Deeceman's case is unique so far.

I've seen 25 case breaks, and 20 are in clusters of 2 or more (with no more than 1 card different); 2 differ only by 2 cards; and 3 are in their own universe.

got 4 boxes today! Here ya go:

#6035
BT2
5 Foils
C8 Gryffindor Students 457/588
P6 Slughorn's X-Mas Party Drapes 162/330

#5803
BT3

C4 Hagrid 251/480
P8 Records from Slughorns House 148/230

#5475

Overall? Very happy! The autos are new people we didn't already have, and the props and costumes were cool! The cards look nice and we look forward to getting a couple more boxes in San Diego! I have a small handful of extra base cards, if anyone fell a card or 2 short lemme know and I'll see if I have it.

thanks for the comments- I also liked the Ron costume card with the two color swatch, most of the others I've seen around are solid red so that was a nice little bonus. I feel like I want to do another case although the prudent thing might be to just buy the singles that I want. We'll have to see where the case prices go I guess.

Speaking of Snape (Note to Artbox): Would love to corral Mr. Rickman into a few autos. He's the one graph I'd want above ALL others who have yet to sign in any HP card series.

rickman is goofy about signing harry potter. every inperson ive heard recently, he just will NOT sign anything potter...sign all day long, ANY OTHER character he played, photos posters you name it...bring him anything harry potter..."sorry, i dont sign thoes". i wouldnt hold your breath on him.

It's sad really...I wonder if he just doesn't like the character or what...Snape is probably the deepest character in the books

I am really happy with the Bellatrix auto, the Lavender auto, and the P11 card as they were three cards I really wanted. Kind of bummed by the duplicate C1 card, though I am glad that was the only duplicate chase card, as well as not getting a Maggie Smith or Emma Watson auto as they are the last two autos I really need of the major characters that I have collected from Potter sets over the years.

I also got a lot fewer costumes than expected. I was expecting 12 costumes (1:box) which was the ratio I was used to, but I only got 10 costumes. However, with 4 props and 5 autographs, I can't complain.

I'm pretty happy that the only two cards that I really want to chase are the two Carrow cards, and possibly the Smith auto. I think I am going to try and get a Watson auto from previous sets, as I didn't really like the picture or design on this one, so everything worked out pretty well.

hi got 2 boxes of these the other day got prop p12 nose tea cup boxes that i wanted i allso got p2 advanced potion making book pages,c8 gryffindor students costume and c9 mcgonagall costume all for trade im after luna auto please.

Overall I did great on this product! Out of busting 4 cases:

Complete set of 3 Crystal Case Toppers

11 of 12 Prop Cards + Duplicates (including the sweet Burrow's SUPER THICK Variant)

All low numbered Costumes + Duplicates

Harry & Malfoy Duel Auto

Hermione Auto

Ron Auto

Lupin Auto

Bellatrix Auto

Luna Lovegood Auto x 3

Lavender Brown Auto x 3

Death Eaters Autos x Way too many to count!

If you didn't count the Death Eaters, do you have a memory on how many Dumbledores, McGonagalls, and Tonkses you found? We're trying to estimate the total numbers signed over here. And you did report on 11 of your 20.

Update: Well, if your cases fit the pattern for "clusters", I would guess that the answer to my question is that you pulled zero Dumbledores, McGonagalls, and Tonkses. That would be a good reason for not reporting one!

The Dual and Hermione cases seem to have a Lavender each and the Ron cases seem to have two Lunas, and I've only seen one case type with a Bellatrix and Lupin, plus one more Lavender and Luna.

I hereby predict that your numerous Death Eaters included 4 Amycus and 5 Alecto.

YOU ARE CORRECT! Are you a wizard?

I'm only a squib. I did pass my OWL in divination, though.

The other autos in the Dual, Ron, and Hermione cases have been the same. You might have variations on costumes or props because you pulled a P4, but your autos conform to Case Clusters A, D, G, and H. There have been 3-4 of each reported out of the 37 case-break reports, so you did very well by finding all of the Big Three from only 4 cases.
.

hiya Jeff-

does my case still stand up as a "unique" one or have you seen more like mine. Also, not sure if this is allowed or not but do you know of other sites where the reports on this product are coming in? I'd love to read more breaks than what we've seen here so far.

Dave

Still unique, "Cluster M." You definitely had the best auto selection of any case without one of the Big Three, with 3 Rares plus Luna and Tonks, and yours rivals or exceeds the others for value.

I don't think it's a problem to mention another (non-commercial) forum, The Yak Shack Forum. You won't find much more than Harry Potter sets unless/until you see a new LOTR set released. (They're mostly British and former Empire, after all.) Lots of the same fine people are on Card Talk, but you see more discussion of the HP universe, and more breakdowns and images for Potter cards.

Out of 4 boxes I pulled
2 Malfoy Boxtoppers
1 Snape Boxtopper
1 Bellatrix boxtopper

McGonagall Auto
Tonks Auto

Dumbledore film cell
Theatrical trailer film cell x 2
Rupert Grint costume
Dumbledore costume
Slughorn costume x2
Slughorn Xmas party prop
Gryffindor Skiving snackbox prop

All foils except #4

Okay, so I had saved up some to buy a Dexter case off e-bay, but was outbid at the last minute. The only other cases listed were too high, so I thought what the heck, I'll go for some Harry Potter. I was lucky to get a Michael C. Hall auto in my first of three boxes of Dexter previously, so I thought, maybe I'd have similar luck with a whole case of HP HBP. I opened the boxes in sequential order as follows:

I really like these cards the foil stamping on the front is a nice touch and the costume and prop cards are really nice. Definitely pleased with my pulls. While I wouldn't have been upset had I gotten one of the top three autos, I was hoping for the Luna and Tonks. The only other one I wanted and didn't get was Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix). Maybe I can find one on e-bay...
