This is just a cost saving thing, European packaging has always been about saving money, that and making more money than in the US.

I remember the old German bios on the boxes from the old days, I kinda miss those days.

I'd much rather see them shrink the card, fold it into a small box, just big enough to contain the bubble insert and put a hanging hook on it. They'd cut down on paper and plastic, plus collectors would be happier. Much easier to save the boxes, just fold 'em down.

I'd be most happy with a packaging that is resealable... either a box, or a Japan style card. (where you can cut the tape and slide the card out.)

It's also really nice when they can stack neatly... and stand up by themselves for display.

Sorry guys, my memory is faulty. The Canadian cards are the same size as the US ones but they're tri-lingual with a single line of a bio on the back in each language. I thought they were the smaller ones because I remember how surprised I was the first time I saw them in the store. I guess they're smaller than previous lines already, but still not as small as the EU cards.

That's ok, thanks for the heads up

Still pretty odd that only Europe has the smaller card.

Yes! I would love the japan styled card, where i can throw away the bubble but save the card without damaging it.

Wow, I didn't even think about that notion. Yeah, that's a great option, too. Toss the plastic and walk away with a pristine card.
