Morning Musume。’14 Oricon Tosho card (2014, mint)
That bromide card is only the tip of the iceberg. I bought several auction lots (of various sizes) of Morning Musume。 bromides, the largest of which also included a considerable number of other L size photos and cards, as well as smaller trading cards.
Combined totals for these lots:
Normal bromides: 135
"Burned" bromides: 43
Unofficial L size photos and cards: 68
Trading cards and similarly sized cards: 124
Here's
part of the largest lot:
For those wondering what the heck a "bromide" is, I'm talking specifically about the cards sold as Morning Musume。 Bromide, of which there were at least nine sets (or "parts"). The "normal" cards were printed on heavy card stock, with a number on the back (the numbers differ in color, depending on the "part"). The "burned" (焼き付け) cards were lower-quality prints on photo paper, not numbered. Both are L size, or twice the size of a regular trading card. The first four parts each consisted of 72 normal and 10 burned. They were mostly sold in random packs of ten: nine normal, one burned.
These recent purchases allowed me to complete Part 3, complete a second set of Part 5, and get all 72 normal cards (plus two of the 13 burned cards) of Part 6. I also got closer to completing Part 4, but I still need five normal cards and one burned card to reach that goal.
