Hi! I opened my two boxes. I don't know which puzzle cards were in each, but I did get a full puzzle set, plus one extra card. I did, however, put my base sets together and got a total of 5 complete sets with absolutely NO extra cards left over :o. I thought that was great for the two boxes. Anyway, here are my pulls:

Box 5000/6000
BT3
C3 - Ron - 11/500

Box 1181/6000
BT2
Professor Grubbly-Plank - Apple Brook redemption
C7 Harry Quidditch robe & Oliver Wood sweater - 150/430 - yellow swatch.

I was pretty happy, especially since that was the one double costume I really wanted from this set ;D

Well here it is.
To clear up any possible confusion, etc., the C and P cards don't have a zero after the C or P.
Example C1 is not C01 and P8 is not P08. I put the zeros in myself because some "stewpid"
programs will sort like this: C1, C11, C12, C2, C3 or P1, P11. P2.
With the added zeros even the "stoopid" programs sort C01,C02,C03,C04,C05,C06,C07,C08,C09,C10,C11,C12, etc.
JUST HOW DOES ONE SPELL  "STOUPID", ANYWAY?

Very pleased, I haven't got round to sorting sets and puzzle cards. Have put many of the above on  :ebay: as I was tempted by Tom's
Costume and prop sets which seemed good value. Think this could turn out to be my favourite set, there are some lovely variants to collect - Tower's No1 is unbelievable an incredible card - wish I'd seen it first.
Have fun,
Alan

                      Dual Prop Card  P9  Defence Against the Dark Arts Books - Cover & Pages  187/190
                      Costume C3 Ron  369/500

Box No, 0213:-  BT3
                      Dual Costume Hermione & Harry  C8 (Harry swatch a 2 colour variant)  331/350
                      Auto Robert Jarvis

Box No, 2617:-  BT1
                      Dual Costume Ron & Ginny C11  133/300
                      Auto Ryan Nelson

Box No, 4069:-  BT4
                      Dual Costume Ron & Ginny C11 (2nd this case, 3rd in 2 cases) 259/300

Box No, 3833:-  BT2
                      Dual Prop P8 Yule Ball Drapes & Programmes (similar variant to my 1st case - but creased swatch) 199/400)
                      Costume Ron C3 Ron (again 2nd this case , 3rd in 2 cases)  188/500

My luck was in to get the 2 top autos from only 2 cases - think they were the same cluster judging by the similarities between the 2 cases and the fact I had no costume cards in the 2nd case I hadn't already had in the 1st. Also 2 of the props were  the same.
Also 3 cards were duplicated in this case - the 2nd Tolga Safer was actually a pleasant surprise - I had been expecting it to be a Grubbly-Plank!
Will probably buy another case or two in the hope of pulling some different costumes & props!

I just opened my first 2 boxes and here are the results:

Box #1785/6000:

 ;D ;D Dual Auto Harry and Sirius (OOTP)  ;D ;D

This is my first ever Daniel Radcliffe Autograph card and has got to be one of the best if not THE best card i have ever pulled!.
I was down to the last 4 packs in the box with props, costumes or autos when the card came out. I thought i was in for my usual luck when it comes to card pulling so i couldn't believe it when i pulled this card. I have never had this kind of luck before and i am over the moon!. ;D
I had to look at it for a couple of minutes and read it very slowly just to make sure that it actually said what i thought it said :o..LOL!.
Considering that this was my first and only MM2 box i have been very lucky indeed! ;D

amazing luck for stony. and lightning has struck twice!

i also only purchased 1 box, #1782/6000.

box topper was BT4
puzzle cards were #1,3,4,6,8

and the best pull--the harry/serius redemption card!!!

does anyone happen to know how many of the radcliffe/oldman cards were signed?

Wow!. Congratulations on your amazing pull richbarb94 ;D

Have you only just opened your box today?.
A very spooky and fantastic coincidence if you did. :D

Has anyone else who was lucky enough to find this card too sent theirs off to Artbox yet?.
And if so have you received your signed ones back yet?.

