Vintage Dragon Ball Z Card #517 Chi-Chi Power Level 1 Rare Japanese Series

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

This collectible card features an emblematic character from the Dragon Ball Z universe, identifiable as Chi-Chi, in a central position on the front. The card has a rectangular shape with rounded corners, typical of vintage Japanese series from the 1990s. The front, which is the only side visible here, shows a vivid turquoise frame, a graphic style typical of the era, and a background illustrating an outdoor scene with a blue sky and red and white architectural elements in the background.

In the upper left corner is the official "Dragon Ball Z" logo in its Japanese version, printed in vibrant colors. To the right, a Japanese pictogram on a black background adds an authentic touch. The character Chi-Chi is depicted in a traditional pink outfit with a mandarin collar, a green belt, and black hair pulled up in a bun, faithful to the original anime style.

The card bears the mention "POWER LEVEL 1" in a yellow and black insert at the bottom right, as well as a numbered scale from 1 to 5, typical of Dragon Ball Z game cards from that period. Several Japanese inscriptions are present, including the character's name (??, Chi-Chi) and a red band with the serial number 517, confirming its belonging to a specific series, sought after by collectors of vintage Japanese cards.

The visual is clear, with vibrant colors and a strong contrast between the character and the background. No particular glitter or embossed effect is visible on the front; the surface appears smooth and matte, with no indications of gilding or holographic effects on this version.

The visible general condition of the card shows sharp corners and a well-preserved surface, with no major scratches or apparent discoloration. Some light reflections in the photo attest to the card's texture, but no significant defects are visible on the front.

Condition: Used item sold as is. Only the front is visible; the condition of the back is not documented.

Did you know? Dragon Ball Z cards published in Japan in the 1990s were often distributed in newsstands or in sets in surprise packs. Some numbered series, like this one, are now highly sought after for their authenticity and graphics faithful to the original anime.
