of them...they look fantastic!

I hope they use a nice contrasting ink color.
Black ink doesn't look like it would be suitable.

Welcome Sue. Thanks for putting the link in. I've already ordered the complete prop and dealer incentive sets from Tom Breyer, and it was nice to see what the cards look like. Damn Artbox and the person who posted the Harry Potter autograph card. I only need the Hermione Card to finish the OOP autograph set and I had decided not to purchase the autos in this set. Now I may have to rethink my decision.  |

Welcome to the Shack Sue & appreciate the info & link. I have to admit I'm liking the 3D Series 2 set as I see more and more cards. I originally was a bit apprehensive about this set as I didn't really much care for the first series. However, it's looking good and interesting. There are a few props up on eBay that look pretty good. I can't wait to get my shipment  |

And let me give you a warm welcome too, sue! I'm sorry if my earlier post was unclear and kbmum had to clarify it. We like to encourage people not to _submit_ auctions to eBay early, but once somebody posts an auction, "it's out there" for discussion. There's a reason that won't be obvious. Some of us aren't big dealers but we can't resist getting a case or two of every HP series to get a head start on our master sets. Normally, the distributors who buy directly from the card company receive the cases and send them out so that they will arrive in the hands of us "consumers" no earlier than the official release date. But at least one great distributor has persuaded Artbox to ship cases directly to his customers. They only have to be shipped once, which lowers the cost of collecting. The other consequence is that we receive our cards earlier. If "amateurs" like us start posting too many pictures and auctions before the street date, those benefits might go away, and Artbox may ship only to the wholesale-level distributors. If one of those "professionals" releases cards before the official date, they can deal with them as they wish. But if I did it, I could hurt everybody else like me plus the distributor who has graciously helped to make things cheaper and quicker. I live far enough from Artbox' shipping docks so that I'm not a big risk, but I still expect my case to show up today. I feel less pressure to open all the packs tonight just so that I can be first to share my results with the Shack, if the discussion won't be opened until tomorrow. |

Update: The eBay seller with the specific cards was asked to remove his early listings, and he did. The auction for the Daniel autograph was live for only about 20 hours before it became "no longer available for sale."

There is usually at least one person who decides to sell items before the release date. Oddly enough, those listings are almost always ended early by the seller. |

We are like one big family here. I remember stumbling across this site after the POA set was released (the first set). I found the cards on eBay, and then was starting my collection when I found this place. Been here ever since. I would even go as far to say that one of my closest friends was met on this forum. I hope you stick around!
