I’m not a graded collector at all, but will probably grade them IF someday I sell my collection :laughing: But I would find it more fun to grade the whole sheets without cutting them

i mean i am not against not grading although as myself some things i grade and some not. those do look delicate. i am collecting them graded but curiosity how do you keep them and in what sleeves?

i guess if they are stamp size you can buy like an empty stamp album or such. used to collect stamps when i was younger.

One of my obsessions is trying to buy binder pages that fit exactly some of my items and in a shop in France I found some small binder pages that find exactly jumbo sized cards and exactly that uncut sheet set. But in the future I’ll probably either grade the set uncut OR frame the set :slight_smile:

Is this the type of snack card they won’t grade? I just picked this up.

Aren’t these zukan stickers older? The box and the sticker both say 1995 and it has the pixelated proto art.

I think this is similar to the Topsun cards situation, they say 1995 but they were released later, I might have the gashapon insert with the actual release year on these I’ll check :smiley:

Thanks! I think it might be 1996 for Red Green because the Ash card is translated as “Red - The main character of this game is competing with his rival Green to see who can Pokédex first”. There’s also a Pokédex from 1996 that looks the same design style as the case these are in. This could still possibly make them the first stickers. It doesn’t say the release months of the Bandai snack stickers in 1996 on the Stickerpedia timeline.

There is also this bug catcher and Team Rocket sticker in the set which might help identify the timing. Is this potentially the first card/sticker with Team Rocket in it?

Pulled this from Bulbapedia as well.

It’s 1996 release but I don’t know how to tell the exact release date. Probably the scanner code numbers at the bottom.

Ahhh yes I was about to send you that exact advert board because I have it in my collection :laughing:
Yes so the set is from 1996, because there’s a much different set that came out in 1997 also :stuck_out_tongue:
To find date on such items the best is to find the bandai catalog, I only have the 1997 catalog unfortunately

Based on the upc code it is after Carddass Part 2. I can’t pinpoint beyond that at this point. These are cool stickers but I’m assuming they are basically worthless to get graded since they aren’t holos?

I have no idea, I don’t care about grading, but at the moment these probably can’t be graded (yet)
