ABOUT THE SET

This is the Japanese Banpresto "Terebi Denwa" (TV Telephone) Part 3 from 1993 — the third part of the series, dispensed not from packs but from Japanese arcade cabinets shaped like videophones where kids "called Goku" to win cards. Part 3 breaks from the 36-card Parts 1 and 2: it's a tighter 24-card, all-prism run themed around the Android/Cyborg and Cell saga, with Perfect Cell, Trunks and the Z fighters across the checklist. Every card is a rainbow-foil prism, so there are no common base cards to fall back on — the whole set glitters. Because these came out of machines rather than sealed packs, clean copies are tougher than the modest prices suggest, and the format is a true piece of early-'90s Japanese arcade history.

SpecialistA niche, all-prism Japanese arcade-dispensed set. Loose copies are affordable, but high-grade examples are scarce because the foil surfaces scratch and the cards were handled, not sealed.

GRADING NOTES

Full-bleed prism foil scratches and shows handling lines easily, so surface is the decisive grading factor. Arcade-dispensed origin means soft corners and edge nicks are common; clean high-grade copies are genuinely scarce.
