100 Yen Cards

100 yen shops are extremely common in Japan now, and are kind of like Dollar Stores in the U.S. Recently, though, one of the shops had a display stand filled with packs like these (which are more often found at konbini). They're kind of like trading cards in the U.S., with one card and some kind of small snack (a dried-out wafer cookie, or a tiny piece of ramune (lemonade) chewing gum). The snacks are worthless, but I did have some interest in running the cards on the blog. Pictured here are: A big foil series for DBZ, One Piece - Waters, Monster Strike, and Re:Life.



The Monster Strike card for Catastrophe is silvered, and I wasn't expecting it to scan as well as it did.





The Re:Life Emilia card is a normal laminated plastic. It starts out looking a bit washed-out, so it still doesn't scan that well.





The One Piece cards look a bit more like regular trading cards.





The Dragonball things are actually big mylar sheets that are just mirrors on the back. There's a bit of silvering on the front for effect, which messes up Freeza's face in the close-up section.

None of the cards are all that great, unless you're a fan of the series.
