allenderHarry Potter Memorable Moments Series 2 (Artbox-2009)
Boxes are 24 packs of 8 cards; 10 boxes per case. Expect 2.52 base sets of 72 if collation were perfect. Nice set, better presented than Memorable Moments I. My main gripe: YET AGAIN Artbox managed to arrange base-card collation so that I'm sitting here with 12 sets that are missing exactly the same single card.

I was very happy to find a double costume from 2 of my favorite characters, and a double auto. I noticed so far, nobody has pulled either of these. Jeff, I had two base sets, and 39 extras, I feel like sending you my extra #52.
Just a thought - maybe in the next Artbox staff meeting, maybe someone could suggest " How about if we put numbers on the back of the card that people can read? Or should we continue with the font that has 2's, 3's and 5's that look alike?"
Still, a very attractive set, and the best box I'd ever bought of Artbox cards.

allenderA little bit has to do with the numbers of items. You did worse than the average, but there's probably going to be at least one duped item in most cases.
There were 600 cases, and both the Petunia costume and the Grubblyplank autos were numbered/signed at more than 700 each. Cases with two Grubblyplanks or Karkaroff's Aide are fairly common, and I've only seen two case reports (out of 11) where there weren't any costume dupes, and those two cases were the "same". One other case had doubles for two different costumes, and it had only 4 autos.
Still, yours takes the case (so to speak). Perhaps it was one of the last ones packed and there were leftovers. Ginny and Ron were # to only 300, so that duplication (not to mention the triple Petunia) is very odd.
For Memorable Moments 1, my case had duplicates for one auto and two different costumes. Almost every case break had a dupe on one of the autos. The two MM sets had the fewest different costumes (of any series that seeded 8 or more per case). C16 of OOTP was # to 760, but I didn't see any doubles for it. So they've definitely done better.
What other costumes/props/auto did you get?
