Description

This Japanese playing card features an SD (Super Deformed) character from the Gundam franchise, displaying a characteristic chibi art style. On the front, the card shows a young pilot with large green eyes, seated in front of an imposing, stylized Gundam mecha, recognizable by its white helmet, yellow and green details, and typical mechanical elements from the series. The illustration occupies most of the surface, with a blue and white background, evoking a futuristic or spatial environment.

The lower part of the card contains several information areas in Japanese, including red (+15) and blue (25-) numbers, as well as a clearly visible card number: 47. There is also the mention ???????9 (Support Card 9) on the central black strip. The overall graphic design is faithful to the aesthetic of 1990s Bandai Carddass, with vibrant colors, crisp printing, and a neat layout.

The SD (Super Deformed) design of the character and the Gundam robot, with exaggeratedly compact proportions, is typical of Japanese merchandise from this period. Since the reverse is not visible in the photo, only the front can be described.

The card comes in a classic rectangular format, with rounded corners and a glossy surface that slightly reflects light, with no apparent relief. No major flaws appear on the displayed side: no chips, creases, or scratches visible in the light. The colors remain well saturated, and the original Japanese printing is clear.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible front is in good overall condition, with no notable defects. Any potential signs of use or wear on non-visible parts cannot be specified.

Did you know? Carddass cards were introduced by Bandai in Japan as early as 1988. They became iconic for many animated franchises, including Gundam, and are prized for their exclusive illustrations, often specially created for these promotional and recreational items.
