The Yak Shack Forum

This is not exactly MM, but it does deal with the four movies released so far.
I made a couple of scans for general information to supplement what you may have already seen.
I have a set. The box is nice looking. It measures 8" x 6" x 4" (Wide x Depth [front to back] x Height)

Top:

Bottom - Showing Number:

Card backs, each movie has a different color:
Sorcerer's Stone/Philosopher's Stone - Purple;   4 cards;  Numbers  1  to  4;   Silver Fronts
Chamber of Secrets                         - Green;   8 cards;  Numbers  5  to 12;  Silver Fronts
Prisoner of Azkaban                         - Blue;    14 cards;  Numbers 13 to 26;  Silver Fronts

Also included in the box is a redemdption card for the four "Gold Standard" coins. The picture of the coins on the card shows that the "coins" are silver in color.

PS: Pay NO attention to the bottom of the box that says"For information on this specific product visit......"  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

*sigh* ::)
Looks like I'm going to buy one!! More money spent!! ::) :rofl:

Thanks for posting John!!  ;D

Thanks for posting John. :D  I must say that I'm a little disappointed with this set. :(  I thought all the cards would all be in full color, not color shades. :P  Maybe I'll feel differently once I get my set in hand though. ::)

They look better in hand of course. I've seen them on ebay with starting bids of $9.99 and Bins of $27.99/ $28.00. Shipping at $8.10 ++.

These boxes will not fit in the USP/ebay #4 box or in the Standard Rate box. Hence the $8.10, which is the starting Non Standard Priority Mail rate.
Tom is BINing them at $28.00 plus $8.10. The last time I looked.

I put in the Hagrid and Emma posters for McG and Mike.

By the way, the Ultra-Pro 4 pocket pages work very nicely with these cards.

Well that's good news, I bought a box of these a while ago :)

I'm right there with you Jackie ;)

Thanks for the info and pix John!! ;)

Just did a quick search and came across this auction for them ...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Harry-Potter-Premiere-Poster-Card-Sealed-Set_W0QQitemZ6250109314QQcategoryZ73570QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

... where the seller states in an update to his listing: ... "The updated release date from Artbox is now June 5th."

I've just checked Tom's auction and no mention was made of this date on there which makes me ask - is this right and if so I wonder where the first seller got the info from?
To be honest, I've not really kept up to speed on the release dates for ALL the up-coming Potter sets so if this has already been discussed somewhere else on the Forum then shout up and I'll amend this post! ;) ;D

Beats me where he got the date from. I have mine now and Captain Collect has them starting at $9.99 and another person as well then there are two (Tom) and another guy at $28.00/27.99.

Sci-Fi on here has them in stock, too.

They are available for immediate consumption... :rofl:

Personally, I like the set.

Fair enough John, can't argue with that can I ... I stand or rather I should say sit corrected!! ;) ;D ;D :rofl:

Looks like a nicer set than what I was expecting!

Thanks for the scans!

John,

Can you scan the redemption for us?

Thank you for posting the pics, John!  I had just come across the set a few days ago and was intrigued, but didn't know anything about it.  Now, after seeing it, I may have to scrap up some dough to get one.   ;D

Oh, this card collecting is going to be the end of me, yet.   ::) But, hey, you only have one life, right? Might as well live it.

Yes, but I dont want to live the last bits of it broke :rofl:

Thanks for the scans John. I really like the PoA poster ;D

 :rofl:

The other side is for your name and address.

Thanks :)

8 week :o Geez! How long are you waiting to send it in?

Do we know what the bonus card is?

I'm not sure Artbox knows just yet, they have at least 8 weeks to figure it out. :rofl:

Since Artbox does not return redemptions, I guess those wanting a 'complete' set will have to buy 2 boxes and only redeem 1 of the cards for the coin set. ::)

This mistake is going to cost Artbox dearly.  They'll be sending 4 fairly heavy cards to everyone, all over the world, that bought a set.  That's really got to eat into the profit margins.  But it was probably better than having the cards sitting around taking up space while they try to get the Update out and then Memorable Moments right after that.

Ed

I found this BIN!!

Super price Jackie but only good for US buyers! They state clearly on their auction they won't do international shipping ... pity that! :-\

NO FAIR!!! >:() >:() >:() >:() >:() >:()

yeah I know ... still ... it's their  loss by not accepting international buyers which in turn means ppl will look to sellers like Tom to get them instead! ;) :P

For info purposes, it weighs 1 pound 1 ounce. Then when you add the Box and the Packing material it probably brings it up to three pounds.
That means the shipping except via "turtle" mail may cost more than the cards themselves.

