About: In this video I talk about the 1996 Bandai Carddass Pokémon cards. These are the first-ever Pokémon cards to be released. I explain everything from their overall design to the lore behind them.

Looks like you’ve become the pokemon investigator/ historian! Good! Don’t think there’s a channel specifically for this

[@KR-AR12]

This video needed to be made I couldn't find a decent video explaining these cards. Awesome work

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Thank you so much!

[@tealblackwhiteteal]

really appreciate this video! recently super intrigued by these cards, especially the unique sugimori art so many of them have. cheers!

[@gavin7912]

Thanks for this incredibly informative video!

[@MaxMaxCity]

Wow!!!!!! Absolutely incredible video, very informative, and top tier editing!

[@michelgellad8666]

Learning so much man! Highly appreciate your videos!!!

[@sleevenocardbehind]

I highly appreciate you watching! Thank you

[@Sniggle90]

Awesome video! Part of me really wants to start collecting these, but there's too many others I want for my collection. I got caught up on the modern alt arts being so pretty/cool that vintage fell to the wayside.

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Yea, I fell you there. Especially with making these videos. I’ll get obsessed with a new category of cards every week

[@Sniggle90]

@@sleevenocardbehind You got me collecting the break cards after one of your mini-collection videos. I didn't even want to collect them and here I am lol it's a virus

[@flixiconSJA]

Awesome video man. Nice job.

[@khacnghiemduong3506]

thank you. i watched your video 3 times

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Wow! Thank you!!

[@thehungrymonk17]

Nice vid! Please do another video for the carddass 2 set :)

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Coming soon!

[@olmovandenakker3771]

@@sleevenocardbehind When??? Also looking forward to that one!

[@Taig]

those town map cards are great, they're a smaller version of the town map posters that came with the red / blue / green / yellow games in japan i think

[@DamaCollectsCards]

good quality, informative, and insightful on a beautiful series of cards that I personally don't think get enough attention. Great video man.

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Thank you so much for watching! I love these cards

[@gaetanoesposito7577]

Thank you so much for this video! Could you make a video for the third and fourth series of the cardass too? I’ll really appreciate it :)

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching

[@warrenlauren]

I absolutely need the Mew!

[@irvinanchondo8624]

Idk if it was intentional but he calls it "baddass" cards in the beginning 😆 I found it funny

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Well I’m not wrong

[@EddricVanguard]

yes

[@plattyppus]

Ok hear me out though. Couldnt carddass be interpreted as カード出す? Kaado(card) Dasu(to put out)? Thats what i always assumed. I never looked it up, but i do speak Japanese. I hope you'll do a follow-up video of the banpresto set from 1997!

[@gsabella4]

Man, i think i was just sold some Fake Bandai cards. Is there any definitive ways to tell?

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Do you want to join my discord and show me some pictures? We can compare and have a look

[@porscheguy]

isnt topsun the 1st pokemon set???

[@sleevenocardbehind]

Topsun was released in 1997

[@porscheguy]

@@sleevenocardbehind oh okay, i wonder why PSA puts 1995 on the slabs?? they made a mistake and just kept with it?

[@sleevenocardbehind]

@@porscheguy They recently corrected the slab labels and now put 1997
