Description: HI! PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY! (It will take you less than 2 minutes and 30 seconds.) First things first. NO DISCOUNT. Ever. I do not offer discounts on any of my Buy It Now listings for the past 24 years. ALL MY PRICES ARE FAIR. Because they have to be. This is NOT my hobby. THIS IS HOW I TRY TO EARN A LIVING FOR THE PAST 28 YEARS, INCLUDING THE LAST 24 YEARS ON EBAY. That means I have to sell my items in a timely manner. Otherwise, my wife will say something like this: "Hey, Jerry, when are you going to make a deposit at the bank?" Fortunately that has not happened too often in the past 28 years. This is a Buy It Now listing for a rare factory sealed box of Japanese JUNGLE Pokemon booster packs. The box has 60 packs, with 10 cards per pack. THERE IS A HOLO CARD IN EVERY PACK. THAT'S 60 HOLOS IF YOU ARE SCORING AT HOME. This has been owned by me for more than 25 years. When I invested in Pokemon in 1999 and 2000, I bought a lot. English. Japanese. Spanish. French. Portuguese! I believed then--like I believe now--that Pokemon would be a better longterm investment than at least 95% of the stocks on the New York or NASDAQ stock exchanges. Although I did buy a lot of Pokemon, I should have bought more. THIS IS THE ONLY BOX OF JAPANESE JUNGLE I WILL EVER SELL. The other four boxes of this will be left to my four children. Hey, I don't have a villa in Spain or Antigua to leave them! Like everything else I have sold on eBay since 2000, I have priced this to sell because while I am alive, I need to earn a living. Can I guarantee you will double or triple your money on this in, say, five years or ten years? Of course not. I only give 100% guarantees on two things: 1) We are all going to die (what a bummer!) and 2) The sun rises in the East and sets in the West. But consider this: The vast majority of people on the planet over the age of 10 have NEVER owned a single Pokemon card, no matter what language it is printed in. And the early Japanese series are running out. EVEN IN JAPAN! POKEMON HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN. The price for this factory sealed box is $18,500.00. I HAVE OBVIOUSLY PRICED THIS TOO LOW WHEN MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN EBAYERS HAVE ALREADY PUT THIS ON THEIR WATCH LIST. THIS PRICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 23. IF IT IS NOT SOLD AND PAID FOR BY THAT DATE, I AM RAISING THE PRICE TO $19,800. Why? Because when a big local area dealer offers me almost as much as I am selling this for--with of course no eBay fees--then I would be a fool to keep the price where it is. So, if you want to save $1,300, buy it and pay for it on or before Sunday, September 23. Thank you for your understanding. Now, finally, the rules: 1) No discount. You either want it or you don't. If you want it, the price is $18,500.00 until September 23. If you don't want it, you would be overpaying by $18,500.00. 2) Please add $284.00 for insured shipping with signature required (and sent registered mail) if you live in the continental U.S. I also ship worldwide through Ebay's International Shipping Program. Ebay charges a fee for this service, so check Ebay for details. I have shipped to 30 countries. 3) Payment is due within three days of purchase. 4) Paypal preferred, but other forms of payment are fine, too. 5) I am proud of my feedback on Ebay, encompassing more than 7,700 separate transactions over the past 24 years. If you have a couple more minutes, please check my other listings. 6) I specialize in rare but affordable collectibles and memorabilia with major focus on five things: sports cards, framed and unframed photos, Beanie Babies, Marilyn Monroe items (somebody has to do it!), and Pokemon cards and plush. 7) The most important rule of all--DON'T FORGET RULE NUMBER ONE! Thanks for reading this far. And if you have a question, keep it to yourself. (Just kidding!) Stay safe. Jerry P.S. The smart investor is sometimes wrong but is NEVER afraid. P.P.S. The box is in beautiful shape and is exactly the same condition I bought it in 1999. Like the five boxes I bought of this, it did not come shrink wrapped. Mailed to you double boxed for added safety in shipping. (By the way, this is far rarer than Japanese Base.)
