1) Of the Vending Series of cards, which of these were made by winners of the "Draw a Pokémon" Contest? (Snorlax and Poliwrath are obvious, but...)

2) Is anyone/any company making reprints of those "Draw a Pokémon" Contest cards that KidsWB sponsored?

Because I'm not sure what the "these" you're referring to are in question one, I can't help you with that, but as for the second part, the answer is no, no cards are ever allowed to be reprinted in the exact same form, and only one entity is allowed to print legal Pokemon cards in general, so anyone that claims another company has is trying to pass off a fake.
 
I am talking about which Vending Series Cards have art made by the winners of the certain "Draw a Pokémon for the Vending Series" Contest (like Snorlax and Poliwrath).

But still, thank you for responding.

i'm fairly sure that if PUSA wanted to make exact reprints of cards, they'd do it. ;)

When they actually do, let me know. Until then, I'm pretty sure that the guys in charge say no to being able to reprint them. ;) Hopefully you understood the context I was using it in...

um, if by reprints do you mean a card that was in 1 set being reprinted and made to another. if so you are incorrect. look at the trainers, especially from the dp series. plus power, switch, dusk ball and bebe are just some of the many that have been exact reprints except for the collector symbol in the corner

No, it is not what I meant (are people not reading the original post or do I need to be more detailed in my explainations?). A reprint would be an exact duplicate of the card (which is what it sounded like the OP was looking for). When they change around things (i.e. the image, definition, set, etc) it's not really a reprint/duplicate as much as a rerelease/modification. It's more than just a collectors symbol, it also determines whether the card is allowed in competative play. ;)

this is an example of a reprint. the cards are identical. also see if you can pick which card is allowed in competitive play. 1 is from a rotated set and the other not. but wait, they are both legal. why, because it is a reprint

You may want to get your eyes checked. They aren't identical: the proportions are different, the layout is different, the image is different, the series is different, the number is different. While the description is the same (which is why it can be used), but the cards are not identical. If they were, it would be a reprint, but it's not.

Regardless, I'm still unsure if you're getting the big picture. The OP is obviously looking for collecting purposes (based on this thread and his other ones), so if he's looking for a copy of the original printing, I don't think he's looking for a re-release. I'm not sure how else to explain it for you...

EDIT: Maybe this will help.

I was not talking of a card of one set being placed into another; I was talking of a card of which more copies have been made.

By the way, I am somewhat of a collector, yet I would also play with the cards I collected. I just focus on old sets because
1) I am rather out-of-date
2) I had good memories of old sets
3) I have odd interests.
 
I have WB cards. They were from the KidsWB Creator pack. I have:

Treecko
Wurmple
Mudkip
Torchic.

The last one was Pikachu, but that's gone. :p

This was way back, they're not legal in tournaments, and the WB cards were around when EX Sandstorm was out.