Congratulations to you both ;D

I pulled my Harry/Sirius, and sent it at the end of April.

It has not come back yet, but I'm not sure if Artbox even has them yet. Anyone know??

Thank you  ;D



I would like to know that too, because this is my first card and because it is an ultra rare card i don't really want to send it until i know that Artbox has the signed cards.

Also as i live in the UK can any UK forum members who have sent off redemption cards before please PM me or please post here exactly what to do when it comes to sending off redemption cards as this is my first card that i will have sent to Artbox and i don't really want it to get lost.
Any help or a step by step guide ;) would be much appreciated. ;D

I sent eight redemptions in April and got seven of them yesterday - still waiting for the Gleeson  >:( - the man needs to get his pen working.
I put each card in a solid top loader with a slip of paper with my name and full address and taped the loader to stop anything falling out. I also wrote a covering letter listing all the cards I was redeeming. This has worked each time I've sent redemptions. Sharon also has a Potter/Black redemption that I will be sending when I'm in San Diego. At least this cuts out the overseas risk one way.  ;D  If you want me to do the same for you (offer open to all UK Shackers), pm me first and we'll take it from there.

PM sent! ;D

I used to wait until the signed cards were "in hand" before I sent in the redemption too, but with recent Inkworks events I worried that it might start getting tricky elsewhere after the printed expiry dates. So I packed up my Mad-Eye and all others received since then and sent them off. I figure there won't be as much danger of unredeemed cards finding their way into SDCC goodie bags.

I put my redemptions in sleeves and put a return-address label on each sleeve, and accompany the batch with a letter with the list of the items in that mailing. Artbox has always been right-on-center with their record keeping, and I've always received the right cards back even if they came at different times because of availability. Even if the date I sent the redemptions was later than the expiry date.

Thanks for the redemption advice allender. Much appreciated. :)

Got some great advice and lots of questions answered by Bogleg too which has been an enormous help so i just want to say a BIG BIG thanks! :)

I still don't know if i should send the card off in the next couple of weeks or wait until the signed cards are in hand.
I did send an e-mail to Artbox yesterday but from what Bogleg tells me i think i could be in for a very long wait indeed for a reply ;D.
The card doesn't expire until march next year so i've got a bit of time to make my mind up.

Hi Stoney,

I responded to your PMs, but am not sure if you received , as my internet has been having  issues >:().

I am in th U.S., and sent my Redemption  along with a self addressed pre-paid insured envelope and added signature confirmation for extra piece of mind. I also sent an email to the customer service department, but have yet to hear back from them. I'm not even sure if they have received the autos yet.

Looks like you got some great advise.

Good luck
Fizzingwizbee63

Hi Fizzingwizbee,
LOL!...I don't know why but i had it in my head head that you were in the UK :P!.
I'm such an idiot..ha..ha!.

Many thanks for your help and advice though. It's much appreciated.
 ;D
I have had some fantastic help from some fellow shackers (especially bogleg and ukpatriotsfan) and i now feel a lot more confident about sending off the redemption.
I can't wait to post it now!.

I have looked at Artbox's website for an e-mail address but the only one i can seem to find is for the sales department.
I don't know if this is the right one or not?.

Hey Stoney,

I just sent you a third PM, however my outbox does not show that any were sent.

Please let me know if any were received. ???


Thanks
Fizzingwizbee

Hi Fizzingwizbee63,

No worries.
All your PM's have been getting to me. I've just sent you another PM ;D

My second MM2 box!. (And i said wasn't going to buy any of this set)
Who was i kidding!! ;D

Box # 2526/6000
BT2
PZ1, 2, 4, 6, 8
C3 Ron (COS) 378/500
P9 Defence Against The Dark Arts Books--Covers And Pages (OOTP) 181/190

 ;D Finally sent my Harry and Sirius Dual Auto Redemption off today!  ;D

Does anyone know if the signed cards are available yet or when they might be ready?.
I have contacted Artbox twice in the last few weeks but they have not replied.

We received two of our three boxes today.  So I'll give you the breakdowns for each.

