Thats a high price but it is the 50 case card :-\ I'm guess under 10 bidder but I could be wrong. Will see

This is probably one of the best 50 case variants available (having London on it).  I reckon it could easily hit the $2,000 mark  :o

so what do you guys think is it 40 of each of the 25 case coin cards or the 3 make up 40 cards ???

I definately knew that the Train Ticket would look like this. Just have a look at my first imagined self-made card. After i saw the letter-cards, i knew they would take this close look of the ticket from the movie. I was thinking yesterday to make a new self made card with the Sorcerer's Stone artwork, just because i was absolutely sure, this card wood look exactly this way. Unfortunately i didn't. It would have been very funny, this card would have looked 100 % identically to the real card we can see now. I wish, i had made it.  :'(

And it is card number 27!!!  My favorite number!!! Shoot me now, somebody, please :o=

I would guess the total is 40 (but it would be nice to have 120 floating around  ;D)

there are 3 on ebay at the moment and 2 of them are numbered the same for the 25 case cards so there is actually 40 of each version of this card out there

If Tom didn't make a mistake, the total is definately 120, 40 of each coin. He sells 2 coins with number 15/40.  ;)

gimli was a few seconds faster ...  ;D

I just heard back from tom Not a type error both are numbered 15 so there are 3 different cards numbered to 40

but with 1 card per 25 cases that meand that only 32 have been released of 120 cards

of course maybe the others are available to everyone in the packs you never know they have said about doing that in the past but never has it happened  :-\

What do you think they will do with the rest of the cards.  By this calculation they made enough for a maximum of 3,000 cases.  Surely they don't expect that many to be damaged  ???

Just seen Gimli's edit.  That would be really nice  ;D

Yes there are 3 different incentives. I will have to update the price guide but I will just have to hope none end tonight, I need to get to bed ;)

Is that a McGonagall/Cat case card  :o I'd love one of them. Oh dear  ::)

oh wow this is a nice looking card too

The gringots coins look HOT I wish I could get one  :(

I have just noticed it has it's first bid... and by a peartree owner no less :)

Will be an interesting auction. I knew, the PTL owners will be interested in this card, too.  8)

Well it's the "peartree" of this set... although those Gringott's coins will also be tricky little blighters to source!

The train ticket card is AWESOME! Damn Artbox... why this prop? :'(

Sold for $1625, I actually think that will look a very good deal in the long run

Yeah, darn it. I shudda went higher. Maybe next time. Can't win 'em all. :rofl:

 ;D  No, you shouldn't. ;)

Think it's time he curbed his spending or something Tower ? :D

Definately.  ;D  And wasn't he the one who told us to open not more than 5 cases. ;)  ;D

Yes that's right as he wanted all the rest for himself ;) :D

He hee - John we are just jealous that you hold a near master set in your hands and yet neither of us have seen a HPSS card in the flesh yet!

Well, i already have promo 1, 2 and 4 here.  ::)  ;D

Oops good point...

But promo cards... do they really HAVE to count?

Not really.  ;D

Well the good news is that the movie/cinema circuit seems to have a block buster summer line up of films to entertain us until the "Chamber of Secrets" set arrives this fall.
Then the fall release of the new Harry Potter, to hold us over while we are waiting for "Goblet of Fire" set in the Spring.

Here's a link  of what the new  the new set Box Designs may look like:

I thought that the Chamber of Secrets set was coming out in the summer and Goblet of Fire in October (just before the movie is released in November). ???

I thought the same thing also. ???

It says 2006!!  Makes sense though.  You don't want them to rush two sets in in just 5 months.

I don't know about the rest of you, but my budget can't stand the strain of 3 sets in one year. :P  :P

I hear you :o

 :rofl:  If I bought as many cases as you did, I couldn't afford 3 sets in 1 year either. ;D  ;)

Yes but I would rather wait for COS and get GOF first we've waited long enough anyway. Get it while its fresh.
