| Ultimate Exhibit 1995 Admission card |
After the success of the first Ultimate Exhibit in 1994, Bandai decided to do a second such event in October of 1995. This time called Jump Character Carddass Ultimate Exhibit 1995 (ジャンプキャラクターカードダス究極博 in Japanese). Unfortunately they still used the inaccurate English translation of the event in the subtitle: "Super Museum".
This time the event was carried out at only three locations: Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka. This decision must have been decided based on attendance levels at the locations of the Ultimate Exhibit of 1994.
Exact dates are not easily found online, but it lasted 5 days. Requests for invitations were probably made around July or August, after which lucky applicants who were selected to attend where sent this limited prism card. This would be shown at the admission counter when attending the event in October. Unlike the invitation card of 1994, there was no stamping of numbers at the back of the card this time.
This time Dragon Ball Carddass parts were up to part 24, with 25 around the corner. Super Battle was at part 14 with 15 about to be released too. All parts were available for sale as full sets, and there were some rewards to be won such as a limited Jumbo card, and a limited Super Jumbo card.
The ultimate rewards were a "Carddass part 1~24 Complete Set" and a "Super Battle part 1~14 Complete Set" prize rewards. Each one was given to one lucky recipient per day per event (total 15 per box for each). These came in standard black boxes with texts written in gold.

| Ultimate Exhibit 1995 Admission card back |
The card features Son Goku, Trunks, and Pan. This illustration by Toriyama sensei is one of the first Dragon Ball GT illustrations, and the colors used on Goku are different from what ended up being on the show. The lower box reads: "What are the Dragon Ball that are neither Shenron nor Porunga?!". The edge reads: "Goku and friends new adventure begins!!".
The back of the card features a special type of back, that was also used on the Movie Special Card 95. The text in the box reads: "A few years since the events of before. Goku, Trunks, and Pan's adventure begins. It's a new TV original Dragon Ball story!! From part 26 DB Carddass too will meet the new development by introducing a new design!!"
A very nice card that is full of promise of what Dragon Ball GT might bring! I love the colors, and enjoy the differences in the expressions of the three characters. The fact that Goku's colors are different from the final designs makes it even more interesting to me. What a delightful card!
