AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This Dragon Ball Z collectible card belongs to Series 1, known as "Carddass," renowned for its characteristic 1990s design. On the front, the card features a colorful visual illustrating four iconic characters from the saga: Trunks (light hair, medium-length cut), Son Goku (spiky black hair), Piccolo (green skin, white cape), and adult Goku with a halo, all in battle attire. The image is framed by a glossy, metallic-looking border, typical of the special editions in the Carddass series.

The dark blue background highlights the characters, whose colors remain vibrant despite wear. The graphic details are sharp, with a style faithful to the original Dragon Ball Z animation. At the bottom of the card, "DRAGON BALL Z" is printed in bright red on a black background, accompanied by the inscription "COLLECTIBLE DRAGON BALL SERIES" in small letters.

The card's surface shows several visible signs of wear: scratches, handling marks, and minor impacts on the edges, indicating regular use. The card's texture reveals a slight glossy effect, especially on the border, which enhances its vintage and collector's appeal. No serial number or publisher's logo is visible on the presented front side.

The card is photographed on a wooden surface, which does not affect its condition but allows appreciation of the color contrast. The corners are rounded and show slight marks, typical of 90s cards handled without specific protection. As no information about the back is visible, only the illustrated front is described here.

This type of collectible card is particularly sought after for its original illustrations from the Dragon Ball Z license and its retro aesthetic. It represents an emblematic piece of collections related to the Japanese manga and anime universe of the 90s.

Condition
