Hey Pojo, your site rocks. I was
hoping I could get an answer to a small question. Recently, I went to my
not-so-local Hobby Shop and bought a trainer card that they called "Imakuni's
Suggestion" And on a little label they put on, they had in parentheses
"Okay to cheat!". One of the guys there said that it was a
rare series 3 vending card and that the description they got was that it allows
you to cheat. I don't have a scanner, but the card looks incredibly
weird. . .the card looks like a kid drew it! Everything on the card
is wavy (not a straight line) and it has a picture of Imakuni smiling,
sitting on a green couch (?), with a flower pot with two pinkish flowers to
his left sitting on a purple table. To his right is part of a picture,
which is a picture of a multicolored face. The weirdest part is the back
of it. It has a picture of Clefairy, Diglett, Squirtle, Pikachu,
Charmander, Mew and Bulbasaur all in a circle on top of a circle that says,
"Pocket Monsters Trading Card Game". Some bold, red japanese
text is right below it. Can you tell me anything about this card?

Well, I don't really know how rare this card is. It is obtainable
from the Vending Sheets, series 3. As far as cheating goes, I could not
tell you, as I have not seen a translation on it. As far as the backs go
(with the Squritle, Pikachu, etc...), all Series 3 Vending Sheets had 3 Pokemon
cards and one "extra" card with that backing. It's on all the
series 3. Value-wise it would only be a couple dollars or so.

Hello!
I read a message from Justin Smith on the
Collector's Corner regarding the odd card he got. The red Japanese text he's
referring to means "This card is forbidden in tournament play".
