I got my quad card in the mail today.  The letter was numbered 26 and dated August 8, 2006.

Ok, so this might be a dumb question, but i though the first task tent was just a beige canvas with some black floral designs every now and then.  So where on the tent is there blue for this auction to have blue on the jumbo prop card.  I mean, im really interested in buying this card, but if it being blue is less rare than a black one then ill go and buy one with black.

Ok, so im sorry if i dont post this right, but ill try my best, this is my first time posting in the cards thread.  I thought since the cards were so popular I might buy a box or two so I bought 2 boxes off ebay for 51.99 Buy it Now a piece.  I got them in today and here goes.

QUAD REDEMPTION  (Highlight of my Day)-----------------------------******************************

So I bought two boxes hoping to get at least one costume card and one auto and I would have been happy, but I got a lot more, and I couldn't have asked for anything more than the quad card 

Thanks Mike.  Hey, i found this link today and I just thought I'd share it for all you Hermione Granger fans out there.  Noble Collections is coming out with an illuminating wand for her.  The link doesnt currently have a picture yet, which is which you cant find the item on Noble's main catalog I think.  Hence why you must use the direct link.

Looks like it will be coming out within the next two months.  Maybe they'll hae a picture soon.

Yea, the only problem with that is 1. i have no use for anything other than gold, 2. The minimum order you can buy is 35, and 3. It costs 80 pounds to get it shipped to the US (Shipping and taxes came out to be 104 pounds total for anything i buy, so thats a little ridiculous)

JTobcat.

A friend of mine has found the paper Heres a link

http://www.brightideasmarketing.co.uk/acatalog/cellophane_embossed.html

however, gold is currently out of stock

Sweet, now hopefully they ship to the US 

Well since we're posting pictures of new items, i guess ill post a picture of my train ticket here.  Apparantly i forgot to post a pic when i finished it   

haha, a link would help

this place still sells them for cheaper then you can find on ebay. Its 59.99 and shipping is 10, so its $69.99 total

Ok, Im going to ask a dumb question, but this is because i jsut got interested in the hobby boxes recently.  Can someone tell me how many different boxes (as in sets) there are of these, and also, what is a reasonable price i should pay for a box?

heres a few of the pics, more will probably end up on my store

Ok, so i finally finished my monster book of monsters, pics will be up momentarily as soon as I take them

hey, in case you havent seen this yet, heres a picture of what the inside of the quidditch program looks like (at least some of it)

Yea, so theres not a point to this post but to say i posted the 50,000 post on yak shack, that is all

Ummm.....so far i havent put much thought into props from GoF yet, mainly because a lot of my time has gone into setting up my store, and getting the rest of my props finished.  Once i get things going, and get settled (and see GoF a few more times ), ill come up with some ideas from that one too

Right now i kinda still sell some things on ebay, sorta, lol.  Basically, I sell the light up wands that noble sells along with my wizard map.  I call it that, b/c i cant figure out if Marauder's Map is copyrighted or not, so to be safe i call it a Wizards Map. (But its customizable, so people just tell me to call it the Maurauders map after they buy it).  I do it this way b/c then im not using WB trademarked names to sell my item.  In fact, my Wizard Map cant be associated with WB at all as there are no WB names on it.  I jsut sell a wand with it on Ebay as a way to get people to notice it still, because in truth, without being able to use the name harry potter, no one would ever come across the map.  Other things i know you cant do when listing items is use their copyrighted images (like using pictures from the movie in your listing, and technically your not sposed to use stock pictures that you copied from their site either so you dont have to take apicture of the item yourself)

Actually your the first person ive told that ive made that map.  The only people that have seen the map are the people at the GOF premiere i went to at midnight.  Otherwise no one else knows it exists.  Mainly because I dont want everyone copying my idea that way hopefully when i bust it out for future hp outings and especially book 7 release, itll be something no ones seen b4 and people will be in awe.  (That and if people knew i made an invisible map that appears with the wand, theyd want me to make me one of those for them instead of the ones I sell on my site, and the invisible one took me two straight weeks to make, so its not ideal to sell)

well, if your asking how many people have asked about my map since it was pulled, theres been a little more than 30.

just be careful not to break the wand.  and make sure that the light you use runs off of two AAA.

wanna hear something cool you could try doing after you finished your map. (This is what my map looks like).  I made a map completely blank, i put it together jsut like one would look like if it was writen on.  Then i went out to the store and bought one of those invisible writing pens, that has a blacklight in the other end usually, and hand drew my entire map on it while using a bigger blacklight to make sure i did it right.  So now i have a completely blank map to the normal eye, but when you put it under a black light. BAM. I solemnly swear i am up to no good and have a marauders map.  If you really wanted to make it cool, you could even do what i did and take the mini blacklight bulb out of the pen you bought and buy a light up wand from noble (The ones where you wave it and it goes on) and replace the bulb in that with the blacklight bulb.  (CAUTION: only try this if you feel completely comfortable with electronics and the wand.  otherwise i suggest disguising the blacklight pen as a wand).  This way i can take my marauders map out to screenigns and what not and when people as what im holding i can go "I solemnly swear i am up to no good" wave my wand at the Map so it lights up the blacklight which in turn makes the map visible.  Kinda cool huh.  You can try it you really want.  You can get blacklight pens for pretty cheap at your local radio shack usually.
