3 Questions regarding rare (or not) Snatcher/MGS/RE Items

Hi there,

I am a long-time (5+ years) lurker on this forum and site.

Ive found an offer from a jap seller regarding a complete set of the Snatcher Trading Cards (including the transparent SP Cards)
they are in a 9 out of 10 condition.
he is asking for about 200$

fair or not fair? what do you think? how rare are those Special Cards and the cards in general?
I never saw an offer like this before, only sealed packs or 10-packs (for around 100$)

my second question:
whats a sealed PAL copy of MGS for the PSX worth?
first edition, no platinum. completely wrapped (no other seal)

an question #3, not kojima related.
I ve got a copy of RE2 (PAL, german subtitles) which is a rarity in itself because the game was banned one week after release because of german
censorship.
BUT it is as the Special Edition, which means: a special cardboard packaging, a RCPD T-shirt and a metal Pin. (as far as I know exclusice to this edition)
The only Info I found comes from a german RE database which says that its extreme rare, and was only released in germany, austria and switzerland
the game is in played but in working condition and the box plus all the other items are " like new"
here are some pics, and thanks in advance.

EDIT: I found a english site regarding this item:

I wonder whats it worth it?!

I can at least answer one of the questions myself:
My Resident Evil box went for roughly 330 Euros on an open auction on Ebay.

The complete card set isn't that rare in Japan it seems, I've seen about 8 in the last few years. They usually go around 100-150, plus commission and shipping.

I already bought one, since I asked that question, right in the middle of the Price Span you just mentioned.
I am glad I didnt overpaid that seller.

Still enjoying that bunch of cards.
