Its crazy whats happening to Jungle in general aside from No Symbol boxes. A little over a year ago 1st ed booster boxes were going for $2,800 now they hit around 4k comfortably and I dont see it stopping there. Probably due to the fact 1st ed psa 10 vaporeons and other cards in the set are selling at record breaking prices and are all popular low pop desired cards. And yea No symbol gem mint cards have made major strides along with it. No symbols and 1st eds are literally on par now. Jungle has skyrocketed to a whole new lvl and has caught the attention of a lot of collectors theres no question. Its just an interesting set. Has an entire other set within itself lol (no symbol), along with an iconic trio and low pops in gem mint forms. Thats pretty incredible for 1 set. No Symbols are the Shadowless of Jungle.
@zap2,Also got mine from a ~400 pack case with the same short crimps. Like @smpratte, said it doesn’t seem like there are any differences with how the packs look to distinguish them from regular jungle unlimited.
So if I could get a refund guarantee if I open the box and it turns out that it’s just a standard unlimited booster box then I’m in pretty good shape it seems? Definitely not going for a five figure price though.
There is currently a seller on ebay offering a box that he guarantees 99.9% that is No Symbol error box here. I have also seen some videos on instagram of people opening boxes of jungle and getting no symbols.
I think if you are not buying from a verified source, it’s really a chance’s game with them…buy a pack and roll the dice, maybe you will get lucky.
Not trying to sell on here, but a box with that guarantee would have an asking price of $14,995. The only way to confirm is by:
- Opening a sealed case
- Confirming one box has no symbols
- Keep the other 5 boxes separated and not mixing with other Jungle boxes (no clear identifiers yet)
The level of difficulty of meeting these requirements is near impossible in 2020. It’s truly a rare item with much of the value based on trust in the seller. It would be difficult to provide a long term guarantee (keeping the sales cash available in case of a refund). If the buyer intends to open, it’s more affordable to buy packs from the distributor case sellers.
The silver lining, the hunt will remain organic. Similar to Pop 5 packs, they can’t be weighed for the GS cards. I think its pretty cool they can’t be optimized. Provides an incentive to open unlimited.
Problem with purchasing a no symbol box is trying to resell it afterwards it’ll get harder and harder to prove its provenance with each change of hand.
