I’m curious too, as the contents are wholly innocuous. I’ve never seen a Google doc get taken down for a violation either.
Not sure what happened, but the original link is working again haha

This is kinda weird… It’s not from the Hoenn dex, and it’s not listed on the “Top” or Title style 3D cards. Just bringing it to yall’s attention.

Weird. I wasn’t aware of the green-border ADV VS cards getting a 3D reprint. The green-border set was a second ADV set, mostly based on Hoenn dex pokemon, but there were a few Generation IV pokemon included in the set due to their introduction in the Lucario and the Mystery of Mew movie. This set looks like it might be a lot rarer, at least on Ebay US—haven’t looked on Mercari Japan yet. I’ll look into it when I have more time, but thanks for pointing this card out.
I was able to find one other no-number, green-border 3D reprint card while quickly looking through Ebay.
@Captain_Corsola Do you happen to know much about this set or have some of them?

@bbobrob There should only be four of these no number 3D variants, the Lucario, Bonsly, Mime Jr, and Weavile. I’ll get some pictures later today from my binder. Although these four have the art from the green border set, I think they were part of the 3D Pink Border set since they have similar backs. From my experience, they are a bit harder to find than the pink border 3D variants, so maybe they were secret rares or something from the 2nd 3D set

Thanks for the information! The card design/layout is really similar to the pink-border 3D variants, so I think you’re right that they’re probably part of the same set. It’s all kind of remiscent of the green-border holo cards, which are also four in number and missing a set number (which I also presume to mean they were like the secret rares of the set). I’ll have to change up the order of the sets in my article with this new information. Thanks again for the insights! 
(And the pictures!)

Any time, I love having an excuse to go to my storage unit haha. I had never paid attention to how these don’t match the green border on the back and with the no number. Keep me updated if you ever find anything else out. Would be pretty cool if these were secret rares

I’ve been collecting these 3D cards as well. To me, they are the peak of rarety and pretty amazing
Pink border VS cards << 3D pink border VS cards << 3D non VS (single pokemon) cards, which is the ultimate.
But here’s what I finally noticed about the backs. The backside all came originally with an identical but non3D sticker. That’s why when you see sellers listing these, the discerning ones will specify “未剝” meaning “unpeeled.” Once that sticker is removed, then the normal back shows.
To me, the unpeeled ones are way rarer than the peeled, and have been stockpiling on them. Well, now i guess the secret’s out

Welcome to the fourum!
These cards are pretty cool, awesome to learn about this as a casual browser

I found out about the unpeeled cards way too late, luckily I had a bunch already thinking they were just a different type of the same card. Do you happen to know if the unpeeled cards were also a thing for the other 3D Top Seika cards (Pink and Green border) or just the non-VS ones?

I did make a point to check the vs 3D ones with 2 pokemon (attacking/defending) on the front, but i have never come across one with the sticker back.
And those are way more common than the single pokemon 3D cards.
So im like 99% sure that’s peelable feature is only limited to the single pokemon 3D cards.
People dont even notice that sticker back distinction bc most of the time, people assume the front/back photos are the same photo for just the front side, bc they’re almost identical

These are the crown jewels of my collection. The gengar one is like almost impossible to find 99% of times, peeled or unpeeled.

i think you have all of the single pokemon 3d cards out there, right? i can’t find anything that you don’t have.
