Wow! You are really lucky. I was goinjg to get mine but they were sold out three days after the girt set came out.   :'(

Hi sketchqueen!

I want to thank you guys for your extraordinary cards and tell you to keep up the good work! I love the cards!

Thanks for the welcome Roz! you guys are really nice! The thing that made me drop Decipher was that the first 10 sets were pretty good but for the final 9, they changed the rules to "liven it up" and now whole cultures are unuseable. Now you have to build a deck around a new culture. They are starting to faze out sets and you now can't use cards from the first block (first three sets) which had really good cards. They have made promos almst imposible to get. Before, you used to get promos in magazines and DVDs but now, you have to go to Gencon to get an exclusive promo, go to France to get another- it's crazy. If you ask me, they are just trying to get more money and I don't like it. I then heard of Rittenhouse and I had a feeling that they were a smaller company than Decipher. I like this because then they would be more likely to listen to the customer and be more down to earth. Also the cards are great! . I still like LOTR very much but I can't spend money on something that I can't use. The Stargate cards are fantastic and I like them better than the LOTR TCG. Sorry, I've seem to ramble on again! See ya guys later!

Hey guys!

I've joined this forum a little over a week and I've decided it is time I introduce myself. My name is Stephen and I live in Toronto, Canada. I am 15 years old and I am new to Harry Potter Trading cards. I first read Harry Potterand the PS when I was 6 or 7, I can't remember. The book just came out and my mom wanted to buy it for me. I read alot at an early age but I thought HP sounded stupid so I was not interested. My mom bought it anyways and it turned out to be one of the best books I have read. My first copy of HP is now worn out (it was the very first printing with the man with the brown beard on the back- Flammel?) but I noe have all hardcovers and I collect the special editions. I don't really like the movies as they leave way too much out, but I like the third movie. That was my favorite book and so far the best movie (though they left out Griffindor winning the quidditch world cup- how could they? My favorite movie is the LOTR, I loved the movies since I saw them and everyone in my school knows me as a LOTR freak. I used to play the LOTR TCG but I got  pissed (can I say pissed on these boards? ) with Decipher and dropped it, though my love for LOTR is strong. I then turned to Rittenhouse Archives for their Stargate SG-1 Costume Cards as Stargate is my all time favorite show (I'm know as a Stargate freak too ). Sadly nowhere in Toronto sells HP or SG-1 cards so I buy individual cards on E-bay (don't ask how a 15-year old got an account - I'm responsible so no one notices). I joined these boards because I love all the same things you guys do and I don't know much about the cards. I plan to be an involved member of the boards but I may ask many questions- sorry. I don't have a job as I have school right now, but I get my funds from saving my lunch mony and allowance- yes, 15 and get an allowance- If I save all my money and go with out lunch, I have $70 a week which is not bad. My name on ebay is flobo2020 and I buy mostly Stargate and Hermione Costume Cards. Sorry about the very long intro and hope to be friends!!

Wow, thanks! I did not even see that article on the newsletter! I'm going to head out to the CN Tower with my camera right now!

P.S. I collect Stargate cards and I wanted to know what set the card will be from. Thanks!!!

With the other issues, there is an interview with the person on the cover, but they could not get Orlando becuase he was to busy. If your subscription continues past issue 18, you can go to the fan club site and choose if you want to get a past issue or 5 decipher dollars for each magazine they owe you. If you do not pick by Jan. 31, you automatically get the money.

In Canada, we get all the Stargate shows last even though they are filmed here. However, I heard that for season 8, we'll gett it before the U.K. and the U.S. I can't wait for HP 6th book and Stargate 7 season cards. I of course can't wait for Atlantis and season 8.

Ultra-pro carry some very thick screwdowns that are 1/2 inch. I don't know the imperial system but I think that is 12mm in the metric system.

Hi guys,

I wanted to know how thick is the Hermione wooly sweater card and if it cand fit into an 130pt Ultra Pro screwdown.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm new to HP and have some questions to ask. I want to know what is the difference between hobby and retail packs and what makes hobby better (It is better, right?). I also want to know how do you guys store your costume/prop cards. I want them to be well protected but I would also like to look at them without fuss. My last question is where do you guys buy your cases and boxes? I live in Toronto, Canada and there are no stores that carry the artbox kind and I can only find them on e-bay. Thankd for your help! - Stephen
