All the way from Fukuoka....

(I have no idea what title Tuffy is supposed to be warring over, the back doesn't really give any hints)


2008 BBM Touch The Game #053
(One of the greatest players ever owned?  Even BBM's premium offering suffers from liberal use of Engrish.)

(I'm not sure of the whole set is metallic like this, or "kira" as they seem to call it in Japan, or just the copies I got.)

          I'd won two lots of 18 Tuffy Rhodes cards on Yahoo! Auction Japan (via KuboTEN), and out of 36 total cards, got lots of dupes and 11 cards I needed. This also means I have several available for trade. I'd love to work out some deals with any other Tuffy collectors out there!

          They guy has several more lots of Tuffy cards, but I guess I did a particularly bad job of choosing to get that many dupes.  In any case, the arrival of this bunch cleared my "incoming" list and paved the way for making my first order with Mitchael-Trading.com (who, BTW, are selling a copy of the 1992 Score 100 Superstars set for the low, low price of ONLY ¥63,000!  Be careful, now, don't push!).
