Japanese BBM Sumo cards

[sthoemke]

I have a small collection, but most is in storage and unsorted. The sets are kind of tough to collect in the US. I've sent a small quantity of the earlier sets (1997-2000) to COMC. I think the marority of my sales have come from Japanese buyers.

If you ever dig them out, keep me in mind for 2004-05 cards.

I saw you recently added a few more from 2000 BBM to the COMC site. I have just a handful I am looking for from the years you seem to have stock from. I am missing only 3 base cards (from 2004 and 2005) along with a few inserts from 2001 and 2003 Please let me know if you have even 1 of these as it will help me inch closer to completion.

Could you let me know if you have any of the following I am looking for to finish off my sets from 1997-2000? 1998 (West) #97 and 125 1999 (Upper) #65 and 165 I did not see you list any from the 1999 (Lower) series, but I am looking for #25 and 31. Finally from 2000 I am looking for #29, 172,173 and 177. Please let me know if you have even 1 of these as it will help me inch closer to completion.

Cards 169-177 are a subset of the 2000 set. I honestly can't remember why I haven't sent any of those cards in. Either I didn't have them, or I thought they were worth keeping and packed them away.

169-177 from the 2000 BBM Sumo set are short-printed (compared to the rest of the base set) and feature a "Goodbye Wakanohana" subset honoring the retiring Yokozuna.

I live in Japan and bought a few packs of BBM sumo cards in the early 2000s, but could never commit to it (decided to stick with baseball since its what I know best, though I'm a sumo fan too. Happy to see Hakuho get his 43rd championship the other day).

Ryan here would be a good person to hit up if you haven't already, he's probably the most knowledgable person on the subject of sumo cards on the planet (and does trades):
