GB Pocket Card - Base Final Collection

1998 / Game Boy Pocket
Set Notes

The document that prints the total for this product is the retail display band Kyodo made for it, and that band lists 151 card types. Two marketplace specimens of it are now photographed, one lying flat beside a card grid and one square on and close where the numerals stand about forty five source pixels tall, each printing 4 box types, 151 card types and 5 body colours in its own three bullets, so the figure this page states is the count the product itself prints, read on two physical bands as well as the collector photograph this archive started from. All 151 identities are now documented from the leaflet and physical cards, so this checklist is complete and nothing is left unconfirmed. Number 48 was the last one open and it was added in the latest pass. Earlier rows here are read off the purple data back, which prints the number and the katakana name together in one band, and off a green badge front that prints the number on the card beside its own artwork, and 48 rests on that same front basis: a sorted complete run holding, photographed number side up, in which 047 Parasect, 048, 049 Venomoth, 050 Diglett and 051 Dugtrio sit in one uninterrupted row. What binds it to this product rather than to the 1997 lookalike line is the discriminator between them. This set prints a bare three digit number in a small dark circle at the top right of the front, and the lookalike prints its number in a yellow rectangular tag with a No. prefix, and the two never mix inside one holding. A purple data back for 48 has now been photographed and read at twelve times magnification, which supplies the corroboration this row was short of. It prints the katakana name, the insect Pokemon category line and the duel point value 60, in the same band layout every other back in this set prints, and it agrees with the row this page already publishes at that number. The printed number on that back is glare washed at the resolution available, so the number itself still rests on the circled front read and on the dex ordered grid the card sits in rather than on that band. The 118 and 119 pair is settled. 118 is Goldeen and 119 is Seaking, read three times across two lots and on both faces, so the run does not break from National Dex order there and the number already published for Seaking stands. Printed numbers are retained, and finish variants are not counted as extra identities.

The Kyodo retail display band for this product prints 151 card types and shows Pikachu #025, and a second physical band has now been read at the same figure lying beside a card grid, so the total rests on two marketplace specimens rather than one. The document this archive described as a leaflet is that display band, identified by its three bullet slots, its publisher block and its printed item number against the sibling bands read for the Anime Version, the Anime Best Scene Collection and both GBP Card Collections. The same band carries the maker binding record in full. Its publisher block names Kyodo of Sumida-ku, Tokyo, and the toy safety line beside it prints the item number 4947122970025, all thirteen digits read in one crop on a flat white ground, passing its own printed check digit and sharing its registrant with the Diamond and Pearl daishi. A second paper item packed with this product is a how to play insert, and no panel of it photographed so far carries a total, so the two documents are not one object. The 118 and 119 reads that were held as a possible numbering break are settled on three photographs across two lots, 118 Goldeen and 119 Seaking, so no row here is placed by National Dex order. 48 was the last number left open and it is now read on a front rather than filled from its neighbours, so every printed number in this set carries an identity, and a purple data back for it has since been photographed and read, printing the katakana name and the category line with the number itself glare washed. Number 126 is Magmar, and its plate prints the standard Japanese name, Buubaa. A variant spelling this archive carried briefly is withdrawn: the two photographs behind it are one physical card shot twice rather than two separate specimens, and a full resolution re-read of that card settles its name against a mark of the other kind printed at the same size on the same card. Finish variants remain incomplete.
