It didn’t take long for the boy wizard to prove to be a trading card powerhouse. 2005 Artbox Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire trading cards are the fourth successful set to include an impressive mix of autographs, costume and prop cards. There’s also that slick main part of the set.
The base set uses 90 cards to introduce key characters and the story. It’s not all here. The gaps were filled in with the Update set that came a few months later. The design doesn’t change much from Artbox’s other main Harry Potter trading card products outside of the name of the film on the front and the color of the caption bar.
At the time of the set’s release, Rupert Grint and Gary Oldman were the most desirable autographs. Then a little something called Twilight happened. Today, Robert Pattison has joined the ranks of the top autographs not only in this set, but all Harry Potter autographs. Inserted 1:48 packs, approximately every other box of 2005 Artbox Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire trading cards has an autograph.
Costume cards are inserted one per hobby box. These and the tougher-to-pull Prop cards are all serial numbered to varying amounts. Many of the rarest ones aren’t in packs, though. Rather they were given as incentives or distributed at special events.
Packs have a couple of other inserts as well. Cinema Filmcards have a pair of film frames embedded in them. There are also nine Triwizard Prismatic Foil cards.
A total of 600 ten-box hobby cases of 2005 Artbox Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire trading cards were produced.
