Harry Potter Auto Confirmed?

I would prefer a "Fred and George" Dual Auto    

What should i do with another Hermione? Totaly useless  

[beckham1]

OK,
I was thinking about the auto's if there are potientially 14 auto's and lets assume they double the production run of cases to 1,000 cases (10,000 boxes) and the auto's fall 2 per case as rumored...............................................................................then there would be a total of 2,000 auto's among the 14 signers ((Of course this is all rough math so math experts leave me be on this)).

So it would stand to reason about 150 signed cards per signer

Somewhere I read the guess was there were only 75 hermiones signed for the first release of 500 cases.

So all the auto's will be as rare as the hermione (in respect to the cases produced).  
Is this making sense?
Is my logic off?

There were only an estimated 75 Hermione autos with the first set.  For those of us who were not one of the lucky few, it'll be nice to have another chance at getting one.

I think I saw that posted on a checklist site

I think it is called jeff allenders house of checklists or something like that and it has approximate numbers of the auto runs posted...... of course I could be wrong some other members would probably be able to tell you more accurately.

about 150 signed cards per signer sounds right.

in POA we have

Fred and George Weasley (both limited to 500)
Neville Longbottom (limited to 425)
Ginny Weasley (limited to 425)
Cornelius Fudge (limited to 375)
Madam Rosmerta Redemption (limited to 300)
Remus Lupin (limited to 200)
Albus Dumbledore (limited to 150)
Sirus Black (limited to 125)
Hermione Granger (limited to 75)

thats a total of 3075 in 5000 Boxes.

Hmm 4 more cards... lets say 750 Cards and 10000 Boxes

tahts a total of 3825 in 10000

Beckham, here's the checklist:

Arghh today is not my day. WHY did i have a different checklist    


Could it be that the checklist on the link you postet is WITHOUT the "Hot Boxes" ? ONLY 50 Hermiones and 25 of them in "hot boxes"?? Cant believe that

But he wrote "Autograph numbers are approximate, based on market "scarcity.""

[kbmum]

Don't fret, T&F!  I think there's more than one checklist.  Artbox did not release the statistics about the number of autos produced, so collectors have had to guess how many were made.  It was easier with the props and costumes, since the numbers are on the backs.

I read somewhere that Gary Oldman was asked at the US POA premiere how many auto cards he had signed.  He gave a figure around 300.  Either he was wrong, or Artbox held back many of them.

[samwise16]

I asked David Thewlis how many he signed and he said 300 and asked Matthew Lewis and he said 600

Just to aid you all a little I have just received my Rosmerta Redemptions back and each one comes with a numbered sheet which matches the number of autos
At this point only 120 autos have been redeemed so they are not as plentiful as everyone may think!

[kbmum]

It's interesting that all of these figures are higher than stated on the checklists.  Why would Artbox hold back so many, say one-third of a particular auto?  They couldn't have expected to replace that many damaged cards.

Give to employee's   and their familes and their next door neighbours

Hmm interesting stuff MPC - I sent off my autos a wee while back so I'll post how many more they have redeemed since yours ... probably none

Can I ask MPC what was the highest number you got? Was it 120? My letter was printed the 13th ofOctober and they were then up to 134

[Tea_and_Fruit]

I received my redemption end of Mai and there was NO number on the letter  

[beckham1]

some additional info maybe harry auto will be a redemption card?? copied from an email I received from a ebay seller....pretty reliable

"Nice to hear back from you. I expect I'll be hearing from others over the
next few days.
Well, as expected, Artbox raised their price. But, still less than most
other Manufacturers.
I have 2 cases on ebay right now for $675 each + $10 S&H if paid for by
tomorrow. or $25 S&H if paid after that. Given the news I got this morning.
I'm going to have to go back and update my pricing on ebay for the boxes
and cases.
Anyway, at the moment, I can only offer you one case for $650 delivered.
I can send you a paypal invoice once the site is back up.
Oh yeah, I have some really great news for you. But, you probably already
know. Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) is signing. Autos are already back and in
hand. and.....so is Daniel Ratcliffe. However, his autos are not back yet.

I'll keep you posted. This product should sell like hot cakes!!"

FYI everyone!

It's just under the date on the top right hand side

[Tea_and_Fruit]

There it is.... #8  

[Roz]

Cool - you were early - what date was that can I ask?

[Tea_and_Fruit]

I sent in the redemption directly after receipt of my boxes at the beginning of May. After 2 weeks (End of May) the autograph came
