There's a similar Satsuki Fujisawa autograph up for auction (it's the horizontal version and has the same drawing), but the Buy It Now price is around $90.<br /><br />The Shining Venus set has some pretty elaborate autographs, too. On the whole, the Japanese autograph game is pretty awesome. I think it helps that most of them are only signing a couple hundred autographs per year for BBM, rather than the hundreds or thousands that athletes sign for Topps and Panini.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-32545602094067298902017-02-25T15:18:33.789-07:002017-02-25T15:18:33.789-07:00I could probably help you with getting at least a ...I could probably help you with getting at least a base set. I've got a shipment coming in from Japan in the next few weeks, and the base sets don't go for a whole lot on Yahoo! Auctions.<br /><br />I'll definitely have to check out curling at the next Olympics. I'll be able to root for both the U.S. and Japanese curling teams.<br /><br />I did get a couple of good autographs in this box. Looking at pictures online, most autographs from this set don't appear to be as elaborate as these two.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-55758555795871714252017-02-25T15:13:31.479-07:002017-02-25T15:13:31.479-07:00I thought it would be relaxing to watch, but there...I thought it would be relaxing to watch, but there was too much shouting in the clips I watched.

But I am. Those autographs are awesome! I love how so many of these Japanese athletes take pride in having old school... awesome signatures.

I heard about this set about a year ago, but I'd never seen any images until now... Looks like a nice set.<br /><br />The Japanese women may not have medaled in Sochi, but they exceeded expectations and they were a whole lot of fun to watch because they were clearly enjoying the heck out of the experience.<br /><br />Those autograph cards are great... I like the doodled curling stone on Satsuki Fujisawa's card.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-34915982903424204802017-02-21T16:17:21.802-07:002017-02-21T16:17:21.802-07:00I love it!

This is BBM's first venture into curling, although they have several single cards of curlers in the BBM Baseball First Pitch Inserts and in the Real Venus sets. This set came out about a year ago in Feb 2016. This is on my list of sets to pick up one day when I come across it.SumoMenkoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461389544030702085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6974740724487938002.post-66070411783835320412017-02-21T06:06:37.021-07:002017-02-21T06:06:37.021-07:00This set cracks me up.
