Awesome card- I think DomTom has the others you mentioned. At first glance it looks off center but its not-- a true gem. You have a great collection man!!! Thanks for sharing. The Semi Colon always has that curved top right pink corner; doesn't come to a point for whatever reason, maybe that is why it looked off-center to you at first. Looks beautiful to me. I know Tom has 1 of the Semis from his collection thread (along with alot of 9s). I purchased a PSA 9 from him a long while back. -------------------------- I saw this one on eBay and thought it was reasonably priced considering how rare it is. Certainly not cheap, but I think you got a good deal. Nice pick up. |

He has not been around here in quite some time however. So including DonTom's, that would be all 3 accounted for. I was happy with the price. I bought it for considerably less than I sold my other one for. |

(more boarder on right side than left and more boarder on top than bottom). Prob just the pic and the angle if it looks great in person, and if it got the nod form professional graders. Super rare and awesome addition to the collection! |

With the help of TCT I picked up some items out of Colombia recently: Here is an interesting album that is almost complete. It is half GPK and half Trash Can Trolls Front:  Inside:  Back:  I also got 5 Colombian game cards Front:  Back:  And I got a bunch of these little interesting cards. They are smaller than any foreign cards I have ever seen. I put a regular sized card in there to give perspective. The backs are blank and they are very flimsy. Not sure what the deal is with them:  Thanks for looking guys. |

Both frames are awesome and really add to the art IMO, particularly the one for Ellie Deli.

Wow, Your collection puts mine to shame! Love seeing all the foreign cards etc.
I really dig the Colombian playing cards ( it'd be sweet to get a complete deck).
Keep the pics coming! Love looking thru your collection thread.

I probably have an idea of what these cards are, but if they are from Columbia then I may be wrong... What are the exact dimensions of these cards? |

Well they were bought out of Columbia but I suppose they could have come from anywhere. What are you thinking you know about them? Any info is appreciated. Thanks. |

Okay so judging from your picture, the cards' size seems to be a quarter of a standard trading card. The only cards that I know of in that size are called "teks", which were once very popular in the Philippines. The subject matter of these cards are usually based on american pop culture and sometimes asian pop culture, so there may be a possibility that GPK teks were also printed. I think they are still being produced today but they are not as popular as they were in the 50s-90s. You can check out this page for more info about teks here: pinoykollektor.blogspot.ca/2012/01/58-pinoy-teks-cards.htmlI actually used to collect cards like these when I was a kid, so when I saw your post I was suddenly reminded of them. I find it interesting that these were from Columbia because I thought only the Philippines had cards like these! |

Were they stickers? The cards that I have are very thin flimsy paper and are not stickers. I can send you one so you can check it out and let me know what you think. Are you from the Philippines? Did they have GPK in the Philippines in the 1980s? |

Teks were printed on cheap cardstock and they were not stickers either.
Yes, I am from the Philippines. I don't think there were any GPK cards back then but the cartoon series did air over there.

My colombian album is full and complete and have the same cards in them and looks like your colombian album also has the same cards in them Jimbo so im pretty sure those cards are from colombia and not the phillipines. Great collection BTW nice school set you got there and it came all the way from Japan? Guess i need to expand my search for imperial items.

Hey guys, Here are some stickers I got from New Zealand. Thanks to Barren Aaron for posting a link a few weeks ago. They came from a skateboard company. (BTW, I have nothing bad to say about any particular religion. I just got the stickers because they were GPK themed and I thought they were kind of funny.)  |

Thanks Travis. Series 2 are the bottom 4 cards in my picture. When I contacted that company I asked about series 1. The guy told me that he only had one set of series 1 cards left. So he sent me that set. I told him that he should think about re-printing series 1 because GPK collectors might be interested in buying some. So if enough of you guys ask about it then maybe they will re-print them. |
