Hello! I’m trying to collect & scan all the Japanese set flyers. I’m trying to recover all the old set artwork and archive them in a way for everyone to enjoy. Here are the ones I’ve scanned so far.

Thanks for the thread. PCG era had some really gorgeous artworks. Will keep am eye out and hopefully you can get the rest of them to be able to have this thread complete.
A cool idea to archive these—the art is really sweet! I remember seeing a Japanese Neo Genesis/Gold, Silver, to a New World storefront poster on Ebay before and thought it looked neat. I don’t know if these are in the right price range or if you’re looking to pick any up right now, but I see a Neo Revelations/Awakening Legends one and a Neo Destiny/Darkness, and to Light one up on Ebay (US).
A member here (@shizzlemetimbers) also has the poster for Neo Discovery/Crossing the Ruins posted for sale (for quite a pretty penny though). If you just want the scan for archiving sake, maybe you can reach out? He also has a thread with a pretty good picture of the Base Set poster (will post below)—not sure if it’s actually his or not.
Also just found this old E4 thread with storefront posters for the first three sets. They look pretty sweet! But I’m sure they’re incredibly hard to find these days.
Thanks! I do have a pretty large poster collection as well as the flyers Ive scanned above. I do have all the Neo posters (no flyers of them yet). Scanning them will be much harder since they are 10x larger than the flyers. Maybe I should include them in this thread too.
Ah, oops, I thought the flyers were the posters I was wondering how you got all the folds out of the scan, thinking you were just good at editing or something. And it hadn’t even entered my head that you’d need some specialized scanning (or digital stitching?) to get a poster as big as that scanned.
Were the flyers also storefront displays, or did they come from magazines or with the cases of booster boxes?
(The posters would be pretty cool to see too, if you find a way to digitalize them!)
