The 1996 Bandai Pokémon Carddass Vending Japanese #156 Blastoise Trainer is graded PSA 9 Mint. According to PSA population records, 54 examples have achieved this grade. The front card face features Ken Sugimori's classic Blastoise illustration framed by "The Pocket Monster Trainer" circular graphic over a light-blue silhouette pattern, while the back presents a full illustration of the Kanto Region Town Map. Dispensed via Japanese card vending machines in 1996, Bandai's Carddass issues stand among the earliest officially licensed Pokémon card releases, predating the launch of the official Pokémon Trading Card Game. Designated with the blue "青" kanji symbol corresponding to the Pocket Monsters Blue video game release, card #156 captures a key piece of the franchise's origin history.Show more
