Two Obscure Japanese Charizards - Any Info?

General

I just found the two cards pictured in a recent collection purchase and haven’t been able to find any information online about them. Just curious if anyone here knows what they are/where they came from? Thanks y’all!

Sorry I’m not able to help you, just wanted to say I love the Diglett illustration. Gives me Natta Wake vibes. I’d guess it’s a Himeno artwork.

…the Zards are ok too I guess :wink:

mmmmh the first card looks like something out of a juice box or anyway something with that sort of release. The second one looking at the back reminds me of other cards with that kind of a back that were posted in a couple of threads here, but no one could ever find infos on how they ere released/what’s their set name (the fact that there’s no copyright might indicate that it’s possibly fake???)

For the second card some info was given here: www.elitefourum.com/t/can-someone-help-me-out-here-with-these-things/24944/1 Although we still don’t know how the card game is called or when it was released unfortunately.

Thanks for the link, good read. So if @burpies was right (and I have no reason to assume otherwise), the Diglett art comes from this individual named Yasuhiro Narita. Just repeating it here to prevent any misinformation. Not quite Himeno, but to me the resemblance is there :wink:

Thanks a bunch, that’s really helpful. So it seems like it’s almost certainly not an authentic card? That’s a bit disappointing, but it’s still a neat piece with the unique artwork/holo pattern!
