I like watching your videos of matches but it would be awesome if you posted decklist so we can keep up if we don’t remember/know all the cards. Awesome website though!!!!! Keep up the good work
Thanks! We have a few up now, we need to add more but admittedly we’ve been a bit busy so forgive us for that delay. Here is a link to all the decklists that we have up. We take submissions, so keep in mind that generally only articles by Joshman and Garrett are decks that you see on the video: http://retrodbzccgcom.fatcow.com/category/tcg-articles/deck-list/
i have a bunch of tournament style decks i would love to play one at gen con i would love to be able to post the deck list and get some feed back or just email you the deck list
Can Vegeta the Celestial be obtained in Fusion saga booster packs?
No, that’s a promo card. I want to say he was distributed in an issue of Inquest Magazine.
Is that a card game mag and does that mean he is pretty much impossible to get ahold of now?
It is a card game mag. But he is very easy to get. Just ebay it up and spend a couple bucks. or just proxy him. These days you can get any card foil proxied for about $15.
I have a question about Foil Patterns for certain Ultra Rares. I have noticed some Ultra Rares are limited or unlimited that they are either full foiled are half foiled. Does anyone know which of these is considered to be more valuable, or is there such a thing with every Ultra Rare? Or any of these foil patterns fake or misprinted and have different value? I have seen a few SSJ3 Gokus that have different foil patterns. I am not taking about Alt. Foil, but more so the fullness of the foil pattern of some of these personalities. If anyone has any insight on this please share. Thank You
To my knowledge, the only UR’s that had different foiling was the GT UR’s. All Z UR’s should have the same foiling whether they are limited or unlimited.
To add to what JMan is talking about, for example, I have a Goku SSJ3 Limited with the entire card foil including the body and hair and a Goku SSJ 3 Limited with the entire card foil EXCEPT the body and hair. My question is why are they different where would they come from?? Would you know the answer?? Thanks!
I have a “checkered foil” Piccolo 5 with the numbering UR18 as opposed to the Cell Games Saga numbering. I believe these were prizes from GKI or some sort of event. If that is correct perhaps you have the same sort of thing. *shrug
Would be awesome and of some great help if you would help promote this tournament

I found in my collection a card that isn’t related to the Score CCG game, I can’t even make out the text because it’s all in Japanese. It’s essentially a sticker that’s been laid ontop of the actual card (seemingly as if the sticker is optional to use as a sticker or as the actual card). The sticker is a picture of adult ss2 gohan and it has a gold foil border. Again, the sticker is the same size and shape of the card, they come as one “card” and the sticker can be removed and stuck to something, or just remain as one side of the actual card. Anyone familiar with this?
yea im from East Maitland N.S.W Australia just wondering if some one there could point me towards my closest store that plays DragonBall Z ccg i believe my Freestyle Majin Buu With allies is not so bad need somewhere to play really keen thank you CrazyDave
Any chance you have any of the CRDs from the early sets? I was hoping to build some decks that only go up to the Android saga or somewhere close to there.
