I really like the Ginny costume card, both the image and your variant swatch, (a lot of those swatches seem to be only one color).

I have to agree. It was one of the cards I wanted and I am glad the one I pulled didn't have a plain swatch. Bagshot - You pulled some fantastic cards! |

Thanks, I've been lucky this time and as I bought costume and prop sets from Tom I am missing just one or two of the more common autos. Some of my swops are on  though I really hope my P4 001 doesn't sell! I have an agreement that I have to sell any new swops I pull and I couldn't bring myself to list the original P4. |

This is sort of off topic, but does anyone else think the prices this set's cards have been selling for is rather low??? I saw the Double Costume Card Harry & Hermione listed on for $29.99 or best offer, and many other decent cards with fairly low prices. Even more shocking to me is the price the Dual Auto Card for Dan Radcliffe and Gary Oldman has been selling for, which is about $300.00. Dan Radcliffe's Autos from other sets usually bring more than that. Is it just me  |

The set is selling for less as it was not a greatly anticipated set. People were not happy that they decided to do a MM2 already, when only one more movie has come out since MM1. Artbox tends to do a lot of filler sets and many people don't like them as much as the movie releases. Not to mention, a lot of the costumes and props are ones we have seen in previous sets. I like them all, and look at the lower prices as a chance to get cards I want and especially the ones I missed from past sets (like Fawkes feather). It gives me a "second chance". Of course, the cards with material we have seen in the past before may sell for less (like the double you mentioned), but this set also has some we have never seen, like the Dursley's costumes and Ginny's robe, as well as the proclamations prop and compass. I also seemed to notice that Dan's auto's sell for more when they are of just him (unless we are talking the triple auto from PoAU). And, I am not sure it is great for the worth of his autograph when he signs for so many different sets. I remember reading in NSU magazine after he signed for the first time for PoAU that the card would be one of the single most valuable Harry Potter items 25 years from now. I don't know if that holds true now that he has signed for so many other sets.

For as much as the boxes/cases cost, one can only hope that Artbox will be producing some extra special cards for their future sets.  |

Yeah I've noticed the same thing in terms of MM2 cards fetching less $$ in general. The other thing that I find interesting is that more dealers are willing to negotiate on their prices. Now the economy has something to do with this too (more people with less disposable income) but it's also the lower demand (and less enthusiasm) for MM2. I've also noticed the same thing with regard to Radcliffe autos. Seems like Emma Watson autos (and there aren't lots available for sale) are generally a bit higher now (she's signed a lot less). With that said, the older/rarer Radcliffe autos (if you can find any) can still command a premium. Again, my read on this is that it's a number of different factors that are affecting the price for Radcliffes. just my opinion though. |

I think with so many sets already produced, and many more to come, it's time for Artbox to get creative and give collectors something to really look forward to in a new release.  |

I have to agree that I'm surprised how fast dealers are taking best offers. I've used the best offer to buy all but one of the cards I've purchased.

I've purchased a couple MM2 cards outside of eBay so they can save on their eBay/Paypal fees. I only do this with dealers that I've dealt with before (every little bit helps). Yeah it seems to be more common to see BIN w/ 'Best Offer' options. |

Yes, it is nice. But full sets of the puzzle cards Pz1 through Pz9 have been selling on eBay for $3 to $10, so it should be worth maybe $1 (if you're selling).

I was interested in the Radcliffe/Oldman dual and the Malfoy dual, but I wish they were in color. But then again, I have been put off by the photos/artwork on quite a few of the autos. I was interested in Tom Felton's auto for OOTPU until I saw a scan of it. |
