Another one? Nah ... I'm not greedy, I've bought one and I'm happy to leave it at that.  We end up paying a small fortune here on shipping stuff from the States and I suspect some sellers make a fair bit of profit on what they charge for these international transactions. Many get away with it because most of us here aren't familiar with how much we should be paying ... there's UK sellers who are just as bad with overcharging and you'll find that's the case no matter where you are. I love the Global Priority mailers you have .... I know what to expect if my item has been sent in one of those and exactly how much it costs with no last-minute surprises ... brilliant! Besides, I want to get hold of a Ginny Weasley auto card and they're proving tricky to find and win on auction at the moment.  |

Please if anyone needs ANY BASE CARDS AT ALL - just let me know and they'll be on their way....
It's kind of sad that there are so many update base sets, we're having a hard time giving them away.  I gave my daughter her first base set yesterday, and we had a blast putting them in an album. When we were done, she looked up at me with the sweetest face and asked, "Are there any Sorcerer's Stone cards?" When I told her that they were coming out at the end of April, she got so excited you'd think Christmas was around the corner. Just what we need -- two collectors in the house!  |

So has anyone said exactly how dealers got these cards? The say they got them for every 10 sets they bought, but 10 sets of what?

The last two auctions (yet another seller) have 2 available each. So that's 10 left (for now anyways). |

Oops, I missed that. I'd love to know the story behind the card -- why there were no redemptions.

This stinks in my opinion. The collectors are the ones that should be getting these cards from artbox to try and make up for all the dud boxes out there. They should have sent this card radomly out with the other redemptions, or if you send in a redemption card of all three from the update, you were awarded the fourth card. Instead the dealers are getting a card that they are getting $50 out of, and should be worth much less. We don't have any info as to how many this guy signed, he could have sent back 500 to artbox and they are going to be flooded shortly, we don't know. Everyone spending $50 might kick themselves in a week, when they really get flooded and you can get them for $15. Is Peter Best anyone of importance? (forgive my ignorance if he is some acclaimed British stage actor or something else that I have no idea about) I just wish artbox realized what they are doing to the collectors.

Right now Zach I'd appreciate them to get me a Pam Ferris auto for the redemption I sent in - neverlo a Peter Best one too  P.S. - They will never be that good to us |

The more i think about it the madder i am getting . Why is it that dealers are getting this card they have receive rewards for buying so many cases of cards already . Yet here is artbox rewarding them for it again. And who misses out the sellers I wish the head of artbox took the sellers into account and not just the dealers |

We all know that the big dealers lost much money with this Update set. Maybe it's just a way from Artbox to say sorry, to give the dealers a chance to get some money back.  It's absolutely unusual to produce a single card much more later. It wasn't the plan from the beginning, i am sure. I really think so, Artbox says sorry to the big dealers, this card is a gift. Because they need the dealers for the next sets. What do you think? Is it nonsense? |

Actually, it does make sense. If Artbox knew the signed cards would eventually come back, they would have used redemption cards.
