Trying to figure out a little about the cards I have

Trying to figure out a value of these cards or even anything about them . Can’t find them anywhere not the holo ones that I have anyway




They’re bootleg

how do you know that? Look pretty legit to me . I also remember getting them out of a pack . I collected Pokemon cards back in the 90s

Also I’ve seen the cards on eBay same exact ones just not holographic .

Pretty sure its the right artwork, but the ones you have are likely fake due to the holofoil pattern not existing.

Everything about them are bootleg. The foil is wrong and covers the entire card which is incorrect for the real versions of these cards which are not even available as foil cards. The corners are cut incorrect from the real version. There is no copyright information.

Fake cards can come out of fake packs. Some mid era cards are easy to tell they are fake due to larger energy symbols, but people think they are real just because they opened a wrapper that said Pokémon on it.

So I wouldn’t confirm authenticity just because it was opened from a pack

Interesting well it’s def Surprising they’d come in a Pokemon card pack from 1998.

Surprising . Pretty sure I got it out of a Pokemon pack in like 97-98 but thanks

So I guess what you are saying is they have 0 value :joy:

Pretty much. Probably not what youre expecting, but even if they were authentic its still kind of niche. Id keep them as a memory though for nostalgia of just having them.

These have been posted on the forum a few times if you search “pocket monster anime collection” you may find some more information if you are still interested.

There is also a nice thread about the real ones which eievui already linked above

Unfortunately there have been instances where people have managed to acquire some of these bootlegs from actual vending machines. The ones in those examples were really good bootlegs where the differences are very minor. Very sorry that your cards are not legit. The Bandai Carddass anime cards are truly very notorious as bootlegs.

Cheers!
