2017 BBM True Heart Joshi Card Set Checklist and Review

Kevin | 10/11/2020 | Joshi Cards | No Comments

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 2017 BBM True Heart.

Card Set: 2017 BBM True Heart
Release Date: Early 2017
Base Cards in Set: 135 Regular Cards
Cost per Box: 8,000 Yen
Where to Purchase: Third Party Vendors (Buyee, Ebay, etc.)

In 2017, True Heart had perhaps one of the “simplest” sets in the history of the series. There are no kiss cards, memorabilia cards, or low serial number regular autograph cards which they had experimented with in the past. They did have Cheki autograph cards however, which are a nice inclusion and give hardcore fans something to chase since they are rare and serial numbered to 10 or less. A Cheki is a Polaroid picture that is signed by the wrestler, making them really 1/1 as every Cheki is different as they are each a different real-life picture.

For newer fans, 2017 is a fun set as it has early cards of some popular wrestlers today. Wrestlers that at the time were still early in their careers but hadn’t fully blossomed (such as Sareee, Yuka Sakazaki, Riho, Konami, and ASUKA) are all sought-after cards to collect in the current Joshi card scene. 2017 also has the first card of Hana Kimura, who tragically passed away in 2020 right as her popularity was peaking. The set desperately needs something extra for fans to hope to pull as they are busting open packs as there are few surprises, but with the inclusion of younger stars there is still some interest in 2017 boxes among current fans. Here is the card checklist:
