Its bootleg, a copy of the original licensed one whose only difference is the brand, called Salo. Basically any thing coming from peru and labeled from 2018-2024 is 99.99% likely bootleg. Most licensed stuff from peru and latin america are from the early age (1999-2005) and not likely found on ebay

Thank you. Is there a resource which lists the licensed South American releases?

Besides that, I received my copy of the poker card I posted above and can now upload its back. Does anyone know the year of the release?

The poker card is from a deck released in the January 1999 “Kindergarten Magazine” issue. About the licensed latin american releases, there is no place that has all info. Latin american releases, along with south asian and chinese, are probably some of the hardest to find info on. Usually info is on youtube videos as well as instagram and facebook accounts, with the local collectors being the ones who truly know. If you want i could try to make a list of the things i know from latin america.

Thank you so much for sharing your great knowledge. I will update the original post (OP) as soon as I return home from my weekend trip.

Regarding the Latin American releases, I believe this could be an invaluable resource for all collectors, especially for the highly dedicated ones, like those here on e4. If you could find the time, it would be an immense help for all of us.

So, here are some more items I would love to get some info on:

I would love to get more infos on the series of this sticker:

Korean Version Korea Pokemon Bread Sticker 2 | eBay

It is relevant, because I have item 14 still unidentified. The only info we got so far is, that those are Korean bread stickers. Does anyone know more about it?

And maybe anyone has more infos on the other unidentified items, too?

Thank you! :heart_eyes:

For #2 and #4, I don’t know if these stickers would have a set name, as they were probably a billion stickers made when Pokemon was popular that probably don’t necessarily belong to a traditional “set.” I can say that before the No. 48 and No. 46, the words say “variety seal” (or variety stickers). Perhaps that is good enough? For No. 48, the words under it (in black and white) say “count seals” and No. 46 says “special move seal 2.”

#43 is definitely by Sapporo Ichiban (company). I think it’s one of their noodle sticker sets, but not sure which one, as they released a few (and are still releasing to this day, I think).

#44 and #45 are called Meiji ice cream stickers (found this searching around on Mercari Japan). They were also apparently individual lottery tickets for winning a prize (?), and you could flip over the things on the back to reveal if you won? (Also read this on a Mercari Japan listing, and if you Google translate one of the backs, it says something along those lines).

For #46, the words read “Pokemon Stadium.” There was a Stadium and Stadium 2 set. The boxes containing the cards also call them N64 cards (see below). Not sure what company made them (I would guess Kyodo, since they very much resemble the other mini cards, but no evidence to support this).

I was just starting to write about #43 and #45 when you made your post but you were a lot more comprehensive than i would have ever been :smile: i’m still sour about the meiji ice cream stickers since they look really great and feature basically every evolution line in gen 1 except apparently grimer and muk

I updated the OP. It’s always amazing how much knowledge is out there and how much still needs to be gathered. I absolutely love learning more about the history of the franchise and am fascinated by how multifaceted it is.

The ice cream stickers really look amazing. It’s very strange, though, that they didn’t include Muk or Grimer. Is this something you deduced or have confirmation on? Maybe they looked too much like a melting ice cream scoop. Hahaha :smiley:

@joponnes Ah, yeah, I would’ve assumed they had made the stickers for all 151 pokemon :sweat_smile: A shame there isn’t any slime!

@orannge I agree! It’s always fun to look into these items :slightly_smiling_face: I can somewhat navigate looking for items since I had taken some basic Japanese in high school, so I at least somewhat understand what keywords to look for or how to search some things. But my knowledge has still much room to grow! As you can probably tell, the years of release seem to be the hardest to pin down.

Well i guess i can’t be 100% sure but as i bump into the set relatively often and other stickers or merch with same design are quite easy to find i’m quite condident grimer and muk are rarther non-existent than i would have missed them during all my searches

Dear fellow collectors of odd Pokémon items! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I added those two beauties to my collection and have no idea where they stem from, maybe you could help out here?

First is a little very thin silver paper disc which was sold as “Pokemon Fun Mini Menko Japanese Rare Limited Nintendo Japan F/S”. I did some searching, but only ended up at the same ebay seller who has much more of them.

Nr. 50:



The second one is also a very thin silver paper disc, but this time with a printed back. The ebay auction text read “Menko No.121 Nintendo Very Rare Japanese F/S-” I also found another auction that read “Pokémon Paper Ginpika Medal Yoochien Appendix Japanese Nintendo 16209”.

Just confirming what @bbobrob said about the Mini GB cards. They are indeed from Kyodo. I actually worked with a guy named Galactic Muffin on these and he put up a site: GB Pocket Card | Pokemon Collectors Wiki | Fandom

The latest little paper circles could be from magazine appendices/supplements. I don’t know which magazine or from what year, but I think there are a number of these little punch-out things available. I have a couple from my Hoppip/Skiploom/Jumpluff collection (different design, but kind of similar item—little paper punchout thing with not that much information on any individual item, and one has the little rock-paper-scissors icons too).
