It just reminds me of a lot of those old 1980s/1990s objectification swimwear card sets that were released alongside the Pepsi, Hot Wheels, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles packs.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657985600764530650.post-28279566004782331382020-01-21T07:13:34.177-08:002020-01-21T07:13:34.177-08:00Not to mention the "Fitness Bikini" woma...Not to mention the "Fitness Bikini" womanNPB Card Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178497208404127283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657985600764530650.post-68258511840632627172020-01-21T07:09:24.989-08:002020-01-21T07:09:24.989-08:00I was thinking how good this could be as a game in...I was thinking how good this could be as a game in my English class.

But as I just mentioned to NPB Card Guy, I could see them tossing a girl into the Shining Venus set who plays four square.<br /><br />BBM is so stagnant with nearly everything. It's been quite a while since they've had something good and oddball. I like Infinity and Fusion and the Heisei set was nice, but there hasn't been an obscure-sport team set in a while... no golf, no gymnastics, no badminton...Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657985600764530650.post-68576431912938276082020-01-21T07:06:57.047-08:002020-01-21T07:06:57.047-08:00Tangents.

Actually, it has a lot of different names, depending on where you are, too. But, alas, there is no professional league. That doesn't mean BBM won't include a four square player in next year's Shining Venus set, if they can find a cute enough girl to participate. They have a unicyclist and an exerciser (I forget her actual title), after all.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657985600764530650.post-84455509425249793172020-01-20T23:17:09.981-08:002020-01-20T23:17:09.981-08:00I usually play a few games of 4 square each summer...I usually play a few games of 4 square each summer with my 5th graders.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-657985600764530650.post-25375343082984167192020-01-20T22:19:56.474-08:002020-01-20T22:19:56.474-08:00Ha, BBM produces a lot of card set, I wouldn’t put...Ha, BBM produces a lot of card set, I wouldn’t put it past them for a 4 Square set. Man, I wish there were sumo sets and cards like this. BBM is so stagnant with sumo card originality. Nice pick ups for sure.
