ABOUT THE SET

This is the original Japanese Carddass printing of the 1989 SD Gundam Mobile Suit card line, the super-deformed take on Mobile Suit Gundam dispensed through Bandai's Carddass vending system. Bandai launched Carddass in 1988, and for 20 yen you cranked a lever and a single small card dropped out. Across 1989 the SD Gundam line rolled out in numbered Parts, our checklist running 536 cards over Parts 1 through 13. The art is pure late-'80s chibi mecha, Zaku, Zgok, Hy-Gogg and friends rendered cute and squat, and the chase has always been the Prism cards, the reflective foil pieces kids burned through machines hoping to hit. Because these were loose vending cards, not pack product, survivors in clean shape are scarce and condition-sensitive. This is a foundational Japanese collectible, a root of the SD Gundam Carddass tree.

Vintage Japanese / Condition-SensitiveCommon base cards still surface, but clean, well-centered copies are scarce after 35+ years of loose vending-machine handling. Prism foil cards are the genuine chase and command real money.

PRINT QUIRKS · WHAT TO LOOK FOR
  • 1
    Sold loose from Bandai Carddass vending machines at 20 yen per card, not in sealed packs.
  • 2
    Prism cards are rare foil chase cards seeded through the series; cards 253 and 292 in our checklist are Prisms.
  • 3
    Cards are roughly standard playing-card sized (about 57x82mm), close to a modern TCG card rather than a mini.
  • 4
    Issued in numbered Parts over time rather than one simultaneous set release.
GRADING NOTES

Small vending-machine cards dispensed loose, so mint examples are uncommon. Inspect corners, surface scratches, and edge wear. Prism cards scratch and fingerprint easily and show print lines/bends in the foil. Centering varies Part to Part.
