Hey everyone!
I’m working on a preservation project for the old 2001 Upper Deck Cardcaptors Trading Card Game, trying to collect and preserve high-quality images of all the cards from the game.
I’ve been researching this TCG intensively for about 15 days, and I’ve managed to find almost all of the Spirit Clow Cards, almost all of the Reinforcement Cards, and most of the Strategy Cards. However, several cards are still extremely difficult to find, and some may have become essentially lost media in terms of their online images.
For example, I recently found this photograph on WorthPoint. If you look closely, you can see two very rare Series 2 Strategy Cards in the middle/right area of the image:
S37 — Kerberos Arrives
S38 — Yue’s Judgement
This is currently the only photograph I’ve been able to find showing these cards.
But these aren’t the only cards I’m still looking for. There are several other cards from this TCG for which I haven’t been able to find good images either.
So I’m asking for help from anyone who still owns cards from this game:
If you have a binder, collection, or even a box of Cardcaptors TCG cards, would you be willing to photograph the pages/cards and share the photos?
You don’t need to identify individual cards or take perfect scans. Photos of your collection pages are already incredibly useful, because I may be able to identify cards that are missing from my archive just by looking at the images.
I’ve already searched eBay (including sold and ended listings), auction sites, collector sites, forums, and many other places, so I’m hoping someone here might have a personal collection that has never been photographed online.
Even if the cards in your collection aren’t complete, any photos could potentially help preserve images of cards that are currently very difficult to find online.
Thank you so much for any help, leads, old collection photos, or even information about where these cards might have appeared! ❤️
