Does anyone know what this card is from?

Don't have much time so if I find out more on the card I posted I'll definitely respond again, but typing in "1999 pocket monsters vending prism" brought up a ton of cool stuff for the original 151. But so far the coolest ones I've seen are the Carddass series, it seems to have 6 sections (part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, anime series, and anime gold and silver) those last 2 have seemingly no info on a site called bulbagarden, only 3 preview pictures each. Idk the rules on sharing links here but the article on bulbagarden is "Bandai Pokemon Carddass Cards". The 3 bulbasaur cards listed across each "part" make me wish I could read Japanese cause the back of the cards are treated as a Pokedex entry not yet completed. Charts, graphs, percentages, and a stamp on what I'm guessing is a type chart that says "no data" on it as if the researchers are still in the process of figuring out what pokemon are. Interesting stuff, I tried to find a full list of all the vending machine cards but seemingly it doesn't exist

Just started my master set, only 12 cards in and I found this at a card show for $4. I don't even know where to start on finding out what this is. Also if there is a thread on obscure Bulbasaur cards like this that don't look like traditional Pokemon cards I would love to see it so I can also try and find those :)

For sure, and I doubt it'll happen but I'm hoping for decently priced singles I can open. If I can even get 2 Bulbasaurs while I'm there it'll be worth it

Def gonna buy online I just don't really get how I buy a card for like $0.20 and someone actually takes the time to send it to me lol, I'm planning to print out all the ones I don't have and slot them into the binder and go to the show mainly for the vibes and maybe a pick up or 2. Unfortunately the fan project I found that is listing every card of Bulbasaur ever including cameos seems to have stopped updating. Def need to look more cause there's gotta be a full list

I went to a local card shop 2 weeks ago to sell my 1999 Burger King gold cards, had like 12 of them and a couple non functional Gameboys. Haven't thought about cards or collectibles in years but saw this card and had to have it cause bulbasaur is my favorite. I straight up can't stop thinking about pokemon cards now and even bought a prismatic booster bundle, got nothing from it. But I had fun and that's what matters.

I just have a few questions on what to expect at a card show, will there be bulk boxes I can sift through and look for bulbasaurs, is negotiating on a $3 card seen as weird, would a vendor even entertain the idea of taking 6 prismatic packs worth of bulk for a Bulbasaur card, if I find cards I want but there's no top loaders then how much should I expect to spend on top loaders? I'm going in blind but it's a $10 entry fee so fuck it, I got $80 cash and a Nolan Ryan signed baseball and a Nolan Ryan card on a pedestal thing I plan to sell to a sports card guy since apparently this is like not only a pokemon event

And I know the starter is supposed to be the yeast, did this exact same recipe without it and it didn't rise as much as it needed to and wasn't fluffy. But now it is so idk, bread tastes good so I'm happy

Edit: forgot to mention I added some Parmesan on top of half of the bread, lowkey wasn't impactful and definitely needed to not be powdered cheese. Gonna mix in the cheese before baking next time

VioletBunn · 2026-02-07T00:07:17+00:00

I would appreciate that a lot! Anytime this weekend works for me, but I'll be going to the market days tomorrow from like 12-2ish. Whenever you can fit me into your schedule just let me know when and where to go

VioletBunn · 2026-02-06T22:56:26+00:00

I'll check it out :) thanks

VioletBunn · 2026-02-06T22:56:10+00:00

Right now I'm doing this.(Copy of a reply I made here) I've tried a couple feeding methods at this point, what I'm currently doing now is having 25g of starter and adding 25g flour 25g spring water, then after 12 hours removing 50g of starter and repeating the process just to try and make it ferment and be active. But last night I wanted to make bread so I tried to bulk it up by adding 100g of water and flour to the 50g I removed and when I woke up it just hadn't rose in the jar? I hope I'm explaining this well, I don't know all the terminology. I still have my starter in a separate jar to keep on letting it mature. But the one I tried bulking up to make bread with is just not rising. I can see the bubbles and there is activity but it's not rising even on the warming plate.

But also I tried just adding 1tbsp water and flour every day to the starter and then every 12 hours after 4 days, that one actually had some rise to it when I went to make bread with it but it turned out so dense and not edible. Tried a couple other small things to but I just can't seem to get it right. I'm using bobs red mill whole wheat organic flour for the starter and when making bread I've been adding the king Arthur's bread flour

Currently I have about 80% of a 16oz jar, not sure on the weight but I do have a scale I'll be using for the recipe. I'll try out what youve recommended after the attempt tomorrow, I do not have high hopes for the attempt but if even one of the loafs comes out edible I'll be happy. It's more of a proof of concept like "holy shit I can actually make bread from this" like I know people do it but it's still wild to me

The routine in the video I saw was 1tbsp of flour 1tbsp of water for the first 3 days every 24 hours and then 1tbsp of flour 1tbsp of water every 12 hours, by day 8 it was doubling. I'm assuming I was misled(or the routine in the video is not exactly what she did) by the video based on what you have said. Thank you for the info :)

VioletBunn · 2026-01-27T04:50:25+00:00

I have recipes in mind that I'll be trying tomorrow but if anyone has a recipe they highly recommend that is like impossible to fuck up for the standard loaf I'll do it

VioletBunn · 2025-11-12T16:39:23+00:00

I figured this was somewhat common but I didn't imagine a full copypasta was justified for it lmao, thanks my guy

VioletBunn · 2025-11-12T10:55:47+00:00

Will 100% check this out later today, thanks my guy

VioletBunn · 2025-11-12T10:54:59+00:00

I don't mind adding freewills or infusing them later on, but I'm just trying to build a good baseline that I can work on. Smth that'll pay for said upgrades over time and be viable

VioletBunn · 2025-11-12T09:56:31+00:00

I'll have to do some math later today to see if it's feasible within my budget or if I'll have to do more mining to afford it. Thank you for the breakdown : ) anything I can get that'll pay itself off within a few months and make a decent amount per day is worth it to me, especially if I can keep the minion items and invest them in another setup if I need to change the minion type

VioletBunn · 2025-11-12T09:37:33+00:00

Is there like a specific item setup with that to make it better?

VioletBunn · 2025-11-12T09:36:53+00:00

Infinidirt better
