I am trying to complete all six series of the Famicon set.

On my other blog I did a post a few years ago about some Amada cards I bought which are pretty sweet: https://famicomblog.blogspot.jp/search/label/Amida%20Famicom%20Mini%20Cards Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518701523327984819.post-19304009001553243122018-05-09T03:33:44.467-07:002018-05-09T03:33:44.467-07:00It astonishing how many old tobacco cards are stil...It astonishing how many old tobacco cards are still at auction. Millions and millions of them must have been produced...and millions upon millions of people smoking. These are the only tobacco cards I collect, but I do collect 1970s Japanese mini cards with the same subjects as you collect. I love trains, planes, and automobiles. And if there are video games on the cards, well game over. I have to have those too!SumoMenkoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461389544030702085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518701523327984819.post-47938332138718643782018-05-09T03:31:36.099-07:002018-05-09T03:31:36.099-07:00It is interesting to see the different ways differ...It is interesting to see the different ways different cultures smoked. And what is even more interesting, all cultures seemed to have smoked. Tobacco has crossed cultures. I am not a fan of cigarettes. I am pretty sure I reduced my life expectancy living in Japan from all the cigarette smoke.SumoMenkoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461389544030702085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518701523327984819.post-18481691905483020772018-05-09T03:30:13.854-07:002018-05-09T03:30:13.854-07:00Thanks.

Some of them are actually way more interesting than sports cards and are quite cheaper too, I love the variety of subject matter on them (anything with ships, airplanes, trains, cars or other interesting subject matter is on my want list)Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5518701523327984819.post-51513894990167041872018-05-08T12:26:20.552-07:002018-05-08T12:26:20.552-07:00Oh man... these are awesome!
