Artbox is no stranger to strong sets of Harry Potter trading cards. However, out of more than a dozen full releases, 2006 Artbox Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Update might be one of the strongest.
With most of the sets having the same general configuration, it comes down to the checklists. This set has it with a couple of the best cards in the franchise’s history along with several second-tier gems.
The base set fills in the gaps left from the first Goblet of Fire set released when the fourth film in the Harry Potter franchise hit theaters. It has another 90 cards, which act as a bookend to a full 180-card series.
Autographs are inserted every other box. Any set that Daniel Radcliffe signs for, he’s going to be a highlight. The set also includes David Tennant. While he wasn’t a major figure in this franchise, he did go on to lead in Doctor Who.
This is the first Harry Potter set to have autographed costume cards. While the two Death Eater cards are somewhat generic, it’s a Quad Champions card that ranks as one of the greatest Harry Potter trading cards of all-time. This card, which was distributed via redemption, has autographs and costume pieces from Radcliffe, Robert Pattinson, Stanislav Ianevski and Clemence Poesy.
Regular Costume Cards are inserted one per 2006 Artbox Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Update box while Prop Cards and Cinema Filmcards are both 1:80 packs. All of these premium inserts come serial numbered.
The only other inserts found in packs are nine Foil Puzzle cards.
A total of 750 cases of 2006 Artbox Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Update were produced. Each had ten boxes.
