UK 2011 Snowman card on ebay

[E17Neil]

I see that a 2011 UK Snowman card has just been listed on ebay with a starting bid of £175.00 - I wonder if it will sell and what the final price will be...

Just noticed the UK Snowman card has one bid on it already. It will be interesting to see what it finishes up at.

Possibly most people don't realise just how scarce this card is. I can confirm that it was never released to any of the UK Starbucks stores, and the issue quantity is very small. There was another Corporate card came out at the same time which was the generic Christmas Tree design but on a different series no and card ID to the one which could be picked up in the stores. I was told that the quantity of that card was in the "few hundreds" too.

The only precedent to these cards in the UK was the Caribbean (Black) card which had a limited print run on series 6029. Apparently this was in luxurious packaging as a corporate giveaway.

Same design, but that's the Hong Kong version which was available in the stores there.
