This is an EXTREMELY RARE, original Spanish Vintage STREET FIGHTER II TRADING CARDS ALBUM 100% COMPLETE with ALL OF IT'S CARDS!!!

I have recently been told that placing trading cards in albums is a European thing only (this has come as quite a suprise to me), so here is a brief explanation that you can totally skip if you are familiar with this kind of item.

In Spain, and in some other European countries like for example France and Italy, we have always had what can be translated as "trading card albums".

That is, soft cover, stapled books (like comic-books but generally thicker and bigger) related to a series, cartoon, movie or topic, where trading cards are literally stuck (in Spain they are called "cromos", and they have always been very popular).

This trading cards are always numbered, and they have to be placed in their specific, numbered spot in the album.

They have always been bought where albums are sold, and they always come in small packages of 5 to 8 random -and always different- cromos (older trading cards were made of cardboard and had to be stuck with a glue bar, whereas modern ones are adhesive).

Whatever cromos were repeated are/were added to a pile, brought to school and exchanged there with other kids.

Ultimately, in case of not finding the ones you were missing, you could order them by writting to the manufacturer. 

DESCRIPTION: 

Considering what I have just explained, you can now appreciate that what you are seeing here is a real treasure: an original STREET FIGHTER II ALBUM back from the 1990's, in GREAT CONDITION AND WITH ALL OF IT'S 240 TRADING CARDS.

When I say GREAT it is because I can not emphasize enough that kids took their albums to school.

So finding a complete album like this one, with this level of preservation, is nothing short of a feat.

And as an album and/or a Street Fighter collector, you should never miss the chance to get this kind of rarities!!!

DECADE: 1990's

SIZE: 30 x 23 cm. (11.75" x 9") approx.

CONDITION: Very Good. Both the cover and back have minor signs of usage (finding this album with an intact cover is almost impossible, and the one you are seeing is as clean and nice as it can be found), and the inside is in really great shape: 

All pages are very well preserved (specially for their age), they have no scribbling whatsoever, the cards are very nicely stuck overall, the images are crisp and it is quite clear that this album was very well taken care of.

Please notice that this album has been LAMINATED by it's prior owner (meaning that it has a protective plastic cover to insure it's preservation).

As always, please review all 12 (TWELVE) pictures included in this description, so you can appreciate what I am explaining... and because it is very well worth it!!!

SPINE: Good to Very Good (stapled). Very solid copy. Very light rubbing.

NUMBERED PAGES: 50 pages + 1 unnumbered, double-sided poster.

COMENTS: This is a very rare, "super vintagy" and exceptional album, and I believe you will be extremely happy with it, as it also happens to be a collectible very rarely seen in international markets.
