Imported from Japan. These Sumo Trading Cards are based on the March 2024 tournament rankings and were issued May 2024. This is the second series of Sumo Trading Cards for 2024 and is named Hibiki (Sound or Echo). Each pack contains 6 random cards. The complete set has all 42 top division (Makuuchi) wrestlers, 10 gyoji/yobidashi (referee/caller), 20 Shikona, 6 Inheritance, 2 new Ozeki, and 1 first championship card for a base set total of 81.
There are also 5 different insert cards called Treasure. These are special, random inserts for the top wrestlers with a limited print of 25 cards each wrestler. There are Treasure cards for Terunofuji, Kirishima, Hoshoryu, Takakeisho, and Kotonowaka.
There are also a variety of different Autographed cards. One is included randomly across every few boxes (20 packs per box for a total of 120 cards per box). The following wrestlers provided Autographs for this series: Kotonowaka, Kotozakura, Wakamotoharu, Asanoyama, Onosato, Ichiyamamoto, Shimazuumi, Churanoumi, and Kitanowaka. Gyoji Kimura Shonosuke also has an Autograph card as well as Yobidashi Jiro and Katsuyuki.
Most of the text on the cards is in Japanese, however, the wrestler's English language name is also on the card for those who don't speak Japanese.
You can find a list of all the wrestlers here in English and Japanese.
As a bonus, we include Ultra Pro clear card sleeves to protect your cards. If you do not wish to receive card sleeves please add the No Sleeves item to your cart.
Once again we will be offering a limited number of Full Base Sets. Each Full Base Set contains all cards numbered 1 through 81 already removed from the package and inserted into protective sleeves. Will not include any autograph or special insert cards nor include the box. This Full Base Set option is for those who want all of the base set cards without having to trade.
Empty boxes will be available separately for those who collect boxes or want the card checklist which is on the bottom. This Empty Collector Box is the same box you receive when you order a full box.
Happy Collecting.
