Here’s a giant among jumbos: a 7-inch-by-10-inch Giratina released to promote the 2008 tournament that would send Japan’s representatives to the 2009 World Championships in San Diego.

Because of this, and the fact that it is plastic rather than cardboard, this “card” probably should be referred to as a _shitajiki._
