Pokémon Lamincards were officially licensed Pokémon cards manufactured from 2004 to 2006 by Italian publishing company Edibas Collections.
Overview
Edibas produced 6 different sets of Lamincards with some sets being available in different languages. Although the cards in different languages have other booster boxes, since they do have the same artwork on them, they are considered from the same set.
All Lamincards are so called 'clear cards', which means that they are see-through and made out of plastic, instead the regular cardboard most collectible cards are made from. These can be best compared to the 'clear cards' made by Topps in the chase sets of Pokémon Trading Cards series 2 and Pokémon Trading Cards series 3.
