Dragon Ball Z Hero Collection #193 Tapion vintage Cardass rare card

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed visual description

This Dragon Ball Z trading card features the character Tapion, identifiable by his distinctive white hair and blue and orange outfit. It is a "Hero Collection" series card, as indicated by the inscription visible at the bottom of the card. The card number is 193, clearly marked in red on a black background on the front.

The main visual of the card shows Tapion in a dynamic pose against a purple and pink background, creating a strong contrast with the character's vibrant colors. The black bottom border features the following inscriptions: "DRAGONBALL Z", "CARD NUMBER 193 HERO COLLECTION", all printed in white and red, with a typography typical of vintage Cardass editions.

The surface has a classic semi-glossy appearance typical of cards issued in the 1990s, with a smooth texture visible in the photo. The corners of the card, although generally intact, show signs of wear and slight crushing, particularly on the upper left and lower left corners. The visible edge reveals a slight patina related to age and handling.

The card shows no apparent relief or holographic effect on the visible side. The graphics, faithful to the original Dragon Ball Z anime, illustrate Tapion in a style specific to the period when the series was broadcast. No Bandai or Tamashii logo is visible on this side, but the "Hero Collection" mention and numbering correspond to official Cardass series.

Condition

Used card with visible signs of wear: blunted corners, small handling marks and general patina. Sold as is, consistent with photographs.

Did you know? Tapion is a character from the movie "Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon" released in 1995 in Japan. Cardass cards, published starting in the late 1980s by Bandai, became iconic for Dragon Ball fans and were initially distributed in card vending machines in Japan.
