Anyone seen these before? I try to collect obscure stuff, but I think they are knockoffs...? Anyone know? What the hell is "Ideal" that is on the bottom right of the cards?

They're French releases. You'll see Japanese packaging with Bandai on it, too.

I guess those are Canadian packages because they are bilingual. French packages usually had French only (I got a few). There used to be bilingual Spanish/French and English/German packages too, got a few of them as well. At the very beginning there were Italian only packages as well. I still have my 1988 Splinter, Shredder and April O' Neil cards fully translated into Italian. I bet they are quite rare to see today.
