The '''Vending Machine''' ('''拡張シート''' ''lit. Extended Sheet'') cards are a series of special collections for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. They were released in Japan only as a side expansion to the game and have never received an English release.

The '''Vending Machine''' (Japanese: '''拡張シート''' ''Expansion Sheet'') cards are a series of special collections for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] released in Japan.


Unlike regular expansions, where a player would receive 11 cards from a booster pack, these cards were only obtainable by getting a randomized sheet from a vending machine from which the cards were peeled. It is due to this that the fan name ''Vending Machine Series'' was coined by collectors, and should not be considered the proper name for the set.  
==Information==
Unlike regular expansions, where a player would receive a number cards from a booster pack, these cards were only obtainable on randomized sheets from a vending machine from which the cards were peeled. It is due to this that the fan name ''Vending Machine Series'' was coined by collectors, and should not be considered the proper name for the set.  


Series 1 (Blue Sheet) and 2 (Red Sheet) featured eighteen sheets with three cards per-sheet along with cardboard damage counters and coins. Series 3 (Green) featured eighteen sheets with three cards plus one special card which had a non-standard back, most of which were gag-cards or special Pass Cards.  
Series 1 (Blue) and 2 (Red) feature eighteen sheets with three cards per-sheet along with cardboard damage counters and coins. Series 3 (Green) features eighteen sheets with three cards plus one special card which had a non-standard back, most of which are gag-cards or special cards featuring extra game rules or theme deck ideas.  


Each sheet in the set is numbered in the bottom right corner. Each sheet always has the same cards e.g. series 1 sheet 12 has Chansey and both genders of Nidoran. Collecting all numbered sheets 1-18 will yield the entire set with some single duplicates of the common cards.
The reverse of the sheet in each series features Pokémon from 6 different locations in the [[Kanto]] region. The Pokémon cards on the sheets are representative of the location indicated. Series 1 and 2 sheets include gameplay tips and advertisements for other expansions. Series 3 sheets detail the "Interaction Evolution Campaign" (see below). Each sheet is also numbered in the bottom right corner and each always contain the same cards. For example, Series 1 sheet 12 will always have Chansey, Nidoran♀, and Nidoran♂. Collecting all numbered sheets 1-18 will yield the entire set with some single duplicates of the common cards.


It is very hard to find full sets of these cards still attached to the sheets today.
==Trivia==
 
*The cards are printed on glossy card stock, unlike the regular matte card stock. Glossy card stock became quite popular through the time of 1998 until about 2001 for promos from magazines such as CoroCoro.
[[Image:Vendingsymbol.png|frame|]]
*A special preview expansion sheet was available at the 7th Next Generation World Hobby Fair held in December 1997, featuring {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|4}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Mewtwo|12}}, and {{TCG ID|WHF Special Sheet|Mew|promo}}. Officially {{TCG|Unnumbered Promotional cards}}, they are often regarded as additions to the Vending Machine collection and dubbed "Series 00".
The symbol for the Vending Machine Cards is an upside-down Poké Ball and is used for quite a number of Japanese promos asides from the Vending series.
*With the release of Series 3 the "Interaction Evolution Campaign" was launched, inspired by [[Methods of evolution#Evolution via trading|trade evolution]] in the Pokémon games. In order to acquire the fully evolved versions of Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler, Haunter and {{tt|Omanyte|Does not need to be traded to evolve in the games}}, people had to send one of these cards along with the Pass Card {{TCG ID|Vending|Bill's PC|S3}} to MediaFactory before April 1999. In return they received the evolved version of the card they sent, each of them a holographic promotional card. These cards are often sought after by collectors due to the method in which the cards were originally distributed. Similarly to the WHF preview sheet, they are also often regarded as unofficial additions to the Vending Machine collection.
 
*The winning entries in the CoroCoro Pokémon Illustration Contest, which ran from late 1997 to early 1998, had their illustrations printed on cards across the three series. A total of four finalists had their artwork featured on cards, with all finalists receiving the much sought-after {{TCG ID|CoroCoro|Pokémon Illustrator|promo}} card.
==Set Size==
**In a similar manner, [[Wizards of the Coast]] also ran an illustration contest in 2002. The winning entry was featured on the English version of {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Snorlax|49}}, the Japanese version of which was one of the winning CoroCoro Pokémon Illustration Contest entries.
*36 cards in Series 1
*Due to the likely monetary restrictions of distributing the cards in a similar manner, many of these cards were not released outside of Japan. Of those that were, all of them were printed as {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos}} and distributed via the Pokémon League throughout the 2001-2002 season.
*36 cards in Series 2
*53 cards in Series 3

==Trivia==
*The cards are printed on glossy card stock, unlike the regular matte card stock. Glossy card stock became quite popular through the time of 1998 until about 2001 for promos from magazines such as CoroCoro.
*The front of the sheets have step-by-step guides on how to play the game and advertisements for other Expansion sets.
*While this was a novel idea in Japan, it was not introduced in America or European countries, likely because it would have been too expensive to produce/maintain and was not suited for the market. While some of these cards did make English appearances (as {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|Promotional cards}}), many still remain exclusive to Japan.
*People began to notice that some Pokémon did not have complete evolution chains over the three sets – this mystery was soon revealed. In April 1999 a "Masaki Evolution" Campaign was launched, inspired by the idea that in order for certain Pokémon to evolve in the games, they have to be traded. In order to acquire the fully evolved versions of Kadabra, Machoke, Graveler, Haunter and Omanyte, people had to send one of these cards along with the Pass Card {{TCG ID|Vending|Bill's PC|S3}} to MediaFactory. In return they received the evolved version of the card they sent. Not many of these cards actually made it to collector's hands, and one can still expect to pay $100+ for them. Omanyte was the only Pokémon that didn't need to be traded in the actual games. These five cards are the only holo cards of the entire vending series that have rarity symbols. While these cards could be considered their own set, like the other cards, they are instead officially listed on the 1999 promotional card list in Japan.
*The character art for some of the cards in the Vending Machine series' were winners from an illustration competition started by CoroCoro Magazine in late 1997. Those winners were not only awarded by having their art feature on real Pokémon cards, they also received the coveted '''Pokémon Illustrator''' card.
*A special sheet of cards (dubbed "Series 00" by fans to follow trend of the other sets) was released at the World Hobby Fair in 1998, featuring Pikachu, Mewtwo and Mew. The cards are officially listed on the 1998 promotional card list in Japan.

== Sheet Differentiation ==
The side of the sheets opposite the cards in each series are decorated with Pokémon for 6 different regions of the game. The Pokémon cards on the sheets are representative of the region indicated.
In addition, each sheet in the set is numbered in the bottom right corner and always has the same cards e.g. series 1, sheet 12 has Chansey and both genders of Nidoran. Collecting all numbered sheets 1-18 will yield the entire set with one duplicate of each common card.
Series One:
*sheets 1-3 Professor Oak's Lab
*sheets 4-6 Viridian Forest
*sheets 7-9 Mount Moon
*sheets 10-12 Safari Zone
*sheets 13-15 Cerulean Cave
*sheets 16-18 Celadon City
Series Two:
*sheets 1-3 Rock Tunnel
*sheets 4-6 Power Plant
*sheets 7-9 Seafoam Islands
*sheets 10-12 Victory Road
*sheets 13-15 Saffron City
*sheets 16-18 Cinnabar Island
Series Three:
*sheets 1-3 Lavendar Town
*sheets 4-6 Cinnabar Island
*sheets 7-9 Safari Zone
*sheets 10-12 Cinnabar Island
*sheets 13-15 Cerulean Cave
*sheets 16-18 Bill's Cottage
