Later this month, BBM is releasing a Shining Venus set (similar to Real Venus sets I believe) staring Japanese female athletes from a multitude of sports.  On thing I find interesting is the vast array of sports represented here: sport climbing, unicycling (yes, I said unicycling), BMX, weightlifting, swimming, table tennis, skateboarding, keirin (competitive short-track bicycle racing), basketball, karate, and so on.  Wow, talk about some niche sports here. Retail on these is 1 pack with 5 cards for ￥300 or a box with 20 packs for ￥6000.  You can preorder them on Rakuten for ￥5400 right now.





Some of the athletes are putting in signed Valentine cards with messages....just in time for the romantic holiday in February as well as some Happy New Year cards!!





Anyone thinking about ordering any of these?
