AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Illustrated card featuring the famous Ninja Turtles, from the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" franchise. This card displays a colorful visual with three turtles (Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael, recognizable by their orange, blue, and red headbands) in action against a stylized urban background. The illustration is typical of the 1990s animation style, with vibrant colors and bold outlines.

In the upper left, the official "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" logo is clearly visible, surmounting a dynamic scene. On the upper right of the card, a black inset features a Japanese ideogram meaning "fire" accompanied by the word "FIRE". The lower part includes several Japanese inscriptions, including an episode number (47) and descriptive texts, as well as a yellow and red inset indicating "HIP 75" and a mention of points, typical of Japanese playing or collectible cards from that period.

The card has two perforations on the left edge, suggesting it was intended to be inserted into a binder or specific storage system, a common practice for vintage Japanese collectible cards. The visible surface shows a smooth and shiny appearance, with no apparent relief, and rounded corners.

The main colors are green, yellow, red, and blue, true to the TMNT graphic universe. The card is placed on an antique table, next to books, highlighting its contrast between pop culture and retro decor. No major defects are visible on the presented side, apart from some reflections and minor traces of use typical for a card of its age.
