Couldn't pass up these variants the main thing was to find a complete stripe



There were two more colors light purple and light blue,which I missed out on.

Thank's bitsy on the DA Parchment - I kept thinking it was DOK as well.

well guess I'll start thing off:

Just won on ebay

I thought he said that after the 3D set...

I had emailed him last night regarding the Master set Price and commented on early postings of the individual cards. His response was that he would not ship cases prior to the release date in the future as a result. Which I don't blame him.

So its bad news for those sellers that purchase cards from him.    So don't expect early arrivals for the update set.

I wouldn't expect Artbox to do anything about it. They don't seem have a problem with distributors who sell cases on ebay direct to consumers at wholesale prices, so why would they bother with a seller who releases the product early?

No artbox won't do anything but Tom Breyer said because of the early posting he will no longer ship cases in advance of the release date. At least that was his response to the early postings.

I just got a phone confirmation that OOTP would be arriving Tuesday Afternoon. However, I'm sure that the set won't officially be released until after July 11th which is the official release date for the movie in the US. T. breyer did email me and said He would need payment for any cases before tomorrow, otherwise Buyers would have to wait until he came back from vacation to recieve their shipments. And I agree this release and the 3d set were to close together. They should have pushed back the 3d release.

Beautiful swatch for the M. Map above definitely envious of that one  , I got an actual scan of my incentive set  which you can see on  my original post above. the Dragon Selection sac is better than what was pictured in the auction but the daily prophet no so great. Still waiting on six boxes I bought, Don't know why I bought them I never have any luck getting good pulls like the one above :'(

I was going for the Dragon Selection Sac but I think the photo the seller posted is not the actual cards. Tom Breyer has an exact photo on one of his auctions that was BINed - so I don't think i really got the actual cards that are in the photo. I'm waiting for a response from the seller.

Although i did miss a C1 variant with the red and gold stripe by 1 minute.  )Someone beat me to it. I think it was the same bidder that bought the incentive set pictured being sold by t. breyer.

I also binned this one earlier



I not aware of any Ci1 variants so I would guess no on the Sirius Card

Edith you might want to check with Kelly if you will get the cards pictured in the auction . I saw the set and thought it was a fantastic set of incentives when Tom listed it here.

thanks for letting me know about the posting by Tom. I emailed the seller of my auction waiting for reply.

Just got these on ebay

nice variant of the Dragon Selection Sac

well in the email with Tom B. I was making arrangements to pay for a WHP  Master Set. And told him I wanted to go ahead and pay for my OOTP cases. He told me to wait on the OOTP cases payment and he would let me know when to pay for them. So I am sure the ship date and release date are mid to late July or maybe he is expecting the date to get pushed back again. Which really is disappointing because SDCC is at the end of July. I'm sure alot of us remember the fiasco with the MM Trophy card prices. A little concerning if they decide to make a similar limited # card again and release it as SDCC along with the other special items.

Well I don't recognise any of the violator's Ebay IDs so it could be a case of ignorance and they just assumed if they received it they could post it. But I won't make excuses for them.

So for those of you that already have yours in hand any insight on my favorite topic - the variants.

I thought I would post this to ask for help finding some cards that have still evaded me. For those of you that are dealers and go to alot of card shows this could be your chance to make some extra cash. Below is a list of the variant cards that I either have not found or missed them on ebay.

If anyone comes across any of these variant cards this is what I will pay for them. Or any other variant for that matter even if its not on the list - send me a PM with a scan or link and I'll make you an offer.

Tom Breyer told me in an email last night that the release date was pushed back to july. he didn't specify wether it was towards the begining or the end of the month.

Tom Breyer was the distributor for those sellers that posted their cards early. He said that no cards,no scans, or presells of the insert cards were to be posted until the 15th. Because this was violated by a select few he will not do early shipping in the future. (Although - the way he said it was that those that made the violation would not get early shippments for future releases should they place orders with him).

For those that have purchased at least a case and opened them already - I know there is another thread for this but its locked. Could you give some insight on the costume, auto, and prop numbers in your case. And if you purchased more than one - did it seem to have a pattern with the inserts like the GOF cases?

here is a link to what the Daniel auto redemption looks like. And according to Tom Breyer - there are not suppose to be any postings of the cards from the set till the 15th. hes not happy with the early postings.

Well I just had to relieve Mo of this pathetic excuse of a variant card........




Also purchased this nice dirty variant along with a case of cards (the case pulls were terrible)

Another card I had been looking for (over a year) finally won on ebay today:



Also won the Ron Redemption for excellent price  the victor c5 card was for a not so excellent price 




NOW if I could only convince terryweasley to sell me her beaubatons error card
 

Got these in today which were won on ebay

Couldn't resist this bertie bot bean variant of the wizard candy:



And finally after over a year of looking; I got my book with some type of print on it

Did Jim mention whether they were for an official set or was it all rather *hush hush*? (I assume the latter)

I didn't realise that the artist was the one auctioning the cards till I got the email address to send the paypal payment to. I just sent him an email asking if he could tell me anything on artbox using sketchcards  - so if he divulges any thing I will be sure to post it.
