Metal Gear Solid Trading Card help?
I apologise if this is in the wrong area, but here goes.
I've got a fairly decent collection of the old Acetate trading cards lying in my attic, and while I'm not particularly interested in selling them for the moment, does anyone know if there's a rough price guide available for the things? I've seen a couple of unopened packets going for $65 and $85 on eBay, but I've never seen individual cards... any help is muchly appreciated!

I know for sure that I've only seen a handful in a batch lot on eBay, other than the fucking $70 single packets. I've seen the Policenauts cards more often....
Not sure about Yahoo! Auctions Japan though. That's always a great place to start.
Edit: I just went to Yahoo! Auctions Japan, and looked through 27 pages of メタルギアソリッド, and didn't see any cards...

Ehh?? Really? I don't know anything about them... ^^; Sorry~87th wrote:Weren't the MGS Trading Cards used to promote the game in Europe? I wouldn't expect to find them in Japan.
Hey-- Wait a second. I'm looking at the back of the box, and there's two divisions of bar-codes, one for the US, and the other for Japan... http://junkerhq.net/MetalGear/mgtcimages.html

Took me a surprisingly long time to find my way back here... there's probably a lesson about bookmarking floating around there...
Anyhoo, sound for the rarity listing, should help with pricing and is probably the best I can hope for in any case! Much obliged, and Merry Belated Christmas!

If you ever have trouble finding your way back onto here; just Google Search: "Snatcher Policenauts". It's like the third option down!sairus wrote:Took me a surprisingly long time to find my way back here... there's probably a lesson about bookmarking floating around there...

Re: Metal Gear Solid Trading Card help?
I've recently bought a set of 22 cards and all 9 checlists for ~18€.sairus wrote:I apologise if this is in the wrong area, but here goes.

Re: Metal Gear Solid Trading Card help?
I believe these cards never made it in US soil when it was distributed. I knew about the acetate cards only a couple of years ago and started to search for them (unfortunately in e-bay). Unfortunately for me, being in the US, most sellers come from the UK and Australia. so I envy you guys there for being so blessed with lots of MGS merchandise...sairus wrote:I apologise if this is in the wrong area, but here goes.

I am desperately trying to collect these cards. So hopefully, those who are planning to sell PM me please. But I can't guarantee that it will be a sure sell for you guys coz I'm also working on a budget... But anyone who comes forward is welcome.
