Please post your cards and comments here.

Okay, I'll start off.  I don't have scans yet, since my box is sitting at the local UPS hub waiting to be loaded onto a truck, but I do have comments!   (I know, when don't I have a comment. )

I really like the look of this set.  The designer did a great job with the cards.  The props are fantastic.  There are a couple of repeats, but those were hard pulls from other sets.  Personally, I like having another opportunity to get them. The same can't be said for the costumes.  Come on, how many times are they going to use Harry's Quidditch robe, Gryffindor ties, and Slytherin ties?  At least they're limited to three per case.

The autos also look great, although there are six redemptions out of 11 cards.  While it would have been nice if Artbox had waited to release the set until more autos came in, they must have been trying to ship the set before the end of the fiscal year.

Overall, I give the set a B+!

I'll start!  My 2 cases arrived on Tuesday.
Overall, not too bad, some repeats. Blah!  And the stinkin redemptions!! Double BLAH!! 
Pulled two Creevey's, Photogragher's and Dean Thomas's.




Pulled three C2 Gryffindor Students material!

Pulled two Book from Lockhart's office (first top scan) two O.W.L.'s Exam papers, but both were different (the cards with Umbridge), two Durmstrang Staffs and two hospital sheets.

Jackie, you pulled a Hermione auto!   And jfer, those are great variants!   Nice Riddle auto, too.

I LOVE the Riddle auto. Definitely one I would like to get my hands on.

[Hikarist]

I've also got Harry's Hospital Bed Sheets, Colin Creevey Redemption, Photographer Redemption, Dean Thomas Redemption, and a Zacharias Smith Redemption - I'm just too lazy to take another picture. ^^;;

[kbmum]

That's a solid case!

I didn't realize that the box toppers are metal.  I was surprised to find a small manila envelope on top of the packs with the box topper in it.  The card has a bit of weight to it, too.

Well, my box had average pulls, but at least I had a costume and a prop.   I justed BINned a young Sirius auto, so now I'm on the prowl for some props!

JACKIE!!!!!!!!! You had AMAZING pulls! Hermione! You got Hermione!  Congratulations! And I love the Riddle Bone Prop that you pulled...the cut of it is fantastic--looks like a little bone itself.

Hikarist--You got Hermione too!!!!!!!! Congratulations! 

Jfer: Tom Riddle and fantastic OWL variations!!!! Congratulations!

Just got my case this afternoon, and got a Hermione auto, YESS!!! 

[kbmum]

That's a nice variant for the O.W.L. prop.

[Nienna]

That's a nice variant for the O.W.L. prop.

I was just thinking the same thing Cindy - it's a super swatch and the Gryffindor Double costume is rather nice too!! 
It wouldn't be an HP set without a spider somewhere, now would it!? 

I can't believe how many Hermione autos have been pulled so far  ... CONGRATULATIONS to everyone on getting one of the biggies in the set! 

[kbmum]

I was going to comment on the number of Hermione autos!  It's listed by Artbox as ultra rare, but maybe there are more of them than the Harry and Ron cards.

[Nienna]

Well, I think it more likely that our forum members got lucky rather than there being more of her autos than those of Harry or Ron (I DO hope so, I love it when the people on here get the great breaks for a change) - Harry's auto is a redemption & Ron's isn't, so until we see posts of people pulling these two ( ) it's just guesswork.
I'm sure Jeff will comment on this in due course, but each of the Hermione autos had very similar card collations in the rest of the case - I reckon we've found our first cluster pattern! 

[kbmum]

Bryan, you were shorted one prop in your case.   The repeats aren't acceptable, either.  Even if you don't expect Artbox to believe you, you should let them know how the case broke.

[Bitsy]

I'm so sorry, Bryan. That's ridiculous...definitely let them know b/c this might be a pattern that we will see more of as case breakdowns continue.

[Bryanjs14]

for the sake of everyone else on the forum I hope not. I hope everyone can keep pulling Hermione autos!

I will e-mail Artbox, and I will definetly mention it to them when I am at Comic Con since I have a pretty good relationship with them.

They have ALWAYS made up for anything missing in my cases. I just hate to have to go back to them with every release for the last two years. Even with all the repeats and missing prop card though I would still say that I rate them much higher that some of the other companies and their recent releases.
