Why are you confused? I Order the POA Cases direct after i read the first infos. I have sell my hole Buffy Collection to buy the 3 Cases. The Potter run startet late, just a few weeks before release. After Everyone knows about the inserts. And the best is i payed only 435$ for each Case. My hole money..... Thats absolutely funny. My dealer offered me more cases because no one want to preorder them. Out of my 3 cases i pull a Hermione and Sirius auto. (For me only count the autograph cards because i collect only them) And now with the update Set no dealer have spare cases. My dealer is sold out since early august. I only can hope to trade the lot of spare prop, costume and auto cards for some update autograph cards. But i wish HagridsHut all the best to get one Hermione Card  |

Sorry - my fault I did not spot that it was you who had written the second post, with you using the same avatar I must have got mixed up. Yep, I pulled a Sirius from a box too - great feeling huh? That was actually a box with 3 insert cards in |

Opening the POA boxes were fun, but in my 3 Cases were 5 boxes without any insert cards except foils. But opening boxes is better than buy cards. The thrill and the fun is great

Did you find that your 5 "dud boxes" had box toppers? My 3 duds didn't have box toppers

I think there will be  trust me I was hit hard with dud boxes in the first set (3/5) but I still did ok as I hit a Sirius auto in one of the boxes (thank goodness). But if you look at all their insert ratios they are continually reminding us that the odds are averaged over the whole print run and nothing is guaranteed! |

I know. I love the sets that say 1 in every box gauranteed!! The set from "24" I bought said 0-3 in each box. I got one. Oh well, better than 0.

Some companies do a much better job than others with the inserts per box. Topps seems to be pretty consistent on the 1 per box. Any inkworks stuff I have opened was right on with the ratios also.
I think Artbox will get better and more consistent with each additional product. I think HP was one of the first ones they did with so many costume and auto cards. And probably one of there biggest production runs at that time.

I am one of the ones who got three items in my HP box. First, I caught on to this pretty late. You couldn't find boxes anymore, but I found a guy who didn't realize what he ahd and sold one to me for $50. I pulled Harry's robe and George Weasley's auto from one pack (yup, one pack) and a Dervish and Banges prop in another. I really hope they do not have many dud boxes this time around though.

I had 3 duds in 11 boxes and all of them had the proper # of foils and box toppers. The first four boxes that I opened had 1 of each box topper and one of them was a dud box. I wish Artbox would be able to guarantee 1 insert per box even if it was one of the more common ones.
