2006 Artbox Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets trading cards mark the second time the card maker jumped back to fill in a gap with a film they missed during its original run seeing as how it predated their license. The set lacks that truly high-profile card that a lot of the other sets of Artbox Harry Potter cards have but that doesn’t make it a poor set.
The base set has the standard 90 cards that is typical for the sets centered on individual films. It retells the second film in the Harry Potter franchise with a fair number of character cards to go with the synopsis cards.
Most 2006 Artbox Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets boxes come with two premium inserts. Costume cards are the most common, landing one per box.
Autographs are inserted 1:48 packs. The most recognizable of the actors is Kenneth Branagh. Although this is the only Harry Potter set he signed for, the actor and director has also signed for his parts in the Wild Wild West movie and Thor. Other autographs in 2006 Artbox Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets include Shirley Henderson and Richard Griffiths.
Prop cards, which have pieces of items used on the set, fall 1:80 packs. These are the same odds as Cinema FilmCards that have a couple of frames from a movie print embedded in them. All costume, prop and Cinema Filmcards are serial numbered.
Rare Foil cards are the only other inserts in packs. These have a character on the front and go together to make a puzzle on the back.
Six hundred cases of 2006 Artbox Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets trading cards were produced.
