Ah, the MGS2 "clear files"
Offered by Konamistyle 7 years ago. They're just file folders with some Shinkawa artwork.
I'm not saying these are not that great though, they can fetch up to $100 each. VERY sought after item. Konamistyle exclusives are starting to reach the sought after status of the shareholder items.
The Premium+ PSP pack...the white sorter...the life-size statues on the euro site heh..

$99 buy-it-now or best offer. I suggest just buying it so nobody else snags it. This will go quick!
Be careful of stock pictures though....you may want to double check about the seal.

I was in touch with this seller for a few days now. He said he has 6 boxes to dispose. As of last night he said he was down to the last box as he received hundreds of emails... He said the last box will be put on ebay soon.

Wow he's down to his last box eh? I bought the first one and he asked if I wanted to buy any of the 17 he had left. He must have a few grand sitting in his paypal account now heh.

Really? WOW!!!
And you know what? I asked him one time during my e-mails with him if he is a collector. You know what he said... HE IS NOT! And now, knowing from you ( he has 17 boxes??? plus 1 you bought) 18 x $250.00 is
$4,500.00!!!

I was actually trying to make a deal with him... he said he'd give me a price of 180$ each if I were to grab all 17 boxes.
then i was checking my account, and yeah... for a uni student, i dont have much to spare, so i had to drop the offer.

he refused to sell any to me less than 250. so i politely declined.

Yup! That's the reason why I computed the thing as
X $250. I was also making a deal with him, but he was firm with $250 each box... I am really intrigued how he got hold of so many boxes of it and have held-on it after all these years without opening or selling them. That was some guy! I wish I was him!

yah he said he wasnt a collector, so im sure he just happened to get his hand on old stock for relatively cheap, cause i know he had offered boxes for 150 to others buying several at a time before he got so much interest and decided 250 was his number.

Which brings me to ask, where were these trading cards sold when these were released way back when? (whether here in the US, UK etc etc)... I only knew about these trading cards when I started collecting MGS stuff about 4 years ago (that was when my family and I migrated here in the US)... I have about 170 cards to date... But none of the really rare ones (like the "gazelles" and "fox's")... Those are really very expensive nowadays!
EDITED: Correction, I only have 135 trading cards and 16 checklist cards to date...

they were supposidly being sold in the US, but since the shipping and pricing of the cards were so expensive, they ditched the idea. so basically many retailers sold them for VERY VERY cheap or they like.. threw them out.

I got mine for $225, so he is a bit flexible. I think I bought his first box though and he probably saw my offer and was like "WOW $225 I GOT 17 MORE!!".
I didn't get a steal though, but I have seen boxes in the past go over $400.

I have always wondered what it says on the black sticker on the sealing of all books. Anyone knows? its like "If you break this seal it will be worth a hell of a lot less", right?

I think it means "warning: spoiler inside"
I only say that because it's usually on guides or making-of features....
