AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Rare Carddass-type collectible card, from the official "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" license, visible at the top of the card. This copy features a colorful illustration of Leonardo, one of the famous turtles, recognizable by his blue mask and katanas. The drawing adopts a graphic style typical of the 1990s, with a dynamic composition and bright colors on a yellow and orange background.

The visible side of the card highlights Leonardo in an energetic pose, surrounded by stylized electric effects, with other turtles in the background. Several Japanese inscriptions appear in the lower part, accompanied by an orange insert mentioning "HIP: 50" in a style typical of games or series of the era. In the upper right, a Japanese ideogram accompanied by the inscription "WIND" adds an additional thematic touch.

The format is rectangular, with three round perforations on the left side, characteristic of Japanese Carddass cards designed to be stored in specialized binders. The corners are rounded and the visible surface has a smooth, slightly shiny appearance, with no apparent embossed pattern.

The main colors are yellow, blue, green, and red, with a black frame and white and yellow text. The central illustration is detailed, faithful to the pop culture universe of the Ninja Turtles, and the card displays a manga/anime style, typical of Japanese derivative products of the franchise in the 1990s.

Several Japanese inscriptions are present, including a white phrase on a black background in the lower part, as well as a yellow mention just below. The character details, iconography, and layout are characteristic of playing or collectible cards produced in Japan at that time.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible side shows good general preservation, with no major apparent defects in the photo (no chips, noticeable scratches, or visible folds).

Did you know? Carddass cards were launched by Bandai in Japan in 1988 to accompany many popular licenses, including Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, and the Ninja Turtles. These cards, often perforated to be stored in specific binders, became emblematic objects of Japanese pop culture in the 80s and 90s, prized for their original illustrations.
