Jeremy Padawer Instagram – A complete set of 1996 Carddass Charizard PSA 10. Maybe less than 5 complete sets in existence?
#000 PSA 10 Charizard Trainer (pop 10)
#6 PSA 10 Charizard Prism Red (pop 50ish)
#6 PSA 10 Charizard Prism Green (pop 30ish)
The red and green are together in the pop report (87 total).
Some believe Carddass is the first set. I believe it very likely hit the street first.
I’ve never received the complete story on Carddass vs Topsun. My belief is that the Topsun license might have been first signed. Style guide appears to be the oldest based on many conversations I’ve had. Art and dating. However, Carddass appears to be distributed first – first in consumer hands. The question of printing will never be known. If Topsun was licensed, printed and held in a warehouse – explaining the 1995 mark – will remain a mystery. How 1995 mark was ever reviewed and approved in such a comprehensive system will remain a mystery.
Carddass appears to have the best clear claim to 1st in consumers hands. And, over time, that makes the 3 Carddass cards in the set Green Prism, Red Prism and 000 Trainer very rare and worthwhile in Pokémon history… and without further information, they may be the true rookie cards.
The most comprehensive review and tracking of this set is done by @maxmaxcity – a seriously committed and passionate collector.
Some opinion above!! ❤️❤️