No way it goes into any flat rate envelopes.

See if this link displays for you: (Based on a 3 lb. net weight)

The seller probably figures nobody wants to pay that much. Sort of like a silk shirt which cost $12.00 new and then $18.00 to have it cleaned.

Just spotted this up for auction, Be fast though finishes on 1st May.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HARRY-POTTER-PREMIERE-POSTER-CARD-SET-0001-1100-SET-ONE_W0QQitemZ6274474331QQcategoryZ219QQssPageNameZWD2VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-1738318-5463217?loc=http%3A//cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D6274474331)

The seller says he has box no. 1 and 2 in hand!! :o

Yes, direct from the auction:
"You are bidding on ONE set of the Harry Potter Premiere Poster Trading Card Sets.  There are only 1100 sets made and I have set ONE and set TWO.  The rarest, impossible to get unless you buy them from me, sets.  This auction is set ONE for sale.  See picture for numbers.  They are coming to you Mint and Never opened."

I salute his salesmanship. Well done. This a box never to be opened. Do you think it will be?

Now an attempt at some satire:

The buyer of this box may rest assured that the Cards contained herein are in the most desired state of mint condition. They are coming to you not only "Mint and Never Opened", but also the new  highly desired "Unseen By Human Eyes" MINT CONDITION. Because as we all know, some famous physicist once said (I paraphrase here...don't quote ME!.), "An object can be changed merely by looking at it." So in that spirit, be the first to obtain a box of cards in such a pristine and desired MINT state----"Unseen By Human Eyes." Guaranteed not to have been changed by one errant photon of light. By the way, the buyer of any of my boxes may be asured that all of my boxes have a unique number. I have number 137 of 1100, only one box number 137 was made, you must agree that elusive number 137 is as equally rare as the elusive number 1 of 1100. etc. So, to paraphrase a famous Chicago political saying, please bid early and bid often.

See the other thread about how some new boxes of cards don't even make it to the front door of the house unopend.

PS:
Oh, by the way, The manufacturer knowing that this box would never be opened, actuallity filled with cut pages from old phone books carefully weighed to exactly match the weight of a genuine a box with real cards. (Saves on print runs and minting coins for redemption, too!)
 
$48.00 presently plus $8.60 shipping. Well done, indeed!

All this is tongue-in-cheek, so the usual no offense meant disclaimer. Just trying to poke a little fun.
I know that I'm a crazy collector, too. RADAR numbers...gimme more. Right, Roz?
No doubt it, I must cancel my subscription to MAD MAGAZINE.

 :rofl: :rofl: I love it  :rofl: :rofl:

 :rofl: That was great!

They seller did great. The auction closed at $51.00. Very nice gain for the seller. And I'm equally sure that the buyer is totally satisfied. Number 1 is a very desirable number.

I just got my set today from Sci-fi cards and I'm totally pleased!  ;D  They look better than I thought, and the box is cool too.  There were a lot of posters that I had never seen before so I was suprised with some of them.  Is everyone sending in thier redemption now or waiting?

I just received mine from Tom and I agree with Kelly!! It's a lot better than I was expecting!! My favorite is Harry upside down looking at the Monster Book!!  ;D

I think I might have to order one of these sets! What exactly are they? Harry Potter movie posters from around the world, US?
From the pics John posted, they look wonderful, really vivid.

Does anyone know what the other card is that you will get with the redeemed 4 coin cards?

Bitsy, all of the cards seem to be posters in US English.

Martyn, I have no idea what the card will be.

Do you all remember the way the frames on the ULTRA RARE and RARE HP Film  Flipz Cards were made. They are a heavy metal foil that are etched looking.
The silver card frame itching is of four different designs, one design per movie. The Gold cards are also etched looking and with matching movie frame designs of the silver cards

Thank You, John.  :) They sound really nice.  I think I may have to splurge on one...the nice thing is they aren't as expensive as a Hobby Box.   :D

Did anyone send in their coin redemption card yet?

I sent my one card in. I think you ought to send them to Artbox's new address:

ARTBOX ENTERTAINMENT

929 Calle Negocio

Unit D

San Clemente, CA  92673  USA


They aren't in Irvine any longer. I wouldn't risk them being lost in forwarding.

Thanks John!!

Has anyone received their coin cards yet? I sent mine off ages ago and haven't had anything back yet. With all the fun over GOFU I had forgotten about this redemption.

