So what happened to all the Harry and Ron costumes out of 100?  THere are none in the hotboxes, and they are near impossible to pull, its more like they are numbered out of 25.  Any insight on this.  Its ridiculous how hard they are to get when you can pull the permission slip out of a hot box and 3 out of 8 cases, yet you can't pull either of those cards

I am expecting three cases soon. Looking at the card prices I'm hoping for a few good cards.
It's great fun opening the packs. I'll post a case by case breakdown when they get to me.

Anyone ever thought of starting a rare-card registry to keep track of how many are still out?

And does anyone know the true number of triple auto cards ther are? I seen two different nubers quoted, 50 and 65. I wonder which one is right?

[Anna]

Good luck on your pulls YakHP!  And please do post your breakdowns.

If you mean "rare card" based on the print run of the card, then the price guide (link on toolbar near top of page) keeps track of the cards that appear on eBay.

I don't think there's a way to know how many unaccounted rare cards are still available.  There were many people who bought cards months ago and are now reselling them, plus some cards are or were available on dealer websites (these cards are not included in the price guide).

Yep - in most cases (Where the seller mentions it in the auction) we have logged the card numbers.

But I think for PoAU there's a lot of sealed product around - perhaps less so for PoA!!!

[LikORish-Spider]

Well, it's official. I am now broke.    (Until the middle of April).  
Ibit on a case of PoA-NOT-UPdate.
What should I do?  
I wonder if I should open part of the boxes or keep the case for a couple of years?

A third option would be to share your winnings with others (hint, hint).

Congratulations on your win!  Let us know what you pull, that is if you decide to open them.

[kbmum]

I think you should open at least some of the boxes.  The only reason to keep some sealed boxes would be to sell them later, and by then, interest and prices could tank.  It's better to open them now and sell off your extras while prices are still good.

My one box haul:

George Weasley costume 1041/1300 (to be expected )
Fred Weasley autograph

Now I need to get Ron, Percy and Ginny autos to complete the Weasley set

[Nienna]

Nice pulls FTY, CONGRATS!!

Bet you're going to struggle to keep to your self-imposed eBay ban after getting a box like that!

[ferdinand_the_yak]

Well... if it was a Hermione auto and matching pink top combination, it would be non-existent

[Nienna]

Ahhhh well that would be understandable of course!

Like pulling a Leggy auto from a FOTR box hmmmm ...

[ferdinand_the_yak]

Mmmm... Leggy autograph card... *drools*

Knowing my luck... I'd pull naught but a base set and a foil or two:'(

[kbmum]

Those are good pulls!  They certainly made for a fun box.

[EmmasOneandOnly]

Yeah you have a pick sweater seven to be correct. I'm so JEALOUS and 15 hermi robes  

[Morningangel-Iola]

I've spied an orginal box on ebay and I'm not sure if I should bid on it or not


Eek I did it

Just an update on this. I still have not opened the POA case. And I found a sealed case of Sorcerer's Stone, 2 of POAU, 2 of GOFU and 2 cases of LOTR Masterpieces II that I had misplaced.
My wife made be sort out the mess in the basement.
Oh well.

This is funny!  Only you could misplace so many cases! . Are you going to open any of them?

I may open them once the last Artbox set is issued. Can we say "Deathly Hallows II UPDATE", "Memorable Moments Series 3", "World of Harry Potter, 3rd Edition" and/or "Movie Posters II"
Time will tell.
