Orannge's identification thread (new items added!)

[orannge]

Dear Fellow Collectors,

Recently, I’ve purchased quite a few cards, stickers, and non-TCG collectibles, many are still on their way to me. Unfortunately, I’m struggling to find information on many of them, or at least I can’t completely identify them. Adding to the challenge, I currently have limited time for cataloging and organizing my collection, as I’ve recently met a wonderful new girlfriend who I’m happily spending my time with.

I’d be thrilled if you could help me identify some of these items.

I’ll keep updating and adding to this post regularly.

Thanks so much for your help!

Did you have a look at the giant non-tcg identification thread by @quuador? You can first try and cross check some of your items in your list and you may be able to find info on them from the giant thread. You can therefore refine your list much shorter for the ones that are not identified.

The Giant Pokémon non-TCG Identification Thread

Although I primarily make this because I had a few questions myself, I figured I’d make one general thread. The purpose of this thread is to post anything and everything about non-TCG cards and stickers that might help identify their producer and perhaps other information you’d want to know. I will also include cards I already know the producers and information about for completeness sake, and to perhaps help others who come across this thread in the future. I will add useful links where appl…

Cheers!

[orannge]

Thanks for the reply! I’m familiar with the thread and will double-check it. However, from former research I think some items may not have been mentioned. This thread here serves a dual purpose of helping me keep track of the items I need to look up and gathering information of people willing to share their knowledge.

[bbobrob]

Love this thread idea!

I don’t know how much detail you’d like regarding the items, but I can maybe add some limited information for some.

004 - These are called patchins. There are a ton of these, but I’m not sure if it’d be easy to track down a particular release date for these. I guess these were made by Media Factory, based on the first patchin pack I found when searching the term? Not sure if another company took over or came before them>

Example pack:

005 - Created by Bandai, probably in 1998 (see image below). These came out of a gachapon machine. Here is the whole sticker sheet that the Starmie came from, and the little “seal book” that the sheet could be found in. The title of the item can be roughly translated into “New Pokemon Big Encyclopedia” or “New Pokemon Big Pokedex.”

There is actually an earlier released version, likely around 1997? The seal books are labeled as 1995, but similar to the Topsun controversy, they were likely not released in 1995. I actually have a single Starmie sitting at Buyee for the earlier version, but the sticker isn’t complete (the border is missing). The earlier version has the Red/Green sprite of the pokemon on the back. I can take a better picture of it when I have it in hand.

010 - Looks like it came from a SV minitin? Probably shouldn’t be too hard to track down which minitin.

013 - I think these have generally been called GB Pocket cards or GBA Card Collection or something? There are a lot of different variations of these small cards/minisquares though, so I don’t know which set this particular one belongs to. I also tried to look at some boxes available on Mercari, and it doesn’t seem to be clear what company produces them. (Nevermind, I found an article talking about them—there’s more information here)

014 - I think this is just a Korean pan/bread seal/sticker. I have a Hoppip one sitting at Buyee too Not sure what company or what year it was produced.

015 - I only know these are some lenticular produced by Meiji.

016 - The translation for the item looks like it’s called “Big Sticker.” Company is Nagatanien. Maybe you can find some more information that way?

018 - You can find more information about the set here. The site linked here is run by @nidokingdom, who is just generally very knowledgeable about these vintage Pokemon items (I know he knows what a few others you have here should be). He can probably help identify a good amount.

019 - Some more information from the stickerpedia.

021 - Think these are sealdass cards/stickers by Bandai. I don’t much about sets for these, and I guess the year is at the bottom.

[orannge]

Thank you for sharing all this amazing information. I will update the OP as soon as I have access to my laptop, it’s annoying via mobile.

I like all the details you mentioned and I will check the links you provided for further information.

It always fascinates me how many there is to learn and to know about the different merchandise items.

[coil]

9 - Japan Post stamps

12 - B-Side Label sticker; you can get all if not nearly all of them on the Pokecen site still. B-Side Label appears to be a company specializing in knickknacks like stickers.

[orannge]

Thank you. The article on the stamps is very much appreciated.

[orannge]

Updated the OP.

005, 009, 012, 013, 018 and 019 could be identified by @bbobrob and @coil . Thank you!

I also added some information provided by both users to the OP.

Added 022, seems to be part of a 365 day calender.

New items added:

023 - Russian poker card?

024

[bbobrob]

The Russian one might be an unlicensed product (kind of gives off that vibe and didn’t see copyright info).

The second one is from Burger King. I did a cursory search, and it looks like they were distributed in 1999? But you should be able to find more complete data on this.

[quuador]

@bbobrob is correct, 024 is indeed a BurgerKing PokéTrivia card (an unperforated version).

2. Burger King cards - perforated vs unperforated

021 is from the Bandai Sealdass 1997 series 1 sticker set (no. 9). Here is the full set:

PS: I’m curious about 022 as well, since I got a Seviper from the same calendar by the looks of it.

Greetz,

[Julius19]

001 I believe is from Taiwan, like a phone card or something like that, 002 and 006 are Nagatanien stickers, 003 is bootleg, 007 is meiji hyperchip, 008 is a sticker for an old album from a brand called Kill Time Communication (the album was pink and had mewteo on its cover), 014 is indeed korean, 017 is Nagatanien too, 020 poster is banpresto (bandai),

[orannge]

Thx so much guys, will reply after work.

I was chatting with @joponnes about this, but I think us species collectors may all be buying species lots off the same seller I recently just bought a lot of Hoppip line items that had weird calendar items and some newspaper cutouts similar to the one you posted in your Seviper non-TCG post:

And I just went back and looked at the seller’s listings, and they still have some species lots with the same calendar piece as the Seviper and Starmie here (and some with similar newspaper cutouts).

This hero has been supplying species collectors with some nice niche items for maybe a couple of years now, at least!

[bbobrob]

Okay, I used my very mediocre Mandarin skills (meaning I had to look up a bunch of characters), but I think 001 says “Flying Pikachu Project” in the bubble letters. The EasyCard is a convenience card that’s used in Taiwan for a number of things (often used for public transportation, but you can use it at some vendors too, like convenience stores).

Okay, found some more sources for things. Here’s CGC’s gradeable Traditional Chinese EasyCards, where you’ll see the “Flying Pikachu Project” card. And here’s a listing for another Pokemon-themed EasyCard from Taiwan.

Edit: Forgot to opine on 026. I think 026 is likely an unlicensed product. Most recent Pokemon products manufactured in South America are unlicensed. Some of them do look very good though, so I still pick some up here and there, but they are not official.

[orannge]

@bbobrob @quuador @Julius19
Thanks so much everyone for the tons of information. Especially on the EasyCard and the Burger King card.

I updated the OP and moved some items to the identified section.

Added another one:

027 – Televikun Poker Card, year?, back?

029 (seller labeled it “Meiji Super Change Card 3D”)

Added another one, maybe someone knows something?
