Gryffindor Forever -- Thanks for being the first to post your case breakdown!  I have a couple of questions for you.  Did you receive only four autos instead of five?  Did you receive two Aunt Petunia costumes?  I ask the second question because both of those cards from different boxes have the same number.

Also, I sent an e-mail to Tom and found out that most of the autos are in.   It appears that only two of them are still out, one of them being the Harry/Sirius auto.

Hi Roz, Yes i only received 4 autos and i made a mistake box 4403 c-5  648/700 i already corrected it thank you for noticing. i got 2 c-5s and 2 c-4s  I thought i was suppose to get 5 autos? Karen

Hey Karen. Although Artbox states that there will be 5 autos in a case, those odds are just something to go by and not a guarantee. Some people have received boxes in the past that didn't have any inserts in them at all.  Did you double check though to make sure an auto was not stuck to another card?

I'm Cindy.

The case should have five autos.  You can contact Artbox about it, but they probably will not send you another auto.  Sara is right that you should check all of your base cards.  It's easy for one card to get stuck to the back of another and has been reported here more than once.

A Ci2 5-case incentive error card has popped up.  It has the correct front and swatches, but the back states the card is a Ci1 sleeping bag/hospital wing sheets.  It is also numbered as if it were a Ci2.

But this is a true error card since they aren't all like that. I know baseball error codes were worth more money because they weren't common. The others ones we have seen for this set are errors, but on every single card.

[kbmum]

As far as we know, this is a one-off mistake.  It would be more of an error if the card had a Ci1 front and back, but with Harry/Voldemort swatches.

Putting the sleeping bag material in a Hermione costume card is a BIG mistake, as is putting a picture of Aunt Marge on an Aunt Petunia swatch.  There really isn't an excuse for these errors.  It's caused by not paying attention to the details and not having enough oversight at the production facility.

Lovely cards Sara   

I am pleased to see some nice colourful cards in this set.  I do like the backgrounds on the MM cards but they can be a bit 'wishy washy'.  Props and costumes have always been my favourites so this set is right up my street.

It seems like an age since we had a new set.  With the HBP coming I can see EBay profits going through the roof 

Just waiting now for UPS to come-a-knocking with mine

Sharon, those are Jackie's cards. I got two boxes and plan to open them tonight or tomorrow. I agree they can be a bit wishy washy, but I too like them. Props are also my favorite and this one has a lot of them. Although a lot are dup materials, I actually still don't have some of them, so I am happy about that. Can't wait to hear what you pull!

I completely agree with you. There is no excuse for these HUGE mistakes.

Ooops    I put this down to the excitement of a new set 

Jackie lovely cards 

I can't wait to see what you pull Sara - lots of props hopefully

Yeah I had that happen to me once when opening OOTP where the auto redemption was stuck to a base card.  I never would've known except that I was separating and organizing base sets.  Possibly easy to miss with new cards.

[sfmuggle]

I agree - very nice cards    makes me wish I bought some  but I'll look into the ones I want on eBay.  It's also good to know that most of the autos are in sans the Radcliffe/Oldman and a few others?

For those of you who got cases, how do the case cards look? I have seen them on  , but am curious to know if they look any good in person.

Hi Guys!

I pulled the Harry/Sirius Auto redemption from my case, and was wondering if anyone could advise me as to the safest way to send the redemption to Artbox in order to insure it's return.

I have sent many redemptions to Artbox in the past and have never experienced any problems, but because I have never had a card of this value, I would like to know how to handle sending in this one.

For instance, I can place tracking and or insurance on the card to make sure it gets there, but how can I get Artbox to return the card
tracked/insured the same way?

I sent an Email to the customer service dept, but have not received a reply.

Thank you,

First of all, congrats on your first Harry auto pull! I remember that feeling I had with my first. You are very lucky to have Gary Oldman's auto as well...one I don't have.

As for the redemption, this one can be tricky. The last Harry auto I pulled was also a redemption. I paid for it to be insured and got delivery confirmation on it. In order to have it returned the same way, I had to put a self addressed envelope with it, with enough stamps to cover the cost of insurance and delivery confirmation...and then ask Artbox to make sure their mail carrier scans the insurance sticker for the return delivery. I don't know if you read the books, but do you remember where Ron's parents send a letter to the Dursley's via "Muggle mail"? The envelope was covered in stamps hoping they paid enough for postage. Well, I felt like I was mailing that same exact letter. The amount of stamps on that thing was ridiculous, and that was even after going to the post office to buy the highest domination stamps they carried. It was not easy, but worth it.

Congrats again!

Also, I read allender's post about all those sets missing the same card. I can not believe this happened again. It happened with the last release as well. I had a ton of duplicates of the same couple cards and was always missing one certain number.

Here's my scans. I'm only one variant color away from a complete Uncle Vernon wardrobe. 

I don't know how long I can last buying a single case per release, and never pulling a single "big three" autograph! At least I've completed my set of single Ruperts and an OOTP Daniel from the aftermarket. No double autographs this time either, and I guess I'm in the "other two Rares" cluster. If Tower got a case, he'll probably join me, but I don't want to cast a jinx spell!

First scan is autos (Robert Jarvis as Young James Potter, Tolga Safer as Karkaroff's Aide, Verne Troyer as Griphook the Goblin, Richard Leaf as Auror Dawlish, and redemption for April Brook as Professor Grubbly-Plank) and Props (P1 Hedwig's Perch, P10 Dolores Umbridge's Progress Reports and Stationery, and P12 First Task Tent and Canopy Material.

Second scan is costumes (C1 Ginny's robe, C3 Ron's jacket, C4+C4 two parts of Vernon's sweater, C7 Harry's Quidditch robe + Oliver's sweater, C8 Hermione's sweater and Harry's shirt, C10 Fleur's vest and gown, and C11 Ron's and Ginny's robes. Nobody's scan seems to be doing justice to the Fleur swatches; they are a very light green. Ginny's robe is padded, Ron's jacket is thick, and Oliver's sweater is pretty bulky too.

[rns91294]

Well, if you are going to pull two Vernon's, at least they were two different colors. Question for you...is the Fluer costume worn by or material used to create?

My C7 needs to go back to Artbox for a replacement. The two bottom corners are dinged pretty good and it has surface scratches. I hate having to send something back to them, but I have a redemption to send in as well.
