A question for the half of a person that collects the TCG.

Ok, I asume that there is atleast one person who collects the Score TCG, and for that person, I have a question.

Last night I got the GT and DB box sets I won off of eBay, and the seller threw in two of those cards in. I don't have any other of these new cards (I do have a large collection of the old series though), and want to know, is the fact that it says "Saiyan" under the picture refering to Janemba, or to the effect it has? I'm kinda hoping for the former, so there is a chance that it's some odd misprint, and it's worth more than $3. Anyways, thought I would see if anyone knew.

As the fact that I'm not into the card game as I used to be (I never played, though, only collected), it's kind of puzzling. What I do know, is that's on the template for the new "Arrival" set, so the word "Saiyan" designates his race (why he'd be a Saiyan is beyond me... it's clear he's not). If I'm not mistaken, that was the pre-order item for Budokai Tenkaichi...

I used to be into the TCG (until World Tournament set killed my experience by completely flipping everything around). It might signify that the fighting style is Saiyan.

No clue why they'd say that, though, since Janemba's not even related to the Saiyan race.

Ok, thanks. I figured that it should say "Majin" or something of that sort.

The "Saiyan" does indeed signify race. Thus far, there are four races: "Saiyan" (Son Gokuu, Vegeta, Raditz, etc.), "Namek" (Piccolo), "Human" (Yamucha, Tenshinhan, Lunch, etc.), and Alien (Freeza, Zarbon, Dodoria, etc.)

Ok, I wonder why they would have put Saiyan there, perhaps they weren't sure of Janemba's race yet? I wonder if it's worth anything. Hah, I can wish can't I?

Well, it's not a rare error or anything (every copy reportedly has this error). If they didn't know Janemba's true race (Demon, I'd figure), they could put Alien on there or something... he's CLEARLY not a Saiyan.

That said, the only Janemba card I see on auction at this moment is going for $4.99... so I don't think you'll get much.

Yeah, I didn't figure it was a rare error, as I have 2 copys. Anyways, thanks for you help guys. I 'spose this can be closed now.
