"Introduction" Amada Part 20 Limited 3000 (2 prisms) & Part 28 Limited 3000 (3 gold cards)

Part 20 Memorial PP Limited cards (taken from an ended auction listing)

While Bandai's Carddass series had many limited gift cards, rival Amada also had a few. The first of these came in 1993 as part of the release of PP part 20. 

Limited to only 3000, and introduced through a winning ticket system distributed at random in packs of PP part 20. Customers who found a winning ticket in the pack would send it in with their name and address and receive these two cards in a dedicated container pictured above and below.

As I did not collect these rare PP limited cards, I've had to use images from various sold listings found online for this introduction.

The two cards featured inside are numbered PP cards: Part 20 number 889, and number 890. Both are therefor part of the main numbered cards (as part 21 begins at number 891).

These two limited cards are extremely rare, and are the rarest Amada cards ever made. Due to this it becomes very hard (almost impossible) for most PP collectors to have an absolutely complete set.

Both cards feature the Cell saga prior to Gohan achieving SS2. Number 889 is called "The Ultimate Wariors" and features the four Saiyajin heroes, and 890 is called "The Transforming Cell" and features Cell in all three of his forms.

The Ultimate Warriors card reads: "The blood of the warrior race Saiyajin brought fourth four Super Saiyajin."

The Transforming Cell card reads: "The Android Cell who grows stronger by absorbing anything and everything!"

The back of the cards features the PP part 20 designs with a black lower border box.

It's possible that the 3000 sets made did not get fully distributed as winners had to send in the ticket themselves, which means that some winning tickets could have stayed in unsold PP packs, and that some winners might have not gotten around to sending them in.

The second set of limited Amada cards came out around April 1995 (also limited to 3000!). Similarly to the previous limited cards, these had to be requested by sending in a winning ticket found in PP packs of part 28.

These cards are also numbered: 1274, 1275, and 1276. The three cards therefor also fit into the PP collection, as the last three cards of part 28. They came in a similar foldable display as the Part 20 limited cards did.

The 3 cards feature SS3 Son Goku, SS3 Gotenks, and SS Vegito. The Gotenks card looks particularly awesome in my opinion! The Vegito looks very nice too.

Despite also being limited to 3000, the PP Part 28 Special Gold cards are easier to come across, although of course now a days they are very expensive.

Amada did not release many limited cards, and they are not as well known as many of the Carddass series limited gift cards, however they are still extremely collectable and admired cards by Dragon Ball card fans!
