001: [YEAR?] – EasyCard (Taiwan)
- @bbobrob :
- [year?]
- 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).
Here’s CGC’s gradeable Traditional Chinese EasyCards, where you’ll see the “Flying Pikachu Project” card. And adhere’s a listing for another Pokemon-themed EasyCard from Taiwan.
002: [YEAR?] – Nagatanien Variety Stickers No. 48: Count Seals
- @Julius19 : Nagatanien stickers
- @bbobrob : "I don’t know if these stickers would have a set name, as they were probably a billion stickers made when Pokemon was popular that probably don’t necessarily belong to a traditional “set.” I can say that before the No. 48 and No. 46, the words say “variety seal” (or variety stickers). Perhaps that is good enough? For No. 48, the words under it (in black and white) say “count seals” and No. 46 says “special move seal 2.”
004: [YEAR?] – [Media Factory Patchins?]
- Nr on patchin: PID 054 3 (relevance?)
- @bbobrob : called “patchins”, guess: made by Media Factory based on company on a random pack (see pictures below)
006: [YEAR?] – Nagatanien Variety Stickers No. 46: Special Move Seals 2
- @Julius19 : Nagatanien stickers
- @bbobrob : "I don’t know if these stickers would have a set name, as they were probably a billion stickers made when Pokemon was popular that probably don’t necessarily belong to a traditional “set.” I can say that before the No. 48 and No. 46, the words say “variety seal” (or variety stickers).

013: [YEAR?] - GB Pocket Card: Anime Collection (by Kyodo)
- identified by @bbobrob : (link), came within a plastic capsule that either contained Trading cards or a plastic toy (Gameboy)

044: [YEAR?] – Meiji Ice Cream Stickers (Golden Starmie)
- @bbobrob : “Called Meiji ice cream stickers (found this searching around on Mercari Japan). They were also apparently individual lottery tickets for winning a prize (?), and you could flip over the things on the back to reveal if you won? (Also read this on a Mercari Japan listing, and if you Google translate one of the backs, it says something along those lines).”
045: [YEAR?] – Meiji Ice Cream Stickers (Misty, Staryu, Starmie)
- @bbobrob : “Called Meiji ice cream stickers (found this searching around on Mercari Japan). They were also apparently individual lottery tickets for winning a prize (?), and you could flip over the things on the back to reveal if you won?

- link
- @bbobrob : "the words read “Pokemon Stadium.” There was a Stadium and Stadium 2 set. The boxes containing the cards also call them N64 cards (see below). Not sure what company made them (I would guess Kyodo, since they very much resemble the other mini cards, but no evidence to support this).

Seller provided those info, can anybody confirm? [POKEMON: STARMIE, COUNTRY: CHILE, EDITORIAL: ZERO PUBLISHING, YEAR: 2024, BRINGS: STICKERH, SIZE: 5 x 7 cm]

042: 08-1996 – Batomen chip from Coro Coro Magazine
identified by:
@DittoDan : “The first part of this set was released on September 20, 1996 (per the August 1996 edition of Coro Coro Magazine), presumably any subsequent parts to complete the set were also released in the same year.”

This sticker also exists in a lager version:
054p: 06-1998 - Televi-kun Appendix
identified by:
@bbobrob: “the stuff at the bottom reads “Televi-kun 6gatsu-gou furoku.” “Televi-kun” is a magazine, “6gatsu-gou” refers to a June issue (?), and “furoku” means appendix or supplement. So it seems to be another magazine supplement, narrowed down to some June issue of Televi-kun?”
@Captain_Corsola : “I can confirm it’s the June issue of Televi-kun. I don’t think I have the magazine itself, but I do have the appendix that comes with that Gengar/Starmie card.”
PSA Pop Report
056: 1999 - Taiwanease Poker Bootleg
Some cards have: “Made in Taiwan”, Copyright information is missing
Identified by @bbobrob: “Definitely bootleg—don’t know from where. The side that says “1999” is followed by “calendar,” and you can find the actual calendar just looking up Pokemon 1999 calendar. As with most bootlegs of that era, they just copy-paste art from different sources.”
Best,
orannge
Not sure what company or what year it was produced.
The article on the stamps is very much appreciated.
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:
