Hi all,

Thanks for the kind welcome.

I wasn't sure I was going to buy that amount to start with, so I bought 3 boxes, then 3 more, then caved in a week later and bought another 4.  So thats how I ended up with 10 individual boxes.  The company I use never advertises cases, only boxes, and as far as I know, they never give away the case card, only sells them - so I ended up buying one individually, but at least I knew which one I was then getting.  For all I know, they could been boxes from one case, or different cases that the company had, as they still have boxes even now for sale.

All of my boxes had 2 good pulls in them.  I had heard that some of the POA update (think it was that one?) that had lots of dud boxes going around.  The BHP seems to be much more evenly distributed.

My first post here – and the first time I've bought big:  Bought 10 individual boxes from an online store (I couldn't find anyone in the UK selling cases).  Here's my breakdown:

Box 4499
BT1 Draco
C6 Slughorn's Jacket - No. 532 / 580
Auto - Alecta Carrow redemption

Box 3389
BT1 Draco
C10 – Slughorn's long tie - No. 067 / 780
CFC8 – Slughorn (cell is a long shot of a Hogwarts corridor filled with students) No. 020 / 314

Box 3642
BT1 Draco
C11 – Ravenclaw Student Robes - No. 028 / 170.
Auto Amycus Carrow redemption

Box 3944
BT2 Snape
C12 – Slytherin Student Robes - No. 450 / 570
Auto - Alecta Carrow redemption  (duplicate)

Box 4773
BT4 Death Eater
C5 - Gryffindor Quidditch Uniform - No. 091 / 630
Auto - Lavender Brown (signed)

Box 5617
BT2 Snape
P6 – Slughorn's Christmas Party Drapes - No. 077 / 330
CFC5 – Tonks Defending (Cell is Harry's face stretching as he leans into pensieve).  No. 308 / 314

Box 1685
BT3 Bellatrix
C10 – Slughorn's long tie – No. 081 of 780  (duplicate but a different pattern)
CFC8 – Slughorn (cell is of Dumbledore in his office) - No. 013 / 314.

Box 2243
BT1 Draco
C8 – Gryffindor Student Robes – No. 256 / 580
P12 – Nose Biting Tea Cup Boxes – No. 212 / 295  (very pleased, nice section of the small writing on the teacup itself).

Box 2804
BT2 Snape
C12 - Slytherin Student Robes – No. 539 / 570
Auto - Alecta Carrow redemption  (third copy)

Box 6727
BT3 Bellatrix
C10 – Slughorn's long tie (again) - No. 148 / 780
P3 – Cushions from the Barrow – No. 171 / 480

Quite a few low numbers in there, and I'm slightly disappointed that I ended up with the same redemption auto 3 times, Slytherin robes twice and Slughorn's tie 3 times (that must have been quite a huge tie considering how many cards there are of it!  ).  Wished I'd found a McGonagall or Dumbledore costume, but never mind.  Though I am delighted with the film cell cards, and the prop cards, particularly the P12 – which is one I really wanted to pull.
