Grand Order of Destiny (Set of 30+)
Our search for this became confusing. Grand Order seems to be a competitor to Genshin Impact, as you will easily see if you look for yourself. But we’re not certain what any of it is. We do know this set is similar in structure to 40400080, unused, unopened. Grade: 1
-
Hatsune Miku (Set of 30+)
See our entry 40400080 for content description, and we are as always indebted to Wikipedia for giving us information about this character: “Hatsune Miku (Japanese: 初音ミク), officially code-named CV01, is a Vocaloid software voicebank developed by Crypton Future Media and its official anthropomorphic mascot character, a 16-year-old girl with long, turquoise twintails. Miku’s personification has been marketed as a virtual idol, and has performed at live virtual concerts onstage as an animated projection (rear-cast projection on a specially coated glass screen)”. The search for this name became complicated, so you might want to double-check if you don’t already know. Unopened, unused. Grade: 1
-
The Little Prince (Set of 30+)
We’re placing this in the “Manga” theme category only because the unopened set of 30+ items (see 40400080) is packaged in the same style as all the Genshin Impact cards. However the Little Prince is a long-established literary character. This is condensed from Wikipedia: “The Little Prince is a novella by French writer, and military pilot, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. It was first published in the United States in 1943 and (then) in France following liberation; Saint-Exupéry’s works had been banned by the Vichy Regime. The story follows a young prince who visits various planets, including Earth, and addresses themes of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss. Despite its style as a children’s book, The Little Prince makes observations about life, adults, and human nature.” Grade: 1
-
LoveLive! (Set of 30+)
See entry 40400080 for the technical details, and this explanation from Wikipedia: “Love Live! School Idol Project Series is a Japanese multimedia project created by Hajime Yatate and Sakurako Kimino and co-produced by Kadokawa through ASCII Media Works; Bandai Namco Music Live through music label Lantis; and animation studio Sunrise.” We assume “multimedia” incorporates manga. Unopened, unused, Grade: 1
-
Sha Po Lang (Set of 30+)
A search for this generally leads to an English title “Winner is King” and then in different directions about the concept’s origins. One source just says “Sha Po Lang (杀破狼) is a Chinese webnovel written by Priest. It was adapted into a radio drama, a donghua, and a live action.” That may be all you need. Unopened, unused. Grade: 1
-
Shenhe (Set of 30)
Shenhe (申鹤) is another playable Cryo character in Genshin Impact. The daughter of an unnamed exorcist couple, Shenhe was taken in and raised by Cloud Retainer as a disciple following a traumatic incident instigated by Shenhe’s father during her childhood. Our entry 40400080 explains these sets. Unopened, unused. Grade: 1
-
Sailor Moon (Set of 30+)
Again from Wikipedia and condensed, “Sailor Moon (Japanese: 美少女戦士セーラームーン), originally translated as Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon and later as Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Naoko Takeuchi. It was originally serialized in Kodansha’s shōjo manga magazine Nakayoshi from 1991 to 1997; the 60 individual chapters along with side stories were compiled in 18 volumes. The series follows the adventures of a schoolgirl named Usagi Tsukino as she transforms into the eponymous character to search for a magical artifact, the “Legendary Silver Crystal”. She leads a group of comrades, the Sailor Soldiers, called Sailor Guardians in later editions, as they battle against villains to prevent the theft of the Silver Crystal and the destruction of the Solar System.” As the solar system is still here, she must have succeeded. The set of 30 cards and more items is unopened and unused, and Grade: 1.
-
Slam Dunk (Set of 30+)
See entry 40400092. Same group, different set. Unopened, unused, Grade: 1.
-
Sword Art Online (Set of 30+)
Combine information for our items 40400077 and 40400080, and it applies here too: unopened set of 30 cards plus extras as indicated in 40400080. Grade: 1
-
Pokemon (Set of 30+)
We’re not certain that Pokemon belongs in the “Manga” category but this wildly colourful set of 30 cards plus extras (see 40400080) is in the same style as similar sets. Unopened, unused. Grade: 1
-
Daomu Biji (Grave Robbery Note) (Set of 30+)
The title characters translate as “Tomb Robbing Notes” but, for clarification, Wikipedia in condensed form says much more: “Daomu Biji (traditional Chinese: 盜墓筆記), variously translated as Grave Robbers’ Chronicles, Grave Robbery Note, and The Lost Tomb, is a novel series about the grave-robbing adventures of Wu Xie, a young man hailing from a family that had been tomb-raiders for centuries. The series was written by Xu Lei (徐磊), better known by his pen-name Nan Pai San Shu, and first serialized online at Qidian China, a website for publishing, writing, and reading novels. Written over a span of five years and published as nine separate novels, it was one of the most popular novel series in China from 2007. The author also wrote sequels, Zang Hai Hua (藏海花), and Sha Hai (沙海), which continued the leading character’s story, neither of which were finished at the time of the author’s announcement to retire from writing in 2013. The author returned to writing in 2019 with another unfinished sequel, Reboot: Thunder at the Distant Sea (重启之极海听雷). Along with Ghost Blows Out the Light, Daomu contributed to a craze and subsequent market in the Greater China area for novels focusing on grave-robbing that also deal with the supernatural.” This set is structurally similar to others in this series. Grade: 1
-

-

-
Echoes of Fate (Set of 30+)
For the general description of this unopened set, see 40400080. But this is another example of a set where background research leads in too many directions for us to unravel. It might be “Arena of Fate” or “Echoes of Narcissus” or any of several other groups. Unopened, unused. Grade: 1
-
Emptiness of Fate (Set of 30+)
For the general description of this unopened set, see 40400080. The Pinyin title along the bottom of the box cover says “Yuan Zhi Kong” and if you Google “Yuan Zhi Kong Genshin Impact”, that will get you started. Unopened, unused, Grade: 1

-
Qiangjinjiu (Set of 30+)
For the general description of this unopened set, see 40400080. Literally “Will Drink Wine”, and if you split that Pinyin into its three characters (Qiang Jin Jiu) for Google, that may get you started. Unused. Grade: 1
-
Act Wildly (Set of 30+)
For the general description of this unopened set of manga postcards, see 40400080. Many versions of this name, and may or may not relate to Sa Ye ( 撒野), but if you are a manga/anime fan, you’ll probably know which one this is. Grade: 1

Blue Jail (Set of 30+)
For the general description of this unopened set of manga postcards, see 40400080. Everything we searched about “Blue Jail” led us to the name “Blue Lock,” but descriptions of that manga/anime series don’t really match with the cover graphic on this set.
