Banpresto Cards

AFAIK there are not currently any other list/descriptions of the Banpresto cards available. The Banpresto company makes these cards (a company owned by Bandai) and have the name Banpresto on the back. The Banpresto logo is picture on the right. Banpresto makes several different types of cards that I've become aware of so far: Click here or on the picture of Rei (# 3 from a Sailor Moon Super S Banpresto Jumbo Card Set) to skip to pictures of banpresto cards.

  1. Regular Sized Trading Cards
    So far aware of one set for the first season, one set for Sailor Moon R, two for Sailor Moon S, three for Sailor Moon SuperS and one for Salilor Stars. Below are brief descriptions of these sets with help from to Lilian Tan and Shana Kibble.
  2. Banpresto Jumbo Cards.

    Aware that there are sets for Sailor Moon R and SuperS from some of the fake stickers I've come across. There's probably a set for S as well. If you collect stickers and you find the logo I've got pictured here on the right =====> on the sticker back, then that sticker is probably a copy of a Banpresto Jumbo Card. No one I know has any real Banpresto Jumbo Card. I'm guessing that they are about the same size as the Jumbo Carddas cards. Jumbo Carrdas card are 15 x 21 cm , or 5 7/8 x 8 2/8 inches (ie. roughly the size of a mouse pad). If you've got any information you'd like to share, please write Susan Savoie. Below is what I've managed to gather so far about the sets.


  3. Twin Character Cards

    Are smaller than the regular trading cards and measure 6.4 x 4.7 cm or 1 7/8 x 2 1/2 inches. These cards have a sticker on the top and a picture underneath. Sets consist of 48 cards. The first 24 cards are regular cards, the next 24 cards in the set are prisms cards that feature the same pictures as the first 24 card in the set. So far know of sets for Sailor Moon S and SuperS. The S set is made in 1994. The stickers on the top of the card will be copies of other card pictures in the set. Lance Hatami says they come in a small itty-bitty box of 200 cards and were originally distributed in arcades through some kind of video game machine.

  4. Fortune Telling Cards

    So far know of one set (Part 1) for Sailor Moon R, made in 1994. The set consists of 36 peelable sticker cards. These cards are unnumbered. Go here for list of the set of 36 cards. Click here to see all the parts of an R Fortune Card.

    The cover of the card is blue with a yellow zodiac wheel in the center. The word "'MONEY", "DAYTIME", "LOVE", or "HEALTH" is written in yellow on the top left corner. There are 9 cards for each of the four fortune "topics". The Sailor Moon R logo is on the bottom right corner in yellow. In the top right corner is a pull tab to help you "open" the top part of the sticker-card. On the back of the blue sticker cover portion is a fortune relating to the topic of the fortune card on the written on the front. Underneath the blue cover is the card. The left side has a senshi symbol in a circle with a sentence in black Japanese writing underneath it. On the right side is a framed picture. On the back of the picture part of the card has a blue/pink/white color scheme. There is a picture of Sailor Moon and a paragraph (same on all cards) that translates (thanks to Kinyan) roughly as "There are a total of four different kinds of these cards Love, Daily Life, Fortune (Money), Health.... However, fate is something one to conquer by oneself. Don't you forget that!"
