Description

A vintage Japanese Pokémon collectible featuring Blastoise #156 from Bandai's 1996 Pokémon Carddass series, professionally authenticated and graded PSA 4 VG-EX.

This unusual Blastoise collectible features the iconic Kanto Pokémon together with a colorful Town Map design. Produced by Bandai in Japan during Pokémon's earliest era, the piece offers a very different presentation from traditional Pokémon Trading Card Game releases.

The artwork is credited to legendary Pokémon illustrator Ken Sugimori, whose character designs helped define the original generation of Pokémon.

For collectors focused on Blastoise, early Japanese Pokémon releases, or unusual pre-international-boom Pokémon memorabilia, this 1996 Carddass issue offers both vintage appeal and a distinctive piece of Pokémon collecting history.
