: Possible Variant? What do you think?
: Bryanjs14 August 27, 2005, 11:28:08 PM
I just opened up a couple boxes of POAU and among other things I pulled a pack with TWO Grimm Furs in it, along with a Daily Prophet with lettering, and an Aunt Marge auto but of all the pulls...this one caught my eye the most.

Now, I have about 9 other Lupin shirt costume cards, and all of them are Grey with a white line(s) through them. This one is a very very dark brown, and also, althrough you may not see it in the picture, there are four stitches at the very top left corner. The stitches appear to be a greyish color. Has anyone seen a Lupin Shirt like this before? I have never seen one on Ebay, nor seena  picture here on the shack...maybe I am just a little anxious for a great pull, but is this a good variant?

The Lupin Shirt costume come in two variations - the gray and the black version.  Artbox stated that the card swatches came from two different shirts.  This was discussed in an earlier topic:

hmmm, so is this particular verison of the "Lupin Shirt" card harder to find? I mean how many have turned op on ebay?

I'd say 70% of them are gray and 30% are black.  You can check the price guide descriptions, I usually enter if it was a gray or black swatch (I think Cindy enters the color also).  But it's kind of tedious checking each auction individually. :P

Artbox told me that the gray swatches are from a shirt and the black swatches are from a jacket.  They couldn't clarify whether the jacket was Lupin's suit or his cloak.

When the cards came out, I thought the number of each variation was pretty even.  Now, it does seem that there are more gray than black.  I have one of each, and my black swatch is almost identical to the one Popple has on eBay.
