Just scored some UK OS boxes!  Series 3, box with 46 packs Series 5, box with 30 packs Series 5, full box (48 packs) The boxes aren't in mint condition, but not too bad. Well, the 3rd series box is pretty bad since the top has come off...  Now I just have to decide if I should open all the packs, or leave all or some of them. I don't think I have any 5th series in my collection so it's quite compelling to rip them open, but still... These are actually more desirable to me than the US versions since this is what I collected as I kid (I live in Sweden).   |

i like how the uk3 has potty scotty instead of adam bomb on the lid and the adam bomb packs instead of the potty scotty character..
i have a few display boxes myself but never noticed this box variation!!

I bought them on a swedish auction site. Good GPK stuff is quite rare there so I was quite excited to find them. I was not the only one finding them though so the price went pretty high! I don't know if it's the same on ebay (I've only bought stuff with fixed price from there), but on this site the prices can be low until there's a couple of minutes left and then go straight up! The last seconds are always nervous! Based upon the number of PM's I've gotten because of these I will most likely not open them. Not only because the value goes down, but if they are rare it seems stupid of me to remove more of these packs from the world. |

Is the 3rd series box the most rare? That would explain why it was the most expensive one even though the 5th series boxes are in better condition and one of the have all packs left.

I think the first time I saw the black 5th series box here in the UK, I sh*t a brick. It looked awesome and still does. Great to see it again. When I finally bought a US series 5 box and made up my own set I was really confused as to where some of my favourite cards were. I had to buy a US series 6 box to find out. Bizarre numbering but still a classic set. Thanks for sharing.

Whether you are currently using scoring, have tried and failed to use scoring or are considering using scoring in your collections operation, doing it profitably can be an elusive endeavor. You can hardly turn a page in our industry reading without hearing someone tout the benefits of it. But is scoring really all it is cracked up to be? Are companies really making more money because of it, or are they finding it a giant waste of time and money? We will shed light on this, no matter which group above you are in. Go put your head up your..... See if it fits |

Question about the uk os3 boxes.
You got the green en red potty scotty boxes with same colour packs in side. Now i presume that the green adam bomb box has the adam bomb packs inside. Or were there also boxes with potty scotty packs sold??
Thanks

Anybody have any additional info or other pics of the UK Giant Series box? I'm looking to add this empty box to my collection and was wondering if the box also has a similar copyright/cat # to the UK Giant wrapper: "RED And CLEAR WRAPPER (0-452-15-01-6) MADE IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND - BY TOPPS IRELAND LTD, BALLINCOLLIG, CORK."  gpkworld.com/UK_Giant_Series.htmAny help would be much appreciated! :-) |
