1996 - 2001 Non Numbered

We have a large selection of vintage and rare Japanese promo cards for sale. The first Japanese Pokemon promo card was released in October, 1996. From that time until July, 2001, all the promo cards were not numbered, making them very difficult to keep track of. There are approximately 120 Japanese Pokemon non-numbered promo cards that were released before they started numbering them in 2001 (Not including Meiji chocolate cards). This section of the store is for all those promo cards made before 2001 that dont fit into a specific category. They come from a large variety of sources including tournaments, magazines, mail away campaigns, guidebooks, and more. If you are looking to buy the best Japanese Pokemon promo cards, then you have come to the right place. Get all your Japanese rare vintage promo cards right here.

Pokevault is such a fantastic website for anyone who loves authentic Japanese Pokémon goods. Their selection is amazing, with so many rare and exclusive items that are usually so hard to find. I ordered a 2022 Easter Buneary keychain, which had been tricky to track down at a fair price from a trustworthy seller. Brian was truly a pleasure to work with — he processed and shipped my order quickly, kept me updated the whole way through, and was always so kind and responsive to my questions. My item arrived in excellent condition, thoughtfully packaged to ensure it was well protected. It really shows how much pride they take in what they do. I was extremely satisfied with my experience and I look forward to ordering from Pokevault again for any of my Pokemon needs. Highly recommend!

I've been purchasing from Pokevault ever since they first started and definitely will keep doing so! I first found Pokevault when I came back from a visit to Japan and all Pokecenters I visited where out of stock on a specific plushee I had been looking for. Pokevault was the first site I found that was able to ship one to me, and for a very fair price! Brian and Pokevault always seemed very sincere, helping you find products that are otherwise unavailable, without also being so big that they are effectively scalping the stores. In general Brian always adds a very personal touch to the communication, which makes for a very safe and trusted shopping experience. Whenever I'm looking for specific products, this will be the first place I check, and the newsletters really help stay up to date on when what products are launched (I allways skim the newsletter to quickly check for the release of specific series of products, allowing me to know about their launch way before the products finally make it to my country, if they even do so in the first place).

Any time I hear of new poliwhirl related merch, pokevault is my first go to. Pokevault offers reliably pricing and reliable service. Their customer service team is also top notch. I continue to be impressed by the quality of updates and merch on their site. For japanense merch no one compares.

I've been purchasing from Pokevault for years and the service has always been great. I get updates for my package right away and everything is safely well packed. When I had trouble with my country's custom and had to contact Pokevault, the staff replied fast and was incredibly helpful and polite. Will continue purchasing for years to come for sure.
