Vintage Dragon Ball Z Cardass Series 1 Card – Goku Janemba visual

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This playing card features an iconic visual from the Dragon Ball Z license, taken from the first edition of the Cardass series. The visible side presents a vivid red background, embellished with a dynamic illustration: to the right, a blonde character in white attire (recognizable as Goku in Super Saiyan form, with a halo), striking a blow, faces an opponent with red skin and pink armor with prominent horns (Janemba, demonic version) to the left. The action is intensified by a luminous impact effect in the center of the card.

The card adopts a traditional rectangular format, with rounded corners and a black border. The mention "DRAGON BALL Z" appears in red capital letters on the bottom part of the front, while a more discreet inscription "COLLECTION DRAGON BALL Z SERIE 1" is visible just above it. The medium has a glossy finish, typical of vintage Cardass editions, with metallic reflections on the darker areas.

The colors are bold and saturated, characteristic of the original graphic style of the license. The characters are drawn in a style faithful to late 90s Japanese animation. The whole is printed on smooth cardboard, with some visible signs of wear on the edges: light scratches, small surface chips, and marks of use, mainly on the corners.

The scene illustrates an intense battle, which gives the item strong visual appeal for fans of the Dragon Ball Z universe. No serial number or additional text is visible on the displayed side. The card is photographed on a wooden stand, which is not included in the sale.

This vintage Cardass edition is sought after for its retro design and the fidelity of its illustrations to the original animated series. The graphic style and typography are typical of the first generation of Dragon Ball Z merchandise in France and Europe.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The card shows visible signs of wear: surface scratches, corner wear, color chips on the border. The illustration colors remain vibrant and well-contrasted.

Did you know? Dragon Ball Z Cardass cards were first published in 1988 by Bandai in Japan, then distributed in Europe in the 1990s. Series 1 is particularly appreciated for its illustrations faithful to the original arc, and each card featured iconic battles or characters from the saga.