Box 5574/6000
BT5 - Dumbledore's Army
Costume 4 (Uncle Vernon) 295/600
Pz 1,3,5,7,9
One Complete Base Set, a second missing only card 52, and 41 extras.

Box 4456/6000
BT3 - Harry
Costume 5 (Aunt Petunia) 517/700
Prop - Double Prop 8 (Yule Ball Drapes and Programs) 002/400  (almost got a number 1, that woulda been cool, though the program piece is
                             only about half the size of the opening, the others I've seen cover the whole swatch opening)
Pz 2,4,6,8,9
One Complete Base Set, a second missing only card 52 (again), and 37 extras.

So we got the whole puzzle between the first two boxes, I'm not terribly happy with the costumes, but the prop card is a nice hit for our first box.  Hopefully the third box may have an auto for us.  And some extra number 52's, haha.

I'll let you know what we get in the third box, when it arrives.

Alan

Congrats on the prop card! That was a good pull. Some of the swatches were just cut smaller, so don't worry about that.

Someone here might have the spare card #52's for you if you don't get them in your last box. Post in the Diagon Alley section that you need them.

Fingers crossed for an auto in that last box. Let us know!

So now that I've listed my breaks for the first two, I just got curious about the 'value' of low number cards.  I see a lot of them going for much higher prices on Ebay, some #1's asking for like 5 times what a mid-range number would go for.  Anyhow, is the value truly that much higher? Or is it just relative? Depending on who is looking at it?  I'm contemplating a number one film cell card they have at the local shop, but I'm just not sure, haha.  Any help is appreciated, thanks!

i recently satisfied my craving for a case of hp cards. here is what is pulled

            box        foil

As with most pricing, it's a relative thing.

You have to remember that Buy It Now prices on eBay don't mean that it will ever sell for that amount.  Some sellers just hope someone uninformed or flush with cash comes along.

I've seen sales or 2x regular pricing for #1 and Last # cards, but even that is the high end of things.  Most "low numbers" that aren't #1 are strictly confversation pieces and rarely bring much of a premium.

My 2 cents...

Ed

Like Ed said, it's all relative.  Some people like to collect cards that are numbered first or last in the print run (and are willing to pay for it).  Personally, I think the swatch or cells are more important.

I agree with Cindy and Ed. I think the swatch is more important to me personally, but I also like to have numbers that maybe mean something to me on cards that don't have variant swatches. I do have a last numbered card for a Harry Potter set and a number 1 card from a 24 set, but I pulled both cards from my boxes. 

So our third box wasn't much luck for us, but that's ok, I only paid 16 bucks for it, so the risk was low.  Here's the breakdown

Box 2936/6000

1 Complete Base Set, a second set missing only #52 (Same as the last two boxes, collation has been ridiculous)
41 Extra Base Cards

Costume 6 - 129/590
Puzzle Cards 1, 3, 5, 7, 8
Box Topper 1

Hopefully some more boxes coming in soon, of MM2 and a few others, hopefully we'll have more luck than a single Dudley costume, haha.

Alan

Ok, so we received 12 1/2 total boxes today, one more on the way.  I'll post the first 2 1/2, than the case.

Ordered the Ci1 incentive with the case, it wasnt numbered on the website, they sent me 002/380.

The company I purchased from threw in 12 extra packs, and I figured they'd be searched, I was wrong.

From the 12 packs we received
Pz 1, 4, and 6
and a Bjelac/Janevski dual auto redemption

Not bad for free I'd say, haha.

Alright, so thats it for today, I think we did ok, got a few things we needed.  Didnt hit any of the ultra rare autos, but the variants were cool, a lot of low numbers in this case, 5 of them right around 50 and below.  The buckbeak prop was probably the hit of the case I think.  Alright, we'll I'll post the other boxes once they arrive.

Alan

Ok, so yes, the set is far outdated, but ran across a very very good deal on some boxes, so we picked them up hoping to hit a card or two we're missing from our set.

We're going to re-write our need/want/have list on the Diagon Alley section, so check it out please!

Alan
