HP wil have 5 autos, 10 cosutme cards and 4 props per case this time. + 12 or 18 film card type base cards.

I honestly don't understand why Artbox can't pack one more insert per case so that every box has two premium cards.  Most of the regular movie sets have nine boxes with two inserts and one box with three inserts.  Look at Rittenhouse.  They pack three and sometimes four inserts in a box.

a few on ebay really early sucks !!!! Since release date is july 12th
not mine of course

Artbox does do Potter well. As for the redemptions, they don't save costs since they have to print double the amount of cards just to make the redemptions....and most dealers and collectors don't know if there will be redemptions until they start opening the boxes. I think Ed was just trying to make a point and was not really complaining.

To be honest,i don`t see why we need redemption cards in the first place! :-\Simply put the cards in the cases already signed and if they do have a problem with any actors/actresses,put the reserve cards in instead.My only gripe about redemptions is that i have to send cards from the UK insured and it s just more money wasted on shipping! >:()
It`s risky enough getting cases sent unharmed or stolen but to return redemption cards back and then have them sent again is a bit strange and time consuming!Kay from Artbox is a wonderful person  :-*and she has helped me with any queries i have had in the past!

There IS a "movie deadline" as you put it. The next Potter film comes out in November, and they want to give collectors enough time between sets. I'm sorry but I am so sick and tired of people complaining about the same crap every single release. With Potter, it is redemptions, with Upper Deck, Topps it is sticker autos. Complaining on a forum and clutting up these threads with the same whining every single release isn't going to fix things. If you don't like redemptions, DON'T BUY THE PRODUCT. Artbox has a pretty flawless customer service record, and with the exception of ONE bad apple (the gleeson auto) they have had no problem redeeming every single redemption that goes into their products. So what if you have to wait to get an autograph? Do you know something about your date of expiration that makes you so eager to get a piece of cardboard signed by the actor in your hands upon release? Jeeze, give it a rest. At least the designs are always top notch giving the signers plenty of room, and the signatures are all ON CARD.

Do you know WHY there are redemptions? Because Artbox prints almost all of the cards in a set at ONE TIME. They print the base, the inserts, the autos, the costumes the props all at once more than likely to save a lot of fees with their printers. If that is what it takes to keep a good company afloat and keep producing quality, appealing sets then Artbox, keep issuing redemptions, because I know you are good for it.

Just looked at the auctions. They could have used a better picture for the Cedric card.....you can barely see him!.

They could always release the cases a couple of months later! when they do have the cards back :P

There was no deadline, like a movie release.  So why not wait and release it when you have them in hand?

@rns91294 I know what a redemption card is and why they use them! :o

breakdowns and numbers would be greatly appreciated. I am a little more angry that the cases were staggered in shipping, and my person I am buying from on the East coast doesn't even have his yet, while almost everyone else does

Absolutely amazing...  A complete checklist before my order is due!


Looks better than I expected!

Ed

for any one who is interested, 8 of the autographs are redemptions. the only autographs in the cases are lupin, quirrell and tom (the barkeep from PoA).

Also the clear cards seem to actually be two different sets. One set of nine black and red drawings and one set of nine blue monochromatic movie posters.

I have a redemption question: Can I fill them all out and mail them all together? Do you use Delivery confirmation on yours?? Thanks
