2006 BBM True Heart Joshi Card Set Checklist and Review

2006 True Heart Box

In my collection I have a wide variety of Joshi card sets from over the years, many of which do not have a card list anywhere on the Internet. So I hope to slowly add more of them to Joshi City, with the next set being 2006 BBM True Heart.

Card Set: 2006 BBM True Heart
Release Date: Early 2006
Base Cards in Set: 108 Regular Cards + 9 Subset Cards
Cost per Box: 8,400 Yen
Where to Purchase: Third Party Vendors (Buyee, Ebay, etc.)

2006 mimicked the 2005 set in a lot of ways, including the number of cards in the base set as well as having nine “Catch the Rainbow” subset cards. Also like 2005, the front of the card shows most of the wrestlers in casual attire and the back shows the wrestler in-action in the ring.  This year, the front of the card has the wrestler’s stats (birthday, height, weight, etc.) and the back of the card has a brief paragraph about the wrestler.

The base set is 108 cards, plus nine cards in the “Catch the Rainbow” subset. In addition, all the wrestlers in the regular base set have autograph cards (with the exception of Mirai as she passed away before the set was made). The autograph cards have a wide range of how many were made per wrestler, and are not the standard /90 to /100 that we see in more modern sets. Like in 2005, 2006 was still in the “dark ages” of Joshi Puroresu, after AJW and GAEA Japan both closed and in general Joshi had fallen out of mainstream wrestling in Japan. Still, a lot of wrestlers in the set are well known by fans today as there is a nice combination of veterans and young wrestlers that later turned into stars. Beyond the “Catch the Rainbow” subset, the base set also includes the inserts “Thank you for the Memories” (for Mirai, who had passed away), “Forever” (for retiring wrestlers), “in Another Situation”, and “Ladies on Film” to give the cards some variety. The Catch the Rainbow subset has two card versions: a regular Silver version and a Gold version that is serial numbered to 200.

The card set also has other special inserts, including Kiss Cards and Costume Cards. There are a total of six Kiss Cards and two Memorabilia cards in the set, however I have not been able to find a full listing for which wrestlers are featured. If I find additional information on other special cards I will update this page.

Here is the card checklist:

Red = Thank you for the Memories
Blue = Forever (for Retiring Wrestlers)
