Hello hello PokéManiacs. Does anybody know anything about the different vintage Bandai Carddass series?
I’ve recently purchased some Pokémon Carddass Bandai cards and I’m having a hard time finding any complete discriptions of all the different sets? As far as I’ve figured out there were two different sets featuring the 151 first Pokémon (with some stunning Sugimori artwork), like this card
But then there are different cards featuring images from the anime like this one, going at least as far as I know up until the Gold & Silver era.
Bandai has a lot of sets. Their first set is the red green 1996 set. I’m not in a position to post images, but I’m sure you can google the names and they’ll pop up or ask me later and I’ll put images in here. The red/green ‘96 set is considered part 1/2
The next set they have is the 1997 bandai carddass set considered part 3/4. This is the set with your first link.
The 1998-1999 and 2000 anime sets came next. I’m not sure if they had parts 5-7 on them or not. I think they might have separated this series like they have for other series. Either way there are a lot of cards in the anime set as there’s 8 parts in the ‘98-‘99 sets and I think 1 in the 2000 set.
You also have sealdass sets from ‘97-‘99 (maybe even up to 2000) There are many different parts to these, and I’m not as well versed in the sealdass sets.
There’s a bandai mini sets made in ‘97. I believe there’s one other set made by bandai from the original era, but I can’t recall if it’s bandai or a different company.
Banpresto also made some sets, I’m not sure if they’re affiliated with bandai or not, but there would be a lot more if they are.
