Japan Junior Promo Giant Growth

I have found one of the cards that I need for a Global Set, but I think it is absurdly overpriced. Is it normal for this card to be valued at 300€? I know it is signed, but I didn't thought it was that hard or expensive...

Even given that it is foil and Japanese I feel the seller is over hopeful. Does anyone have a feel for how many of these are printed? I suspect it is a prety low number but I would think that would have an effect.

there are very often some crazy prices on the mkm, when only one or two cards are left. Things go back to normal when more are added

I bought mine 6$ on ebay a few weeks ago...

I think the frustration here is with just finding one available. Even though the English foil is only a $1 card on Star City Games if the Japanese printing was small it might be real hard to get--therefore more expensive but 300 euros is far more than it is worth IMHO.

clearly, but the key here is the patience. I remember 2 years ago, I was looking for a FNM's Giant Growth on the MKM, there were only 2 of them, at 30€ !
I waited 2 or 3 monthes, and picked up one at 4€...
Very often, the seller think he should apply a very unfair price as he's the only one. From what I've seen, he never gets a buyer and he is forced to reduce it when another seller has one for almost 4x less :)

I agree strongly with your opinion about sellers that think they have "the only one" but disagre somewhat about small print cards. FNM cards used to start out at a good premium because everyone thought they were going to be scarce but as time passed and they just kept being available prices went down. Truely scarce promos (Mutivault) just keep going up in price. I think the case here is a combination of that kind of seller and a scarce card. So our friend has a delema that I don't envy.

I've bought several hard to find japanese stuff to macone, and all went well (thanks again :) ).
Maybe he have some left (21 indicated on this page), for just 5$ :)
Although it's been a long time since he updated his promo have list. Maybe he doesn't come here anymore.

In Japan, Japan Junior Tournament promo Giant Growth sells only 200 JPY ( 4 stock). May I buy it for you?

But JSS Glorious Anthem breaks over 10000 JPY.

And you KNOW which one I need.......

That will probably remain an empty slot in my book.

Sure! I also need some japanese cards for my global sets, and you might be able to get some of them. Look in my signature, and tell me, and also ask me if you are looking for something I can get for you.

Ordering JJT and other missing JP Giant Growth. When I got them, let you know.

JJT Glorious Anthem reaches around 20000 JPY... Horrible.
