Recent BBM and newer Korean released Lee Seung-yuop pickups

This year has been a slow progression as I havent been able to find a lot of older Lee cards. In the last few months I have picked up some 2022 releases from the Bucky Nine Legend of Heritage and SCC Legend sets, but only the bases and parallels, still needing most of the expensive low serialed cards. There is a SCC Legend Galactic /10 for sale but the seller is wanting about 380,000 won ($293) for it, a bit more than I want to pay. I think I also saw the SCC Legend /1 for 1,500,000 won ($1,150).

Here are the 2022 Bucky Nine Legend of Heritage and SCC Legend base and parallels:











The reason I'm writing this post is for the following cards. BBM, the Japanese card company that established itself in 1991, often has facsimile signature parallel cards of a few different designs/colors. These are usally numbered /100, /50 and /25. The parallels can be Holo Foil Signature (usually /50), Red Signature (usually /25), Silver Signature (/100 or unnumbered) and Gold Signature (usually /100). As I mentioned, I havent seen these for sale, until last week. I did a search for Lee cards on Korean cafes and found one sale post that had multiple facsimile autos I needed. These were sold in lots, some of the cards I didnt need, some had one or two facsimile autos I needed, so I jumped on them RIGHT AWAY. What's strange/ironic is that the seller is someone who bought Lee cards from me before, I just didnt realize it was him until I messaged him with my interest and saw our previous conversation pop up. Here are the facsimile autos I needed and will be subbed to PSA for the Master Set Registry. They are from 2007, 2008 and 2010, all on the Yomiuri Giants.


2007 BBM Gold Signature #343 /100


2007 BBM Silver Signature #343


2008 BBM Yomiuri Giants Red Signature #G049 /25


2010 BBM Yomiuri Giants Gold Signature #G047 /100


2010 BBM Yomiuri Giants Red Signature #G047 /25




I'm thrilled to have picked up these 5 facsimile autos but there are still several more I need to buy that I didn't realize were made. I am working on a want list for that and will post it on my Instagram and Twitter to hopefully find someone who would sell me what I need.



Lastly, there are three Samsung Lions Lee Seung-yuop 3D cards were also in this purchase but I dont have their front and backs in an image together at the moment. They arent in the best condition but I had never seen them for sale, which was another reason I had to jump on this sales post. Maybe I will share them in another post later.
