1996 Pokemon Japanese Bandai Carddass Vending Prism Charizard #6 PSA 9

Graded PSA 9 Mint, an attractive high grade example with impressive presentation. Bandai's Japanese Carddass Pokemon cards belong to the franchise's earliest collectible card releases and predate the launch of the English Pokemon TCG. Distributed through vending machines, the Carddass series developed its own visual identity and numbering separate from the trading card game produced by Media Factory. Early prism cards featuring major characters such as Charizard are particularly notable as artifacts from Pokemon's formative years in Japan.
