Are some cards more rare than others?

Yes. Special ‘chase cards’ are included in the Collection and are less common than regular cards. These cards are more in demand. They are printed differently from regular cards, e.g on foil board. All other cards in the Collection are printed and distributed as evenly as possible.

Are these exclusive Collections?

Yes. BIG-BALL Promotions cc holds the exclusive rights to produce these South African Trading Card Collections. BIG-BALL is a registered trademark and copyright on the BIG-BALL Trading Cards is held by BIG-BALL Promotions cc. These Collections are official licensed products.

Can I use any images from this website?

No. All copyright for the images and Trademarks used on this website are the intellectual property of BIG-BALL Promotions cc. Any use of these images and Trademarks is strictly prohibited.

How do I finish my Collection?

Limited stock of individual cards can be purchased from the online shop for past Collections. Current Collection individual cards are only made available for purchase once the Collection is no longer listed in stores, usually 8 – 12 months after the launch of the Collection. 2009 Cards | 2010 Cards | 2011 Cards | 2012 Cards available now.

I’m paying in SA Rand. Why can’t I use PayPal?

PayPal does not accept SA Rand payments so you should opt for the PayFast payment gateway or select one of the alternative methods of payment. Thanks so much for buying Big-Ball!

Information and Stats on the BIG-BALL Trading Cards

BIG-BALL Trading Cards are available from our online shop, while stocks last.
The current Collection is also available in Stationers, Supermarkets, Sport and Toy stores.

Why are the prices in SA Rand? I want to pay in Pounds!

This is because the “base currency” of this online shop is South African Rand. However, if you’re in the UK or any other country outside South Africa, the shop will know where you are located from your IP address (a unique identifying number given to you on the Internet) and will automatically change to Pounds when you begin the checkout process.

The little yellow price stickers above each card are fixed and don’t change dynamically when you’re in a country outside South Africa.

If you have any other questions about the currency you’re being asked to pay in, please let us know and we’ll get back to you with an answer.

Will any of the Collections be re-printed in the future?

No. Once a Collection is no longer in the stores or online to complete with us, it is finished. The Collections will not be made available again as we do not reproduce the same Collection twice. Collections are only available while stock lasts.
