A question

Pardon me if this kind of request is not allowed, but I wonder if anybody have a better version of this pic, or at least know where I can find or get/buy it from? It looks like a card, but I can't be sure...
Thanks in Advance!

That's the World Series volume 4 DVD clear card.

Kind of a long title. but. basically, the only way to get it is to buy either the limited edition or Animate limited edition of the volume 4 DVD. So the one with Russia and China on the cover, or on the Animate version, Finland on the art sleeve.

Chances are, though, when you look for the DVD, any and all copies under 2500 yen are only the regular edition. So no card.

I'm on the hunt for an affordable copy of this too, though, since Russia's Hatafutte Parade CD is in there. So good luck?

/o/ Worst case, I can find it easily, so I'd be entirely willing to split the thing with you, and buy the DVD for part of the price~

Also, not sure if it helps, but here's (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v47/Vailo/RussiaCollection/SDC13590.jpg) a better photo of a clear card.

They're a nice thick plastic, but still see-through. They're a tiiiiny bit shorter than a regular trading card, but I wouldn't call that a problem. They'll still fit in regular card sleeves, but they also come with their own.

The "not for sale" printed on them is probably the best part though. It just shows off the rareness even more. And with the pathetically small market for DVDs in the western fandom, they really are some of the hardest merchandise to get.

Aaaand I'm probably spamming you now. But.

I looked and the cheapest copy at the moment is about $60. Not including shipping. But then, I've paid $41 for one of those cards before.

Still, let me know if you're interested. I'll be searching every day, regardless, for any copies under $30. A split like $25 for the DVD and $5 for the card would be great. Or even entire auction cost + fees for the DVD, and nothing but shipping for the card. I think my limit to contribute is around $40.

If the Op isn't interested, I definitely would be -> never can resist anything Nordic

/o/ Sure~

xD of course. Since OP is OP, I'm thinking I should still wait to see what they say.

Aside from that, I have a friend opening up an FJ box later this week, since we want to be ready to get a full deck of the fourth trading card set as soon as it's out. So any time early March is awesome.

The OP definitely gets first dibs :D

And if they pass, early March works for me...btw, do you know if they have posted any promo art from the fourth trading card set?

Uhm, beyond the box covers, I really don't know. But my guess is they're based on the movie. In any case, as soon as they start showing up, we'll see. ;u; And since the release date is "early March", that's not too much longer to wait.

Movie cards would be cool (and it would mean an Iceland card!), but yeah we'll see them soon can't figure out where February went to