I haven't received my coin cards yet and I live pretty close to Artbox.

I got an e-mail saying they received my card.

Hi I got an email saying they received my card and I would receive cards in about 2 weeks.

Morning All, ;) :D ;D

Can you still buy this set as I want to get them for my girlfriend who like me is a huge Potter fan to celebrate our 2nd year together,and also to show her how much I appreciate the way she looks after me with my back injury and nurses me when she's on a day off work.

Cheers

Paul

There are plenty on eBay. :)

Thanks KBMUm I feel all important now I've been highlighted, :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: unless I'm in trouble :rofl: :rofl:

Cheers

Paul

Has anyone heard info or received the coins from this set yet?  ???

STILL WAITING MYSELF ???

I asked Artbox this week and they said the coin cards were still in production.

::) I hate redemptions!  ::)

Got this e-mail 7-27-2006


Hi John,

The delivery of the coin cards are delayed due to production.

We hope to have it within a month.

Sorry!

Kay

Just a note that the same set (ish), was included in some of the Goodie Boxes at comiccon

the differences being

1: There was NO coin redemption card

2: ALL The cards are Gold no silver ones

Here are some pictures

I have a set and want to send the redemption card away is it best to put in another envelope and send recorded airmail and also is the address on card right as I seem to remember someone saying artbox had moved and dont want to send to their old address please advise?

Cheers

Paul

One of the UK members could advise you about shipping, but here is the new address.

ARTBOX ENTERTAINMENT
929 Calle Negocio, Unit D
San Clemente, CA  92673
USA

Thanks Kbmum for the info has any uk members sent theirs off if so how did you send and was it expensive,just wanted to find out best possible way of sending.
The cards are superb quality although a few of the cards are scratched across the print this must of happened during production and coming off of print.

Cheers

paul

If some of your cards are damaged, you could send an email to customer service and see if they have replacements.  Then you could mail the scratched cards with the redemption. :)

just emailed artbox about the gold coins and got a responsive in 20 minutes here it is

Yes, we did receive your card on 5/31, but unfortunately we are experiencing a production delay and it'll be another couple of weeks.
 
We apologize for the inconvenience, and as soon as the cards arrive, we will process the shipments immediately.

They're finally sending out the Coin Cards! ;D  I just got my set.  The cards are oversized and came in a folded 4-pocket page.  The "Exclusive Bonus Cards" are gold Promos 1 and 2 for the MM set. ::)

I noticed theres no PoA coin :-\

Not yet. :)  I think two of the coins are from SS and two from COS.  So, maybe we'll see POA and GOFU in another set.

Check Tom's current auctions - he has the others up for sale as I write ...  ;)

Here they are.  There is also an 8-card bronze set.

Does anyone know if the cards Tom has up for sale are larger than the ones in the MM set as well?  I know I could ask Tom but I am sure someone here will know the answer  :)

They are the exact same size. I just put a promo in the Movie Poster box. Perfect fit.

Mine arrived today and I have just read the back of all four the cards, it says "one embedded Gold Standard Coin etc." but the coins look silver to me. They look silver on the posted scan too, has anyone received any gold coins?

All i know is that they should be silver, all is okay. "Gold" Standard stands also on the silver box topper cards. Maybe it means something like "Premium Standard".

I got my 4 "silver" cards yesterday. They are nice. They fit the 4 pocket pages. The truth is the bigger format shows more detail, but.. (isn't there always a "but"?), I kind of wish that for consistancy that Artbox had made all of the cards the same size. And wouldn't it have been nice to have put all 16 cards (4 large silver, 8 large bronze, 2 small gold and 2 small silver) randomly into the MM boxes as inserts and number them CC1-CC16. Then they would have been true chase cards. Maybe they will re-do the large ones in the small format in the future. The Gold cards were not really a good two case incentive because they were not consistant with the other case incentives...un-numbered and they didn't have a costume or prop swatch as the other CI cards do.
Opinions... aren't they great???

If you talk about "all" cards, you should have said "all 20 cards". 8 large silver, 8 large bronze, 2 small gold and 2 small silver ... ::)

Are the coins larger, or just the cards?

Just the cards are larger, the coins are the same size in both versions.

Right you are, Thomas. I forgot about the Large Silver CC5-CC8.
The coins are the same size.

I have a quick question about the lager CC1-CC8
coin cards....How is everyone storing them?!  ???

I'm storing them in regular 4 pocket pages, works fine. :)

OK Good! Just ordered some! THanks!
