This arrived yesterday, direct from China:

Here’s what I saw when I opened it:

This was mysterious, since I never ordered a binder like this! After I removed it and explored the rest of the contents, I discovered many things I did buy:

Eight sealed boxes of trading cards and three single packs of A5-sized cards! These are more of the unusual Chinese ‘anime girl’ cards, which I’m still buying after discovering them about a year ago. We still live opening the packs because the cards are so weird and random!

The box also contained eleven free gifts! I’ve learned over the last year that trading card purchases from Chinese stores often come with free gifts, but I was surprised to see so many. They included cards, acrylic stands, badges, stickers and this:

Yes this binder was a free gift! It’s big and bold with a puffy cover beautifully printed front and back with cute art. It came with a big bunch of card storage pages and I’ll use it to store the more exceptional cards I’ve pulled from packs.

This shipment took 18 days to arrive from China (in perfect condition), and cost less than you probably think even including the ~$64 shipping. I was so satisfied I was sure to get right on Amazon and order some more 🙂
