Theories of possible future chase cards?

If he uses them, we should ask for a complimemtary prop card, what do you think?

I think its cool that my earlier suggestions of the Marauder's Map (please, please, please let this be in one of my boxes) and the Monster book of Monsters is in the update set

If he uses them, we should ask for a complimemtary prop card, what do you think?  

Well I think its only Proper thing to do  

It'll be interesting to see though how much information they will end up taking, I guess we will just sit here patiently with our fingers crossed.
Ahhh the power of message boards!!!

[ferdinand_the_yak]

LOL, fingers crossed it is then!

I would love to see most of the *ahem* sensible ideas that have been suggested used.

Toenails, socks and skin indeed

i think  what couldbe the most sort after costume card would be the original dumbledores costume. It would make a great card and because they 2 differant dumbledore have 2 differant styles you could have dual costume cards

[Crystyles]

Toenails, socks and skin indeed  

Lol, maybe we should be careful for what we wish for!!!! ewwwww, I couldn't even imagine.

Yea we have 96 members, so a prop card with a run of 100 (I am sure we will have 4 more by the time the update set comes out) would do nicely  

Ha we should be so lucky!

Although if we are lucky we might get a collectable bit of paper saying:

"gee - thanks... so long suckers"

(or have I been watching too much Simpsons?)

From Artbox:

Send it over and let's see what I can do. Thanks!

So Far So Good

Thanks Crystals,

Well after a looong day at Memorabilia yesterday (where I saw some beautiful Lik-O-Rish spiders cards etc etc) And a loong evening at a friend's housewarming last night, I needed a rest this afternoon

So I watched The Philosophers Stone, and I thought about a few ideas whilst watching. I wonder if there's any likelyhood that half of the product (since Cards Inc seem to buy half) could be printed as "Philosophers Stone" and the other half "Sorcerers Stone). What do you guys think? Or perhaps Cards Inc could do a foil stamped Philosophers Stone reprint of the base set!

Anyway what do you reckon to this?

PROPS

1) The actual invitation letter inviting Harry to Hogwarts

2) A Gringotts coin

3) Olivanders Wand Box

4) Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans Box

5) Daily Prophet- Gringotts break in report (rather like the prophet card from the Azkaban set - almost to match).

6) Slytherin Flag from the great hall decoration when the house cup is about to be announced

7) Gryffindor Flag from the great hall decoration once the house cup has been announced

CLOTHING CARDS

1) The hat worn by Dumbledore when he drops Harry off as a baby on the Dursley's doorstep - it's very rich in colour - but actually he has some really great hats in this movie so any would do!

2) Quirrel's Turban

3) Chudley Cannons Robe (shown in the window of a Diagon Alley Shop)

4) Voldermort's cloak in the flashback scene when Hagrid tells Harry the story of his parents (just before entering Diagon Alley)

5) A tie set - this could be 2 dual clothing cards or 4 cards with a swatch of the 4 ties worn by students in each house - eg. Gryffindor is red and gold and Slytherin is silver and green.

It is great to do this for the early sets because it looks like Harry et al are going to be wearing school uniform less in these movies from now on.

6) McGonagal's Green cloak

7) A swatch of the solid invisibility cloak

8 ) Neville's teddy pajamas from the scene where he tries to stop our heroic trio from leaving the common room at night! When Hermione casts petrificus totalis on him - this would be more of a comedy card but would be quite funny and it is a turning point and a sign of what is to come from Neville - he has plenty of heroism in him yet!

9) Harry's red jumper/sweater - worn in the confrontation with Quirrel/Voldemort by the mirror of Erised

10) (and this could go in any set) Quidditch robes from all 4 houses

AUTOGRAPHS

1) Harry Potter

2) Oliver Wood (after this film Wood doesn't have much screen time sadly - Azkaban was his finest hour in the books

3) Professor Flitwick

4) Firenze (probably just a voice actor - maybe it would be better to wait until the Order of the Phoenix where he does have a bigger part)

5) Professor McGonagal

What do you all reckon? Got any to add?

Gosh - have we missed out Emma Thompson as Sybill Trelawney!

A must for the update set - or for the Order of the Phoenix film set!

[kbmum]

In general, how far in advance of a release do card manufacturers usually  make public a list of chase cards?  I check the Artbox site every day, but they haven't posted the auto list that dealers received a few weeks ago.

[ferdinand_the_yak]

I don't know about Artbox... but I am sure it will come out when its too late for us to cancel our pre-sell orders. Knowing my luck Hopefully this will be as fantastic a set as the last!

For the LOTR collectors... pity the poor souls who put down big dollars for pre-sell LOTR trilogy boxes! And they can't get their money back either! :'(

[frd]

Okay, with the next set, whatever ArtBox may decide, there could be a "Paw-tograph" of the animals & creatures that have been in these movies. I know, I know...alot of these were CGI, but think of the possibilities: owls, rats, snakes (okay, okay, so snakes don't have paws). The cards could have a foil-stamped paw-tograph made to size to fit on the cards. So that big creatures could also have their card featured. Insert them at a rate of one in every two or three boxes, and a total of any number divisible by nine to fit into the 9-card pages we store our cards in!

[garage]

Do you think the HP series is going to end up going like the LOTR trilogy set and get very stale? I think there is plenty of options for prop and costume cards but after a couple of sets I think the quality of the autos will drop off - particulalry if there is no duplication.

[frd]

I should hope not. This first set by ArtBox was awesome. The levels of inserts were both attainable (retail & hobby foils & some of the Autos, Props and costumes) which made it liked by most who bought boxes. And more by those who could afford to buy cases & got some of the higher levels of props, costumes & Autos. The idea is to keep the lowly folk (us) happy, and dreaming for the stars.

Topps had 7 series (8 if you count Wave 2 ROTK) to do - and up until ROTK was fine - great signers, only a few duplicates (TT Legolas and Merry were necessary for those who could not afford the FOTR versions ). I don't collect costumes, so I can't comment on that.

After ROTK, everything went downhill...

Artbox has only done 1 series so far, so I don't see a slide any time yet (or maybe I just hope not!!!) BUt I can see where you are going with your comment - it will be hard fro them to keep topping each set... PoA was brilliant! I don't think they should do any more update sets, they will run out of material to use. I personally do not mind another Hermione for eg. but not too many - erm... 5 Viggo/Aragorns, anyone???

[frd]

     Just curious if anyone has mentioned in the forum that this is ArtBoxs' first attempt at "normal" trading cards? Prior to this set they had multiple sets of "ActionFlipz" which are 2 1/2 in by 2 1/2 in lenticular cards. Followed by their nice "FilmCardz" which went full size, but with a cell in the center of the cards. I have several sets from both formats that they started with, and like them very much.
     Hopefully, like Ferdinand says, they continue with their brilliancy of the first set. Still hoping I win a lottery soon so I can get one of those Pear Leaves Cards   :'(

[Roz]

It is isn't it?

But they had some great guys on board! Including a FOTR veteran!
