Well it’s been awhile since I updated, been very busy with… just enjoying the summer really! But that’s winding down I fear. Every year I look forward to the local Japanese Matsuri,  Bon Odori and the Ginza festivals,  but they also mark the end of summer so now, Fall is upon us.

I was about to announce that I have some Charamide Cel cards available! Imagine my disappointment when I opened the package to see that they were fakes! I bought them from a trusted longtime source, I sent that source an email yesterday to inform them and ask for a refund (no word back yet). So your probably wonder’n, how can you spot a fake Cel card? Well it turns out it’s not too hard in this case, you see they were simply copied with an ink-jet printer on a transparency like you would use for an overhead projector. The plastic is smoky and has a definite grain to it. As webmaster Cain ( Dreaming Moon ) pointed out they also have square corners, all true Charamide Cels have radius corners. Here’s the kicker though the ink was not color fast on plastic! They arrived all stuck together, the ink had transferred front to back like glue. So Beware they are out there and darn hard to spot in an auction photo. I will keep you updated on the refund and whether or not my trust in this vendor is warranted.

On this the second anniversary of her passing, 6/18/10

It still saddens me.

I did not make this video, but it is one of my favorites.

“Only moving on”

The entire “Extras” list has been reset. Only the cards from the new lot are highlighted in blue. New Sailor Moon  Carddass EX, Pull Pack, Banpresto, Graffiti, Marusho, Morinaga, Nissui, and N. American cards too! Some are already reserved, You guys must check the lists pretty often. You beat the announcement.

Hi, This last lot of cards (700 or so) primarily consisted of Banpresto, Graffiti, Carddass, Hero & Pull Pack cards, so I took the opportunity to make up some full and reg. sets. I have created  a new page listing all the sets I have available.  Here

In addition there are new singles from those sets. I will be removing the blue highlights from all the cards posted earlier this year and highlighting only the new cards from the newest lot (later this week). The lot also consisted of a small number of more rare cards, stand by for the new post!

ACEN is    HERE,    May 14-16. Hope to see you there! Just time for a smallish update this weekend before I go (might not respond to emails between the 13-16th).

This time I have new Sailor Moon Carddass EX-3 prisms and Carddass Half cards (lots of Carddass Half EX cards), some Sailor Moon Banpresto Twin Character cards, Marusho SuperS Real seal (embossed), N. American Dart Prismatic cards and Cardzillion set 1 & 3 too.  Hmmm not so smallish after all!

Some have asked “when will the next large update be”? Pretty soon as it turns out. Looks like I will be receiving a lot of about 700 cards mid June. I’ll give you a heads up a few days early.

This week I’ve got a smaller update for you but the first two are not often seen. Sailor Moon Sera Myu Mugen Gakuen Complete Reg. sets. To call these cards regular is a disservice. This is a 90 card set with beautiful full color photos on both sides. 180 snapshots of stage action from one of the most popular Myu’s. I have most of the Holos for this set too.

The second is a Sailormoon World CGC Near-complete Reg. set. This set consists of 104 cards (only 1 regular card missing) I have just completed my set of these cards and will not be ordering any more. This Near complete set will make an excellent beginning for your CGC collection. I also have some Foils and a sensational Queen Serenity Promo to offer.

Next, Dart North American, Premiere Edition CCG and Past and Future CCG Reg. sets. A great way to obtain the full reg sets for much less than the purchase price of a booster box. And as some of you might know a Premiere Edition booster box may not even contain a full reg set, and only Three or four foils, leaving you to purchase the rest anyway. I have some Foils and Promos to offer in these sets as well.

You will see all my sets listed with the single cards on the Extras list

Ja mata ne!

New Sailor Moon North American CCG Cards,  Sailormoon  Past & Future and Unlimited Base Sets. I just Received my Past & Future Booster box! That means I have almost all of the cards from P&F as well as the Unlimited Base sets available, most at only $0.10 ea. I know times are tough but for a couple of dollars you can plug those holes in your collection. Oh yeah, I guess I have a very pretty, darn near mint box available and some free (empty) foil packs too. (first come first serve).

This month I want to highlight a favorite site of mine,  CMC Crystal Millennium of Cards. This site is a classic and has been very helpful to me on a regular basis. Here you will find information on almost all Sailor Moon cards but Web Mistress Novadestin exhibits an unapologetic preference for the North American cards she started collecting from vending machines. Her expertise with these cards manifests it’s self in the most comprehensive listing of images and information on North American Sailormoon cards you will find anywhere on the net. There are also tips for collectors and a page dedicated to trading card vocabulary. Along with pages like Sailor Moon sightings and little known facts and don’t miss “Saban Moon”.  Stop in and have a look!

I’ve just spent the last three days sorting and listing over 2,000 Sailor Moon cards. >.< You can find them on the extras page, as promised it has been reconfigured. All the cards highlighted in blue have been acquired by me this year. The cards I received are mainly from the major sets such as… Sailor Moon Hero, Sailor Moon Graffiti, Sailor Moon Pull Pack, Sailor Moon Carddass and Sailor Moon Banpresto but there are also some lesser sets like Sailor Moon Battle Private, Bandai Sailor Moon Girls Festival cards and quite a few individual gems like Sailor Moon Pull Pack Special Prism Set singles. So please have a look!

Hi guys, I thought I would take the opportunity to answer some questions I’ve been getting about the site (while I await my latest shipment).
“why is it so dark?”,
“where are the pretty pictures of the senshi?”
“why is Luna so creepy?”
The answers stem from a concept I started thinking about a few years ago. Sailor Moon, the movie. A real “live action” Hollywood movie. With a real budget, what would it be like to be awakened from your sleep by a talking cat? To be told you are “chosen” to be a 14 year old warrior for justice? How would you react?
This is the atmosphere I hoped to create with the Luna image. I think with out a doubt Tim Burton is the man to direct this movie, the rest I will leave to your imagination. I’m sure as time goes by I will brighten up the site a lil but right now I like it. It is the least colorful Sailor Moon site on the net! Yosh!

News from Japan, another large lot of Sailor Moon Cards are headed my way (really large), It will take a while to list them so those of you who are subscribers or on the  RSS feed will be the first to know.

That means I will soon white out all the blue highlighted cards (most recently acquired) on my extras list.  All the new additions will be highlighted in blue to make browsing for them that much faster. If you haven’t looked at the list in a couple of months you might want to  have a look now before the change.

Thanks go out this month to webmaster Cain At Dreaming Moon for allowing me to link some images on my “Wants list”. He’s extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of our beloved senshi and an authority on Sailor Moon merchandise. Dreaming Moon is beautifully crafted and has become the “go to” English language site for card info and images.  Kudos!
