In the UK we get jumbo cards of the promos I have a bunch of theem from Krookodile to the base 2 Chari Venu and Blast.
In the US you get the figure, are the jumbos something you US collectors are into? Or what are your thoughts?
Just a random thread for a discussion.I personally would love some of the figures.
Seems like they can sell for a decent amount in the US, like $10+ and shipping, which is decent if you buy the box for $20 or less. I’m sure you could find someone to do a large exchange with to make shipping costs worth it
Ah I see I’m open to helping out US collectors with getting jumbo cards etc if they’d like.
I like the jumbo’s I do think we need to be able to make a deck out of them(I’m purely a collector, but would make a deck for the pure novelty factor!XD) I keep them in a sleeved office style folder at the moment, but I believe you can sleeve and topload them.
I love the pins, but we don’t get that many here in the UK, or they are costly to buy in the boxes and so on.
Saying that I bought a bunch of pins from ebay recently
for around £29.
Not too fussed about the plastic coins though i do have quite a few.Id only keep one of each different if I come across them, but do not seek them out.
I’m not gonna lie…those PSA slabs for jumbos are absolutely MASSIVE but I can’t help but love them!
to OP:
I think it’s unfair that UK gets the jumbo while we get figures. Every Charizard box I ordered from UK came in damaged. IMO I think they should release the same stuff everywhere. Or could combine the figure with the jumbo in the same box. We sent people into space…I think we can handle making a plastic mold that fits both of them.
Oh cool, must import them.We rarely get the figures in the UK.In my experience Pokemon cards in general are scarce on the high street.You can get plenty online but popping to the shops holds few boxes tins etc, unlike the US. Huge shame in my opinion Ive seen yt videos of people going to buy products …the variety is amazing.
I always thought that the Jumbos were pretty useless… but after seeing @ozenigma 's graded Jumbos… I should start taking good care of them hahah So cool in the PSA case!!!
I graded the worlds first psa 10 of the jumbo lugia. Pretty tough to find in mint condition as they we’re distributed in small magazines which were easily damaged by kids as the magazine was the same size as the jumbo.
They look great, but don’t try grade the coro coro charizard japanese, it is ‘too big’ by psa’s standards… that’s what she said also…
