Well I was sorting them into 0-10s 10-20s etc and then sorting those piles later!
Chris didn't approve!

Roz, I've been doing it the same way as you. So, did Chris enlighten you or just laugh?  |

It wasn't so much what she was doing but the speed at which roz was sorting. I sort cards into piles of 0-9 10-19 20-29 ect then i costruct 1 set at a time rather than sorting all the 1-9 i go through each pack pulling out 1 then 2 then 3 I sometimes sort all the 1-9 like this and sometimes sort one set from start to finish. The reason i laught was that I managed to sort out 1 set of cards 40-72 in the time Roz sorted 30-39  |

Not strictly true! All the rest of my cards were ready to be sorted into other base sets should the chance arise... whereas yours were in the same mess |

There is no doubt about it Chris - you are quciker! I know - if we need to pass the time at another convention we'll have a race - just to be sure . ROFL Chris - Popple helped me out with some cards from the Cards Inc set... so I am so nearly there ... I'll have to scour WH Smiths and Woolworths around the country just in case! |

In trying to figure out production runs I would be interested to repoll everyone on this and see how many cases more specifically they have preordered. I would bet just with forum members we have between 100 - 200 cases. I don't know how to do the poll thingy...Roz  |

Thats alot of cases for three members.  I thought buying 6 cases last time was a lot. But I still think this set will go up in value. For a lot of reasons. Even if the print run is 1800 cases, we still added 2 of the best actors, which LOTR never did with exception of adding Miranda Otto, but she is only worth so much because of her rarity. But in LOTR many of the main actors signed in multiple sets (Aragorn, Arwen, Sam, Frodo, Pippin, Merry, Legolas) But even then the Two Towers set still was a much larger print run than the fellowship set, the autograph ratios went from 1:24 to 1:36 and the boxes still go for big bucks on ebay all this time later. It just took a little longer. The first Harry Potter set jumped to near $200 a box in six weeks. I have never seen a set of anything jump that fast. Another reason is the time of year. The first Harry Potter set came out right in the first of the summer, when ebay starts it decline in sales. This set is coming out right before christmas and the first of the year, when items on ebay sale much better as more people are looking. I still think the set will move up in value over the space of a few months. So people sitting on multiple cases should still be able to make a little extra $$$ ztaylork |

I think you are right there but anyone who has any hopes of completing a set of cards (if the new ratio of inserts per box is right) will have a heck of a time. And for me personally I am sure box prices will not go down and will go up, but if you are buying a case for $600-$700 and get 8 costumes #/2000 and 2 props #/1000 (I am guessing most props will have a higher print run than last time & still be a few short prints) and two auto's (not getting any of the 3-5 big ones) that will be pretty disappointing for the average collector who expected (from original news) that they would get around 15 inserts (2 auto's, 3 props, and 10 costumes and with some luck maybe a creature card) per case!
