Today’s four items cross several eras and categories of Japanese collecting — a metal bottle cap from the country’s vintage supercar craze, a character strap from one of Japan’s best-known animal toy brands, and a pair of small-format cards from the earliest years of Pokemon merchandise.
Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina Coca-Cola Bottle Cap
A metal crown cap from a Coca-Cola bottle, printed with an image of the Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina and labeled “Supercar.” Caps like these were collected by children across Japan during the late 1970s, when European sports cars sparked a nationwide phenomenon known as the Supercar Boom.

About This Collection
The two Pocket Monster GB Mini Cards sit alongside a pair of items that reflect Japan’s long tradition of character-driven small collectibles — the kind designed to be carried, traded, or displayed without taking up much space. From the Supercar Boom of the 1970s to the Pokemon years of the 1990s, each piece here marks a distinct moment in that ongoing culture.
