These are all great! Thx for the pics. I heard there are 24 cards in this series, going to be very hard to make a set.

24? That's a lot. So far, the only place I've been finding the s23's is a nearby Cost Plus World Market. The packs are $3.99 there.

I've been keeping track of these and have a count of 14 S20, 4 S22, and 9 S23.
All of these are still out there now in stores, and there is much repetition, with most names appearing in 2 sets.
I haven't found any S23's here in my town, but I have 5 that I have picked up in trades.

A few days ago, I went to the same Cost Plus World Market I've been going to for these. They had some packs in a different display rack and I noticed they had a different Best Before date (Sept 2025) and they were discounted 55% off. I wondered why that was until I opened a pack. The candy was melted to the point of being misshapen and smeared over the card package. The card inside was clean. I ended up buying four packs and actually pulled four different s23's than I had before - all card packages smeared with chocolate so I cut open the packages and put the cards in sleeves. I'll get pictures up soon but here's the updated checklist of what I have:
Are any of these actually referenced in the books?
Personally, I like the cards available at the Universal Parks better but they are way too expensive to buy blind!

I have these spare s23 that you don't have on your list: Bertie Bott, Gilderoy Lockhart, Goodric Gryffindor, Hengist of Woodcroft, Herpo the Foul, Ignatia Wildsmith, Merlin, Salazar Slytherin
Thanks! Greg

Hi Greg,
I can trade those two. I'll try to contact you directly tomorrow.
Incidentally, I was in a Michael's the other day looking for page protectors as I organize some notes. On my way out I spotted a box of these Chocolate Frogs on their big snack rack and the packs had a different "Best Before" date, "Jan 04, 2026." I thought it might belong to a new series do I bought one even though it was priced at $4.99 but it was another s23, Godric Gryffindor. I didn't have that one.

Since my July 16 post, the local Cost Plus sold out of those melted/discounted packs and haven't restocked. Last week, I went to the Party City where I found packs with s22 cards before that. The packs are $4.50 there but I bought two, getting two s23 cards - ones I already had. Maybe it's just all just a box of chocolates but are the s22 cards harder to find than the s23's?

I found some s23 at World Market recently, hiding near the checkout.

It's cool they are still making these.
This has to be one of the longest running sets ever produced.

I believe there are only 20 cards in this set I have 19 and missing just Bowman Wright. I have not seen any others.
Steve Trek - do you still have a Wright for trade I can offer a Dooderidge?
Thanks.

Picked up an extra Devlin Whitehorn and Bridget Wenlock if anyone is looking for these.
