2012 BBM True Heart Joshi Card Set Checklist and Review

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 2012 BBM True Heart.

Card Set: 2012 BBM True Heart
Release Date: Early 2012
Base Cards in Set: 117 Regular Cards
Cost per Box: 8,400 Yen
Where to Purchase: Third Party Vendors (Buyee, Ebay, etc.)

2012 is a special year for BBM True Heart, as it was the last year that Stardom participated in the set. Starting in 2013, Stardom started releasing their own cards (at least through 2019) and no longer were included in True Heart, which hurt the product a bit as Stardom was (and still is) one of the most popular Joshi promotions in Japan. 2012 also includes the last signed card of Bull Nakano, making it truly a special set. Because of this, the signed cards from 2012 can go for a lot of money, with the most popular autograph cards sometimes selling for between $300 and $500 each. Needless to say, its a popular set.

BBM didn’t go too far outside the box in 2012, as they went with the standard base card, autograph card, or Cheki cards for fans to pull. The autograph cards do not have a set serial number but tend to be between 80 and 100 per card for most of the set. Some wrestlers have at least three cards in the set between their different gimmicks and tag team cards, including Misaki Ohata, Kana, and Ayumi Kurihara. Here is the card checklist:
