The full offer is listed below for your review.
This is absolutely the most in-depth, complete Ultimate Combat! collection ever assembled anywhere!
The ULTIMATE Ultimate Combat! CCG Collection – over 183,720 cards and MORE
You don’t get just cards, you get everything.
A complete ready to go collection of everything
ever made for Ultimate Combat! and more.
If you own a martial arts school this collection is a gold mine for you. By retail selling this collection at your school you could easily get 3, 4, or even TEN TIMES the value for which this collection is being offered.
Imagine tripling, quadrupling, or even getting TEN times your investment back!
What could you do with that kind of money? Imagine being able to take those funds and do something you have always wanted to do but couldn’t do until now.
I have been selling these cards and the various associated products for the game in my own dojo for several years. Over those years I have made thousands of dollars in both product sales and promotional events such as hosting tournaments.
I was a major distributor of the game when it was being produced and had insider access to Dave Long and his team. I also spent years hunting and searching and collecting and creating everything you see below. But now it’s time for new projects and new adventures for me – that means you get a great bargain.
Here’s an inventory of everything you get. (Please note that I have not done a physical inventory of these cards in years. As they came in and as they went out I recorded the inventory so it is fairly accurate. But I cannot guarantee 100% that you will get, to the card, exactly what is listed – especially the individual card numbers. The packs are an estimate and may be off by five or 10 packs or so.)
Inventory of Limited Edition
Sealed Boxes
Starter Deck Boxes 50 (500 starter decks!)
Booster Pack Boxes 210 (7560 packs!)
Open Box (individual deck/pack count)
Starter Deck Packs 130
Booster Packs 684
That’s a total of 630 starter decks and 8244 booster packs!
Fighting Arts of China
Of course, a true collection of this game would not be complete without the expansion set, the Fighting Arts of China. This was actually a VERY small run of cards – less than half the size of the original game. These cards are extremely rare. You get at least 9 sealed, unopened boxes that are included with this set as well as individual (open) cards of every card in the expansion set.
Because these cards are so rare you could easily charge double (or even triple) the price of the Limited Edition boosters.
Inventory of Fighting Arts Cards
Booster Boxes 9 (324 packs)
Booster Packs 64 (sealed packs but not sealed boxes of packs)
Your Value So Far
Today’s CCG sets are retailing at about $8.00 per individual starter deck and about $4.00 per individual booster pack. This means the value of your collection so far is already $39,568. But wait, it gets better.
Individual Cards and Sleeves
Over the years I gathered up people’s cards from here and there, bought close outs, etc. Part of that included getting individual cards. That was a great help in getting students to buy the game in the first place. They knew they could trade and buy cards so they were willing to start a collection.
With your collection you get over 16,000 individual cards from both the Limited Edition and the Fighting Arts of China.
You also get 82 packs of sleeves (100 sleeves per pack).
Complete Sets of Cards
You get a 3-ring binder of a complete set of the limited-edition cards as well as a binder of the expansion set, Fighting Arts of China. This is a great display case for you. In fact, you get not just 1 complete set but 2 of the Limited Edition set so you could sell one or even make several more with the open, individual cards you get.
Chase Cards
Remember, Ultimate Combat! was the first game to come out with foil chase cards. The only way to get the foil cards was to buy the expansion set. There was only one foil card in each box of 36 packs. You get 17 individual chase cards with your collection.
The Bonus Chase Card
There were 9 foil chase cards available through retail sales. But they also had an ultra-rare chase card – Time Lapse – that you could only get by winning an Ultimate Combat! tournament.
You get not 1 but 3 Time Lapse chase cards included with your collection.
But wait, it gets better!
The Cards Are Only the Beginning – Uncut Sheets
Let me tell you about some of the more rare items. First are the uncut sheets of cards. I seriously doubt you’ll find any other CCG that has ever made available its uncut sheets of cards.
The expansion set, Fighting Arts of China, came out about a year after the Limited Edition. A very select few distributors received uncut sheets of cards. I was able to get a few when they were made available. Since then I have tracked down several more. What you get is…
Uncut Sheets
White Belt 1
Brown Belt 3
Black Belt 6
Gold Belt 13
BONUS Sheet: Rules Addendum from the China expansion set. This may be the ONLY uncut sheet of rules in existence today!
Autographed Cards and Misprints
Being a distributor, and personal friend of the game’s creator, Dave Long, I was able to get several cards autographed not just by Sensei Long but by the personalities on the cards themselves as well as some by the artist who created the graphics for the cards.
There are 34 autographed cards included with your collection. But wait, it gets better.
BONUS CARDS: You get 3 very rare card signatures – those of his wife, Valerie, son, Sean and daughter, Brittney. You will never find anything like this anywhere!
The Foundation Card, Experience, had a misprint on one run. The text in the upper right corner was not printed. You get 31 misprinted Experience cards.
