Information:       These very special trading cards were offered for a very limited time with the purchase of Hopper Productions' 21st Century Postcard sets. With the purchase of one of those sets, the buyer was given one pack of trading cards.  Each pack contained five cards. There were 36 cards in the basic set, nine of which were "Gatchaman"-related. However, there were a number of very special variation cards including metallic ink versions of all the basic cards, autographed illustrator cards and even a number of original sketch cards (examples of all are shown above). The cards had the phrase "2000" in their title, but they were not released until early 2001.
