The Giant Pokémon non-TCG Identification Thread

https://jp.mercari.com/item/m49659154978
Not really sure what I bought here and was hoping for a second set of eyes. Can’t find anymore, came across them when searching kanji for encyclopedia (zukan, but kanji not hira/katakana)

Looks like something that pairs with some sort of reader, like a pokedex. It looks like the left side of the reader would just have some colored cellophane to filter out all the noisy lines to reveal the green text.

I have looked through this whole thread and have not found anything like this. Does anyone have any information on this card?

Just use this article for any and all Carddass anime card identification.

Cheers!

Hey guys, i first saw one of these stickers very recently in a pwcc auction and now I discovered there are many of these from the same year with a similiar format. Although they are non-tcg they seem to have been released somehow related to the japanese tcg in 2005. Does anyone have info on the release of these? Were they released within tcg products, given in pokemon centers, etc…

Any information would be great especially on the Sealdass PataPata was a very scarce printing and little to no information there’s some on ebay but none like this variant. My understanding is this is the only one I have ever seen and personally own the Movie version Promo Mewtwo Strikes Back/Pikachus Summer Vacation No.1 Also, I believe this folding card was printed in 2007 but showcases 1998 release date this is a guess on my part any information would be great. I believe highlighting the first two movies so I do hope to have this as a PoP 1 someday with PSA grading.
Any information would be greatly appreciated. I will also post my other rare niche items but this is an actual card which is more relevant to most people none the less Non TCG. official information Github writeup or official to get PSA census added.

Another Rare item that PSA grading Oversize/Pack denied grading initially the booster back was denied because there was gum inside. I opened the pack and found a two card cellophane pack with Blastoise/Groudon inside. I have had success with BGS grading the cards but I would like any information regarding the clear data cards official information Github writeup or official to get PSA census added.

Pokemon Sticker Sheets Charizard Japanese EX Promo and Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution No companies grade these yet and very little information more under rated products very few people talk about except me and people on this thread any additional information would be helpful and informative.

Hey! This is from the 2007 Bandai Pokemon Seal Candy Movie Special and it is the 1998 Movie Double Seal (#01). This is what I have written in my personal guide:
This Bandai set released in June 2007 celebrated the 10th anniversary of the first Pokémon movie by releasing 12 double seals with candy. The seals featured the first 10 Pokémon movies until The Rise of Darkrai (plus 2 special seals, no.11 and no.12, that just featured Pokemon and characters from gen 4). This double seal featuring Mewtwo is the no.01 in this set, as it focuses on the 1998 Mewtwo Strikes Back movie. These seals do not fit into normal size toploaders even if separated into two.

Based on personal ezperience these are easier to find than the patapata, since i’ve seen this on sale many times and yet i have been searching for certain patapata for years without luck. Here are some photos:

This one i had seen the cards many time but never found any info on the brand, the product, the year, etc till i saw one of these packs a short time ago. Use google photo translate for the photos cause the pack itself is one of the best sources of info about this product.

Man you have no idea how many days upon weeks of research I have done on this with no avail. Thanks so much well PataPata you can find the Mew one but its the 4 card variant and I don’t think they grade those as of yet but I could be mistaken I would lean towards BGS or CGC because it would need an XXL Case/Slab. Regarding google translate how do I do that take an image of the pack on my phone? I only have the Tomy Data Card Pack not the Double Seal Candy Pack where did you find the Double Seal packs I would be very interested eBay or Yahoo Japan? So how long ago did you packs of these and how many? I did just check ebay quickly and wow some guy sold quite a few packs for very cheap someone got a deal big time on that with an open box I don’t think he knew the value.





These two I graded and sold lost money of a few of them a year or two ago PataPata Ones never graded only authenticated bad move on my part! If they dont assign a grade not always worth it unless its possible to add a registry/census.

You just save an image in your gallery and in the google translate site you choose images. Here is an example:




And on the question of where, for most jap non-tcg is always best to use yahoo and mercari. On ebay most things are priced 4 times their value and scam people who dont know

Yeah been using Yahoo for a little while now I use Zenmarket. Yeah the translator is very helpful I will have to use that now. Much appreciated a buddy of mine actually mentioned it and I never did it now I see what he meant :joy: maybe PSA will accept for grading the Clear Data Card Pack Now? This is pretty helpful BGS has graded the cards for years now as many examples exist. Here is an example from the 2000’s

But it seems bgs doesnt even know what it is, or they would have named it Tomy Pokemon Double Card or something like that. They dont wven know the brand and have it dated 2002 when its 2006 :face_exhaling: Thats why i dont like grading companies…

Yes agreed I noticed mislabeling it on a few other niche items as well. Typically it doesn’t add much value if any to these obscure cards. Although, other times its worth it to grade

I actually didn’t know about this translate feature either. Seems like it’ll be really useful—thanks for sharing!

LINK ROT!

A terrible thing where information gets LOST over time because external sources for images or information become unavailable

This great guide by @Quuador suffered from most of the images being broken like this:

https://i.postimg.cc/4dhcg04Z/DSC01944.jpg

because this i.postimg.cc site apparently no longer exists

but I found the original images on the wayback machine and manually restored all the images.

http://web.archive.org/web/20201226092359/https://i.postimg.cc/4dhcg04Z/DSC01944.jpg

This is the sad consequence of most of relying on external images for as long as we did. And why you might see me randomly edit your post to reupload something from imgur if I come across it :muscle:
