Japanese BBM Sumo cards

[supplex55]

Thanks Sean----I was aware of Ryan's great work in gathering all the information on Sumo/Menko cards, though i have not yet picked one up. Sumo cards are so esoteric, that values are difficult to assess--particularly on sets that are very infrequently sold on the usual Japanese/US websites (Ebay, Yahoo Japan, Mercari, Jambalaya and Amazon Japan). I would suspect that the values assigned in the now defunct SCM are not representative of current sales of the tougher BBM sets and inserts. There has been a bit of a swell of interest in the hobby with the advent of the BBM Sumo Card Collectors Facebook group in the past few years, with many Sumo enthusiasts from all over the world joining the hobby (myself included). Might you have any cards to trade or sell? I am only missing 3 base cards--2004 #14,64 and 2005 #65....

Been awhile and wanted to update this thread---with a great deal of help--much of it from the BBM Sumo Card Collectors Facebook group, I was finally able to complete all of the BBM Modern Sumo sets from 1997 forward. If you have an interest in finding/trading/buying Sumo cards, this would be a great place to start: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1630250003925942/

Congrats on completing that set run, and thanks for the link to the group!
