Hello I'm from Spain and I have all the collections that came out in Spain, a yellow album with 275 stickers and another blue album with 252 cardboard stickers without adhesive I have 6 albums of each series complete and apart all the collections spanishpanolas complete without pasting
My collections of Spain I have got them from people who when they were children collected them and never by ebay
Now I have started with the series of united states
I have bought the complete series 3, 5 and 6 for 140 euros for ebay
Can you help me and say if it's a fair price?
Which series has more value? The United States or the United Kingdom?
I'm sorry, I barely speak English
Thank you very much

Hello! Welcome to the board! This is just my opinion, but it might be better to buy the remaining sets from a U.S. seller. The guy you bought your sets from is selling them for a higher price, presumably because it cost him more to get them. If you buy from a U.S. seller, the sets should be less expensive (because the cards originate from here). Also, you'll probably pay less because the dollar is weaker than the euro. Shipping might cost you more, but the final total would be lower I'd think. Don't beat yourself up because of what you paid for what you've already bought. But for the remaining twelve sets, I'd look for a trustworthy U.S. seller. What do the rest of you think? Is this good advice? Or am I talking out of my butt?

Hello seymourbarf Thank you very much for the information I will consider your advice Where can I find sellers in the United States that can sell series of trading cards? Do you sell some series? I in Spain if I have contacts and change and buy Spanish series but in the United States I just started as I have commented I know I bought a little expensive but I do not know US sellers Hi, sorry the late reply. I was away on vacation this weekend. I do not sell OS series. But there are trustworthy U.S. sellers on eBay. Some (like thickwastedtave) are very expensive (though perhaps still cheaper than your British seller because of the exchange rate). I can't recommend any from personal experience, as I haven't bought any OS sets (I assembled all of my sets myself by purchasing large lots of cards and choosing the best ones for my collection). But I would search on eBay for complete sets and then make sure the seller has good feedback ratings, and that their positive feedback rating is high (99% or better). Also make sure the seller has clearly described the set they are offering for sale. If their description just says something like "OS8 complete set, NICE!", that's not a great description. You want to know things like whether the corners of the cards are sharp, whether the cards have wax or gum stains, etc. You can ask the seller those questions, but if they've already answered them in their description that is a sign of a good seller. For instance, thickwastedtave wants $60 plus shipping for this OS3 set, which I think is expensive: www.ebay.com/itm/1986-Garbage-Pail-Kids-3rd-Series-88-CARD-NICE-PACK-FRESH-VARIATION-SET-TWT/112965947332?hash=item1a4d4b8fc4:g:7PQAAOSwepla5J8rBut note that in the description it states that these are pack-fresh cards, and that there are no stains. There are other sets listed from other sellers, but they may not be pack-fresh. So maybe $60 isn't so expensive to you if you are looking for cards pulled right out of the packs and in perfect condition. I'm not so picky, and so I'd be happy to have cards in good (not perfect) condition for half that price. And again, I'm not pointing you towards thickwastedtave. I think they are very expensive, and I only buy from them when I really can't find what I'm looking for at a cheaper price somewhere else. But I will say that they are honest in all dealings I've had with them, and they do a very good job of revealing in their descriptions any issues or problems with their items.

Thank you very much for answering me so extensively I here in Spain make my own collection little by little I never buy anything for ebay because I buy through people who sell their own collections from when they were little or I look in old markets But since I live in Spain I can not use the same method for collections from the United States, that's why I have to die on ebay I am aware that ebay is selling expensive and I do not like to focus all my purchases through ebay, better only sometimes as you tell me, but since I live in Spain I do not know how to do it, that is why I have signed up this website and I have been invited to facebook group of international market of Garbage pail Kids
