Hi Gang,
   I just broke 2 boxes of GOF and thought I'd share my pulls with you.

Box 1:
Box Topper BT3
Beauxbatons costume card #C7 #d /800
Igor Karkaroff/Predrag Bjelac auto

Box 2:
Box Topper BT1
Film Cell, CFC7 (Underwater) #d /300
Potter/Radcliffe costume card #C1 #d /400
A Diggory/Jeff Rawle auto

   I think I did pretty good for 2 boxes, but I'm sure I'm done for now 
   Does anyone have any of the foil inserts for trade? I need #'s R5, R6, & R8 to finish the set. I'd be willing to try and work a trade with ya. Thanks ~ Mark

Thanks for all the replies gang! I've been talking to a few of the YakShack forum folks through emails, (and I appreciate the bids on my auctions     )
   I'm looking at shipping to any International winners using Global Priority. I know I won't be able to use the USPS to prove that I've mailed the packages, but I'm thinking that everyone that I've talked with so far, will be honest enough that I shouldn't have a problem with any Paypal issues    Thanks All! ~ Mark

Here's some info about USPS insurance and delivery confirmation for international mail:

Thanks for the link. I've still got a lot to learn about International shipping, but I'm gettin there  ~ Mark

My last 2 boxes 

Here is what I pulled from the 2 single boxes that I just got in:

Box 1

Neville Longbottom's Black Cloak
Harry Potter's Close Up Quidditch Robe

Box 2

Sleeping Bag

Not exactly what I had hoped for  , but I'm still pleased with the breaks. If anyone out there needs a foil card or a box topper card to fill their set, please send me a PM---not sure if I'll have what you need, but if I have it, (and you don't mind a plain white envelope for shipping), I'll send it for you for free. Thanks ~ Mark

Hi Gang,
   I've got some POAu cards on ebay---LMK if you are in the UK, and we'll discuss shipping. Thanks! ~ Mark

Mack,
   Thanks for the reply! I'm still kinda in the dark on 1 issue though:------Paypal requires a tracking # to cover sellers on transactions that are collected through them. I always send my cards, (here in the US), with delivery confirmation. Will I have to sell my cards to my friends in the UK with insurance to satisfy Paypal's policy? Or is there a cheaper rate that will provide some kind of tracking number?---
   I look forward to hearing advice from any of you that buy cards from us "Yankees" 



Thanks again, (and sorry to be such an idiot  )----~ Mark

Thanks for pointing that out!  ----I think most of these have some red lettering on them.

I just looked at my map card and noticed that the lettering is tipped in red ink also!



(you'd never see it unless you looked close)

 I would have never noticed, Thanks!  ~ Mark

Hi Gang,
   I'm gonna post some of my POAU cards on ebay tonight (3 day auction), I'm kinda new at shipping to the UK, so my auctions will read "US shipping only", but I'll work with anyone here if you'll contact me and help me learn about the shipping cost's 

   Not sure if the site allows ebay links, but you can pm me for my ebay user-name. ----Thanks ~ Mark

   PS----I got the 2 single boxes today, and plan to bust them later this evening. I'll post my pulls here.

Thanks for the replies so far! I think the map card wins my vote for "favorite pull" out of the case 



Next 5 boxes-----

Box #6:
Sleeping Bag

Box #7:
Harry Potter's Close Up Quidditch Robe

Box #8:
Professor Remus Lupin's Jacket

Box #9
REDEMPTION auto Jimmy Gardner as Ernie Prang  (again  )
Cedric Diggory's Hufflepuff Quidditch Robe

Box #10:
Professor Remus Lupin's Jacket, (again  )
35mm Card A werewolf loose in the Forbidden Forest
­Lee Ingleby auto as Stan Shunpike

All in all, not too bad, (just wish I hadn't pulled the doubles)  ----I suppose 3 auto's from 1 case has me beating the odds though 

I'll post up any other scans that interest's anyone, and I'll be sure and post my other 2 boxes as they come in. Thanks for the read, ~ Mark

Here's the prop cards, I'll break the last 5 boxes soon and report back  ~ Mark

Hello,
   I've started working on the 10 box break of POAU. Kinda pleased so far.......

Box 3:
35mm Card Courtyard
REDEMPTION Jimmy Gardner as Ernie Prang

   I'll try to put up scans if anyone wants to take a peek, also, I'll be posting the final 5 boxes later this evening. (I also have 2 single boxes in route to my mailbox that should be due anyday. Thanks ~ Mark

Thanks for the replies and "welcome" posts everyone!

    I was kind of hoping that I would get advice that the case should be busted  .
   I've bought sportscard cases in the past, (as an investment),  only to "fold under the pressure" and open them "just to see" 

I'll be sure and report back here with my pulls from all 12 boxes. ~ Nail

Hello,
   I'm a long time collector of sports cards, (mainly baseball), however, I  just recently started looking at the non-sports cards. I have a couple of single boxes of Potter POA Update cards incoming, and a sealed 10 box case.
   I'm still trying to decide whether to open the case, or sit on it for a while. What do you "Potter Pros" think    ?

   I'll open the 2 single boxes, but really don't know if the case would be a good break. Please LMK what you think. Thanks, ~ Mark
