And this is why the picture does it no justice. If you look at mine:  At the top of the variant part, you can see a small portion of the regular pattarn. If I wanted to (and I never would) I could put my fingernail behind the patch part. It is indeed a different material that was stiched on to the robe. And, there are not many of these. It is not like the variants we saw with the Quidditch costume from the first set that was more like an iron on for their name on the back of the robe. First, it was an iron on, and second, although still rare and hard to find, I would think you would find more like that than ones like this with the patch. It pretty thick too. And think about it, this one actually has a piece of the Badger on it!!!! If you are willing to spend that kind of money on it, I definitely think it is worth it. But you have to ask yourself how much you want a variant in your collection? I am sure we will eventually see some on the oplain quidditch costumes and on Harry's swatch on the dual, but do you risk waiting? And since Cedrics single costume and this dual were probably taken from the same costume, it looks like you would only be able to get a piece of the patch from the dual, since it seems that is where they put them. So to answer your question, NO it is not drawn on or even ironed on (the look of the other variants from the first set). it is literally a patch that was stitched on (or possibly one of those iron on patches). Good luck if you go for it. Sorry it took so long for me to respond. |

Thanks for your nice explanation, Sara. And it wasn´t long, you answered very quick. It´s not really out of my mind, but it´s very high now. There seems to be not much space for me. No, i can´t believe to have a chance. And this might be very good. I love variants, but wow, i have also other ideas what to do with the money. Hmmmm. Let´s see what happens. |

Hmmm. " I don´t know". I´m not sure. I´m only sure that there is not much space left. Or maybe nothing?  Hmmm. I should think about it for a while. I will decide tomorrow. |

See, I am the wrong one to ask that question too. Personally, I would not spend that kind of money on any card, which is why i don't own any of the big autos. And if the one I own was this high, I myself would not own it today. The most I spent was $80 on a Marauders Map two weeks ago that i still did not get yet. And I was a wreck about spending that much money!!!! Now I am a wreck that it hasn't arrived yet  However, if you don't mind spending that much money, or you just really want the card, I do think it is worth it. Especially if you have the money to spend. Me, I would rather take the money and use it towards 4 or 6 other cards I wanted (it doesn't seem like you are spending so much if you buy more items, yet in the end, I probably spent more than I can imagine and could probably own one of those big autos by now. Actually, I know I could). So, Tower, this is completely up to you. I can tell you that I absolutely love mine, but that is just my own personal opinion. |

Yeah - and do you think this is so high because it has parts of the badger,?or because the dual is a cool card to start with?
After all the latest fizzing whizzbies variant (there have been 2 that I have noticed on ebay so far - one with the face on and one with lettering (which has been auctioned twice) went for around $150.
Do you think it's just timing? A nicer card?
Any ideas?

And if the one I own was this high, I myself would not own it today. You don´t need to own it longer. Just tell me your price. Very funny. Thanks for the good laugh!! |

Well, that is one way to avoid spending the money The auction ends tomorrow. Just keep telling yourself that. Really though, I do love the card and would never part with it. And now that I own it, I would probably have paid more for it at the time if I had known how nice it was in person. Roz- I do think it is higher because it is part of the badger. I would think mine would still go pretty high, but I would imagine maybe half what this one would go for. Regardless, it is neat to own a piece of the patch. Can you imagine what a piece of the Gryffindor patch would go for? |

Very true I am sure your card would dovery well.... better than half The FW card that went VERY high was with the face from the top of the card on and was beautiful... I think it was worth it |

What do you think about comparing the cards with this price-level?
The Double Costume Variant
The Whomping Willow
The Ron Auto
The Chocolate Frog
What is responsible for the price? Which card is much worth it´s price?

I don´t know. The crazy thing is that i wouldn´t have placed a bid of $200 in November. And now? My problem is: I hate to do such crazy things. And $300 is crazy, isn´t it?