There were a few Fighting Arts of China Gold Belt cards that have misprints. They are missing the Gold Foil Seal for the card. You get 12 of these cards.
Tatami Mats and Counters
Dave went all out when he created the game. He had SpellGround Tatami Mats created by Khalsa-Brain Games. Tatami mats are felt playing “boards”. You get 49 Tatami Mats in their original packaging.
He also had Reaper Miniatures create counters for the game. Your collection includes 2 counters still in their original packaging.
As an added bonus, you get my personally handcrafted belt counters that I sold in my own karate school. These are one-of-a-kind and not available anywhere for any price. I gave a set of these to Dave Long as a gift several years ago and he absolutely flipped over them.
Membership Card
As part of their promotion, the starter decks came with an application form to become a member in the Ultimate Combat! Federation. I sent in and received my membership card and still have it. It is included with this auction. You also get the welcome letter that Dave sent with each membership card. But wait – there’s MORE!
Prototype Cards
When Dave was just thinking about putting the game together and running tests to see if it was a viable business venture, he created prototype cards that were sent to game distributors and some of his close friends.
These cards are basically pressed cardboard stock with paper images printed on them. You get 3 open sets of prototype cards plus 3 sets of unopened, still shrink-wrapped sets of prototype cards with your collection. There are 60 cards in a prototype set.
League Rules and Jr. Rules
With all these cards, the Tatami Mats, the Reaper Counters, all the bonus materials you can instantly start your own league with tournaments. You even get the Official League Rules and instructions for hosting a league or tournament.
ADDED BONUS: This is an added bonus for marketing your cards in your school – that means an added income stream as well. With this information you can set up a league and have tournaments. If you choose, you could charge a membership fee for the league and a tournament fee. You could even award trophies for the winners.
Sales and Marketing Bonuses
As a distributor I received the sales and marketing literature and posters for the game. I saved many items and you get them with your collection. Included are:
- 6 wall posters
- 4 flyer posters
- Press Release about the expansion set
- League rules
- Jr. Rules
- Official FAQ
- Wholesale price list
- Tournament Director Letter
- Scrye articles (cut from magazines)
- Scrye magazines in their original plastic mailers with featured UC articles
- Reaper Miniatures flyer
Scrye Articles
Of course the game was reviewed and advertised in Scrye. You get 3 articles cut from Scrye magazine. Even better, you get 3 Scrye magazines in mint condition that include articles about Ultimate Combat! as well as 2 issues of Shadis magazine that had an article about Ultimate Combat! in them. But wait, there’s MORE!
Done-For-You Website
Included with your collection is a website built for you that lists
- All the features of the game
- The game rules (put together as a PDF file)
- The rare FAQ that was created by Dave Long and his crew
- Descriptions, photos, and shopping cart ready pages of all the materials for the game
- Trivia information about the game
- And more!
Please note: You get the HTML files. The website is not active, the shopping cart buttons themselves have been removed from the pages, and you will need to buy a domain name if you wish to use the HTML on a new website.
Imagine The Benefits
You basically have two options here. You can keep your collection for yourself as the ultimate Ultimate Combat! collection to enjoy and boast to all your friends about.
Or you can sell everything as retail at your martial arts school as well as online as I have done over the years. Imagine tripling, quadrupling, or even getting TEN times your investment back. What could you do with that kind of money? Imagine being able to take those funds and do something you have always wanted to do but couldn’t do until now.
But wait, it gets better.
The Final Bonus
Remember the chase cards? Remember the uncut sheets of cards? With your collection you get the ultimate bonus – an uncut sheet of the chase cards. That’s right. You read correctly. Dave Long gave this sheet to me personally. I doubt there is another one available on the market in the entire world.
This uncut sheet of Chase Cards comes framed and ready for display on your wall.

Total Potential Retail Value of Everything…

This is a great opportunity for one special Ultimate Combat! fan or entrepreneurial martial arts school owner. You will NEVER find a collection of this nature and this complete EVER AGAIN!
I am offering you this entire collection for
ONLY $5557.00 Best Offer!
Yes, less than 10% of the potential retail value.
CALL NOW! 1.888.725.8438
You should know: This offer is being presented on the IMAMS blog, Facebook fan page, Facebook Event, LinkedIn and through Twitter as well as being sent to you.
Only ONE person is going to get this unbelievable collection.
Will it be you or will you let this once in a lifetime opportunity slip past your fingers?
NOTICE: As stated above, the collect is huge and I have not counted it to the last card. The inventory list above is very close but is ONLY an estimate and if it is off it DOES NOT constitute a fraud on my part or a reason to return the collection.
Shipping and Handling
I will only ship to the USA and Canada.
My best estimate is that the entire collection weighs approximately 800 pounds and must be shipped by freight. The shipping cost will include a packaging & handling fee to get everything in shipping boxes.
This collection has to ship by a commercial freight carrier. The shipping cost will change based on the location.
You MUST give a physical address to ship to – no P.O. Box will be accepted.
