Itachi 396 Posted August 6, 2020 I responded 'yes' because I used to collect them from 1997-1999 while I lived in Japan. I managed to complete the first set, but a box with my most important cards was lost in shipping when I returned to Canada. It was a lot of fun opening all those packets hoping to find the missing cards in my collection at the time. I found the last few I was missing in some local card collector shops. I still have a few unopened packets from that first series in 1997. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,414 Posted August 6, 2020 I clicked no, but I used to have a reasonable amount of cards (may still do, somewhere) from the '90s, from my time living in Japan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supplex55 5 Posted August 8, 2020 I only recently began collecting the cards--was not even aware they existed prior to 2017 when i found a set (2017 series 2) on ebay and purchased it. I was hooked and began trying to collect other cards of my favorites since i began following the sport in the late 90's (Asashoryu, Hakuho, Kaio, Musashimaru, Akebono and Harumafuji) and before long began to try to find sets to purchase as I had caught the bug. Eventually I decided I would try to collect every Modern set of Sumo Cards released by BBM since their debut in 1997. Sets before 2011 were virtually impossible to find already assembled, so I started to piece them together with the help of Sumo Soul and the members of the BBM Sumo Cards Collectors Facebook group. Just last week I completed my last two sets--the 2004 (Hakuho's debut) and the tough 2005 sets with the gracious help of my good friend Paul Fogarty. If anyone would like a look at my collection, it is here: https://imageevent.com/supplex55/supplex55bbmsumocardcollection1997 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chanko Thief 67 Posted August 22, 2020 I wish I had some. Been thinking about collecting for a while now, just haven’t pulled the trigger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shinobi Steve 146 Posted September 11, 2020 Well, I originally voted no. However, I’ve just jumped in and bought some 2020 cards. Now I just have to wait patiently for the mail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
