1. So, are you still trading? I saw you have a store now.
2. I saw you don't ship internationally in your eCrater store but I would like to buy something. Can you sell to me?
3. How does a trade work?
4. Do you have feedback I can check?
Also, I think most of the people in my link list can remember who I am and give testimonials -- if their sites are still up. ;)

Ninety-five percent of these scans are from my own collections. I've credited all those scans that I stole through the years.

Yes, I'm still trading! While there aren't many cards I'm really looking for for Sailor Moon, I am still missing some hard to find cards (though I'm expecting if they ever come up, I'd likely have to purchase them, not trade for them). Just like before, if you're interested in a trade, please email me and we can work it out.
Yes. The only reason I disabled international selling on the store was because I didn't want to have to set postage rates for something I do rarely. Please contact me like it's a trade and I'll see what I can do for you.
Standard trading operation: If you contacted me first, you send first, and vice versa. If we've traded before, we send about the same time. Obviously, if you're buying, you send payment first regardless of who contacted whom. I also reserve the right to check your feedback/reputation with other traders.
Yep. Feel free to check out my feedback as well - I have nothing to hide:
Yahoo (Now defunct, but I had about 50 positives and no negs.)
eBay
Bidville
Epier
MLPTP (have to be a logged in member to see it).
The only things you may call a "fake" are the Hong Kong (marked with an HK) reprints of Graffiti and Carddass cards. These aren't, strictly speaking, fake, but many collectors will be highly upset if you sell them HK cards and not cards marked "Made in Japan" on the backs. Compare the front and back of Graffiti #259 and the front and back of Carddass #370 for the differences between HK and Japanese releases.
I have a few poster prisms and some real fakes lingering, but on the whole, my stock has been pulled straight from the box and pack by me.
Fakes are generally a lower print and color quality, with mismatched backs. One of the most common sets I see as fakes is the wedding set. Compare the front of these wedding cards. The fake lacks the die cut corners and pop out hearts of this set, and is a prismatic sticker with some additional text slapped on the front for good measure.
The foils for Japanese cards generally have a small, boxy prism pattern, not swirls or stars or circles or lines (though some of the more recent series have broken this tradition.) When I came into this hobby online, there was much angst over hard versus soft prisms - hard prisms being those foils that are not stickers, and the soft prisms being the stickers. Don't be surprised, then, if you find a legitimate looking Japanese foil to be a sticker - it's authentic.
There are some high quality fakes from Taiwan, the "poster prism" series, which is almost too nice to be lumped with the fakes. There is also a similar set that uses images from the manga. Both are not licensed series, however pretty they are, but they go for a decent price and many people collect them.
There are also a few oddball fakes I've come across over the years. One is plastic and see through, like a peeled Carddass W, but the plastic is textured. The other is glow in the dark (I bought it just because it's the only such card I'd ever seen before.)
I rescued the official PDF rulebook from the Premiere Edition. You may view and/or download it here. Note that this does not have information on the function of Location cards, which are only found in the Past and Future expansion.The CCG Workshop had a text version of the P&F rulebook, as transcribed by Tuxedo Rainbow. This site has subsequently died, but fear not, I salvaged THIS too. ;)
Dart Flipcards produced the cards. Gameplay was designed by Guardians of Order.
They really explain it better than I can.
These are some general scenarios from the game.
Section Four of the CCG FAQ has tricky Monster, Villain, Person, Item, Event, and Scout/Knight card effects explained.
Section Five of the CCG FAQ goes through some tricky card combo scenarios.
You crazy person you... Section Six goes through some really bare bones tournament ideas. Basically they want ALL foil cards proxied, minimum deck size is 60, and a max of four each of the non-power cards. I do not know how this applies to the mixed power cards released in the P&F set. Sailor Pluto is officially limited to one per deck, but I am unsure if any other cards were later restricted as well.
If you're interested in using a scan or two for your site, I'd appreciate you giving me a heads up. I know I can't prevent you from taking them, but if you're putting them on your own reference site please include the credits and do not hotlink the pictures. I'm not an idiot...I can tell when you lifted half my scans without asking. *cough*
