Harry Potter Heroes and Villains Set

With the amount of 54 base sets you can make from each box, they could have taken some of those out and included more of the clear cards, imo.

Maybe, but the clear cards seem to be a separate chase set.  Is the general consensus that each box contains one box topper, 5 foils, and 12 clear cards?

[rns91294]

Without actually counting my cards, I would say that is about right. However, unless I am counting wrong, it looks like I got 47 clear cards from my 4 boxes, which is 11.75 per box....and only 14 foils cards in the 5 boxes, which is 3.5 per box. I am hearing from others that there were 4 of the foils per box, not five. So, it looks like I was 1 clear card short and 2 foils short of what I should really have.

In my 3 boxes, I had 12 clear cards each.  I had only 4 foils in each box.

Been looking at the breaks for this set. John (LikORish-Spider) had an interesting 9 box break. 5 props and only 4 autos....9 costumes. Seems to me that the unopened box may only have a costume card in it, as he didn't seem to open a box with just the one inserts, which they all appear to have. But what luck to get 5 props instead of the 4!

I am also noticing that the box containing an ultra rare auto seems to also contain a low numbered costume. The single insert box usually has a high numbered costume. I never understood why that single insert box could hot have a nice lower numbered card in it.

Also, I am noticing that in a case, it seems that not many full sets of the clear cards are coming out of them, making them much more rare than I expected.

Any other thoughts?

Also the clear cards seem to actually be two different sets. One set of nine black and red drawings and one set of nine blue monochromatic movie posters.

Good observation, and I think I have to absolutely agree with you on this one!

Can anyone post scans of the complete sets of both clear cards?  How are they numbered?

[rns91294]

I don't have scans, but they are numbers 55 through 72.

I love the clear cards! I wish they would do more of those. They are really cool. 

[rns91294]

My husband put a clear card and 2 foils (all of Ron) aside to give to my niece....which is why my count was wrong. We did get 4 foils and 12 clear cards per box. lol.

Thanks!   It's strange that Artbox numbered these cards to fall in line with a 72-card base set.  I've seen other card companies do the same thing, though.

[rns91294]

Yeah, I wish they weren't numbered to fall in line with a 72 card base set.

Still waiting for two cases from Tom. Are there many others here in the UK still stalking a postman?

[Bagshott]

My case arrived on the 16th, not from Tom. If sent on the 12th must be a record for speed for USPS.
Delivery times seem totally random, it's a crazy world. Cards are great, well worth getting.
Hope your cases arrive soon and you get some good pulls!

I have a redemption question: Can I fill them all out and mail them all together? Do you use Delivery confirmation on yours?? Thanks

[Bagshott]

Yes and yes. I store up to about 10 to send together and send them Airsure.

I have a redemption question: Can I fill them all out and mail them all together? Do you use Delivery confirmation on yours?? Thanks

You can send all of the redemptions together, but depending on the value of the cards, I'd ship them Priority with delivery confirmation instead of First Class.  Artbox generally ships cards back via First Class, so if you want Priority with DC, you can get a prepaid envelope from your post office and send that with your cards.  You should also send them with sleeves and top loaders, as the people at Artbox will not put the autos in any protective case unless you provide it.

[Bagshott]

At least they'll have cards to put in goodie bags at the SDCC!

[rns91294]

I am sure some of these will be in the goodie bags...but I bet they hold most for replacements right now since the set is new. I bet you they provide some of them to certain people as well. I remember when Mike Simon worked there, and I met him at a card show, he mentioned to us that the actors get sets too. I don't know if they provide auto cards, costumes or props, but I think they might give them out to others that don't have to buy a case or box at all.

Does anyone know if Artbox has the Emma Watson autographs in yet? It's the only one of the autographs I haven't seen redeemed yet. I sent the redemption in to Artbox about 2 weeks ago and I was just wondering how long of a wait I might have coming.
