Title: Ebay Quandry. PLEASE pick an option.
Post by: BHMike on July 10, 2008, 07:59:41 PM

Solve this for me please:

(http://http://www.classicfigs.com/ebay/gijfc1.JPG)

Can you tell me if these are CND or American cards?

1. They are being sold by a CND.
2. They are listed on ebay.ca
3. The description does not state either way if they are U.S. or Canadian backers, but does state to email the seller if you have any questions.

So, assume you collect these, and see them with 5-10 mins left in the bidding time.

What would you do if you only collected U.S. cards and you saw these?

Thanks,
Mike

Looks like there's French on that one card that you can actually see.  So I would assume they're Canadian.

They're obviously  Canadian.    The  Battle force Logo   bis a dead give away.  as is the Iron Grenadiers logo.  ( look  English.. and French)

The  Cards  for the later  Battle corps  figures  were also  of  a completely  different design than  the US counter parts.  Basically they are a Canadian Exclusive card.

You can see three of them  in the picture   Between the  Ninja Force ones and the Crimson Guard Commander  card  to the right.


the Gi Joe logo  is  running  top to bottom, and as far as I know, that  was only  done here.


 If  I were a US card collector  only, i probably wouldn't bid,  but  as  a Canadian collector  sure.

I speak French, so it's easy for me to see the bilingual logo "Iron Grenadier/Grenadier de Fer" or the other one "Battle Corps Combat".

Agreed.

Didn't the US cards have " A Real American Hero" under GIJOE? I know a lot of different years Canadian cards did not have that by-line.
None of those cards have that byline.
