You Are a Winner! Cards
HP4 Update Hobby Box
(this card was in the same box as one of the Emma Watson autos and the CFC18 film card - best Potter box I ever opened)


Puzzle Base Cards: 12 complete sets, 12 extras
Clear Base Cards: 12 complete sets, 13 extras
Foil Chase Set: 3 Complete sets, 23 extras
Box Toppers: 1 complete set, 5 extras (one box was missing the topper)


The doubles on all the autos was a little annoying... well, except for the Watson

Observations: I think I did less well on the autographs than Miss Lizzy. (Of course, that might have been her best Potter box, but I kind of liked that Pop Century box. ;-)

It should really be unnecessary, with 20 autograph cards and 10 per case, to have three duplicates. I couldn't get a complete set of the four box-toppers. But otherwise, I got the advertised number of inserts (including an autograph in the Prize-card box). Base card collation wasn't great per box, but I ended up with 23 complete sets, which isn't terrible. I had at least one complete set per box. People who open boxes for store sales should shuffle the packs, because (except for the last box that had the Prize card), the inserts were in exactly the same packs according to their position in the box.

Boxes hold 24 packs of 8 cards. 10 boxes per case, 4000 numbered boxes. Expect 2.97 base sets of 54 if collation were perfect. Expect 1.33 sets each of base puzzle cards and base clear cards.

Wow, two Hermione autos in one case. Sounds pretty nice to me. I am, however, shocked to see all the duplicate autos in these cases and to find one unsigned! At least the Emma's and the nice winner card can make up for that.

My two boxes:

Box 1773
BT3
CFC8 with cells of Voldemort
PA5 - Rusty Goffe / Gringotts Goblin

Box 2317
BT4
Michael Gambon as Dumbledore

From two boxes I managed to get a full puzzle set, full clear card set and am missing 2 cards to make a full foil set.

I received my three boxes from a multi case break that Ed at SciFi did on NSCF today...along with something extra

Case Topper (death eater)


The boxes weren't too shabby either.

Box 1
BT-4
Film Cel 14 (Malfoy 075/214)
Auto: Michael Gambon as Albus Dumbledore

Box 2
BT-4
Film Cel 10 (Troll 116/213 with film cels including Harry, Ron and Hermonie)
Auto: Warwick Davis as Griphook

Box 3
BT-3 (yay! not another 4!)

Auto: Emma Watson as Hermione Granger!!!!

Needless to say...I am one happy camper!

I'm happy with the autos I pulled. Not real crazy
about how the foil cards ended up...

Greg

Because I am only collecting one or two autos of each character that signed I did not invest a lot in this release. Getting my single box tomorrow. It was very tough tracking down the 9 card puzzle set and the case incentive autographs especially the 25 case incentive, not a single one listed right now outside of a master set. It will go down as one of the harder autos to get from HP releases since this was a shorter print release of only 400 cases / 4000 boxes.

Hi,

Firstly, overall I was happy with our case. We didn't pull any Puzzle Autographs. Got 10 'normal' autographs, 1 you are a winner card and 6 film frames. Also we only managed 1 Box Topper set. Have multiple BT2 and BT3, only 1 BT1 and BT3 x2

Here's the breakdown of the best cards in our case.

Bonnie Wright Auto x3

Emma Watson Auto x2

Arben Bajraktaraj Auto x1
Chris Rankin Auto x2
Warwick Davis Auto x2
CFC4 Film Frame x2
CFC3 Film Frame x1
CFC7 Film Frame x1
CFC14 Film Frame x1
CFC16 Film Frame x1
You are a Winner! card - HP Costume Card Set (Not sure what set this is, but if it's a few cards we are happy )

Pretty much got the same Base sets, Base Puzzle and Base Clear sets as everyone else. I think we managed 3 sets of Rare foils, but I would need to check. I have a few spares of those for trade.

Cheers, Pete.

My sister's cases arrived today (plus 1 box). Only opened 1 case plus the box today. Second case tomorrow.

Not too bad at all compared to some that's been posted. The proof will be how good the second case will be

Three boxes for me yielded 3 puzzle autographs and two film cel cards, so that matches perfectly the previous breakdowns.

I made 5 base sets of 54 cards with another set missing only 2 cards. I have a stack of doubles beyond that enough to make 3 more sets were collation perfect, but nearly 6 sets out of 9 possible is not too shabby.

I made 4 of the clear card sets, 3 or the bonus puzzle sets, and one of the Rare foil sets, with just a few extras of the bonus puzzle and rare foil singles, and no lefteover clear cards, so collation was really excellent on those.

I got box toppers 1,2, and 3. Those cards are very nice and limited to only 1,000 of each, (since there were 4 in all, and only 4,000 boxes total).

Hopefully this and and the upcoming Deathly Hallows costume/prop editon won't be the end for Artbox in terms of Harry Potter. I'd love to see at least one more set after the next Deathly Hallows set, a comprehensive set that covers all 8 films.

Second Case...

Matthew Lewis as Neville Longbottom Auto
CFC5 114/213 Cells show the Gringotts carriage thingy XD

Very happy with the first box - Neville is one of my favourite characters and I love the design of the cards

Good luck with the rest of the case, but a majority of breakdowns show you will have trades
BTW, nice willpower to have unopened boxes sitting there

That's what I expect But for now they're not for trade.
My willpower really isn't that strong - I had to give them to my Mum for safekeeping XD
It's the first time I've ever spent this much money on any one thing - so I want it to last longer than a day!

I opened another box from my case today - I also let my friend open a box (her first ever box of cards)

Friend's box:
Chris Rankin as Percy Weasley Auto

My Box:
John Hurt as Mr Ollivander

I also pulled the case hit "You are a Winner" card for a HP3 Hobby Box

The Autos aren't for sale/trade.
I'm open to offers for the YAAW card, I'm not sure how much it's worth - so I haven't decided whether or not to redeem it myself yet

Is it a PoA Update box, or original PoA box? If it is NOT the update, I would have to say it might be one of the most valuable boxes of all the sets.

I'm almost positive it is the original POA set - Considering it says "HP3 Hobby Box" and the YAAW cards for the HBPU boxes say "HP6 Update Set Hobby Box"
