Product Numbering & Bar Code Verification of Phantom Plarail Sets

If it is a company policy to keep their past material and archives confidential from the people outside their organisation, totally understood.

True that some material has not been excavated until now. These material aren’t even on the catalogues and it took many people to dig it out. Some rumours are confirmed, and some of them still unconfirmed. Though most of their content are mentioned in official prints, the remaining content is never mentioned but are still sold anyway (like the Tenjin Subway, the Keihanshin Set, yellow Highway Bus, yellow and black plastic SL (hand rolled), green tank car (hand rolled), and many more).

We have to keep in mind that information before the 90s are stored by paperwork as World Wide Web didn’t exist yet. This means that information is never widespread, especially those sets that were manufactured for only 1 year. The only time those sets are mentioned are by collectors/old timers who have fond memories of the item in question. For example, the rumour of Keihanshin Set was never confirmed until in 2012 where it appeared in auctions, however the front box is missing. Then in 2020, the set appeared again and the box was revealed for the first time ever.
