Personal Collection: Juicy Honey 10: Haruka Itoh - Honey Jersey Type B

Showcasing my own personal collection:

This is a Honey Jersey Type B of Haruka Itoh from Juicy Honey 10. Earlier Juicy Honey sets are known for more natural and less photoshopped designs but Juicy Honey 10 decided to change that. The entire background of the card is photoshopped with a green dotted overlay- making Haruka pop out. The swatch hole is a circle that is bordered by a very thick white border which is then bordered by a thin lime green border (all being circles). The information is vertical rather than horizontal on the right which makes room for the swatch's borders and more room for Haruka. Interestingly, the info includes not just about the swatch but Haruka's personal info as well. Going back to the swatch, it is filled with a thick light yellow and white design that is on Haruka's jersey- making this swatch quite desirable. Focusing on Haruka, she is not nude but is showing off her jersey and her legs. Her pose is very casual but a bit suggestive. Her smile is soft and calm. The card's condition is of great quality!
When I was getting out of my rookie stages, I was able to get Juicy Honey 10 base cards. This is where I first met Haruka Itoh. She stood out to me at first. I still don't know why but it became my mission to get a rare of her (later, any rare from this set). Sadly, it is almost impossible to find any rares or even base/sps of Juicy Honey 10. It took me 6 months, more or less, to finally find some rares of Juicy Honey 10! I was filled with joy. Especially cause I was able to get a few. If you have any Juicy Honey 10 cards, I recommend to treasure them. They are hard to find. 

Personal Collection: Juicy Honey Yuma Asami Premium Edition '09: Yuma Asami - Honey Jersey Type H

Showcasing my own personal collection:

This is a Honey Jersey Type H of Yuma Asami from Juicy Honey Yuma Asami Premium Edition '09. This is a unique design as they add two body shot images of Yuma rather than the usual one. Both Yumas, though, share that same beautiful smile that can make anyone feel good. The Yuma on the right shows off her body- her breasts and crotch visible from the see-through green "jersey". The Yuma on the left however, is showing the backside of her. She cheerfully shows her rear and the bottom "jersey" along with it. The card's design uses constrasing colors: red and green. Yet, it works well due to how they use the green on the red and what color the green is. Something to take note is that the green matches the Yuma's "jersey". Getting to the swatch, it is visibly thin but there'sa  thicker line close to the left. The card's condition is like new!
I seriously love the design of the card. The card is unique from many swatch cards I have seen. The two Yumas are what makes it truly eye popping. While most Juicy Honey cards do feature two photos, one on each side, they don't have them in the same side. I pulled this card from Yuma's Premium Edition box which I was very happy but surprised! I didn't know they had a Type H for anything.

Personal Collection: Juicy Honey 8: Azusa Itagaki - Honey Jersey Type A

Showcasing my own personal collection:

This is from Juicy Honey 8, Azusa Itagaki in her Honey Jersey Type A. Starting off with the swatch and the swatch hole, The hole is a circle that has a very thick brown border. Although the brown border is an overlay on Azusa's picture. The border is then bordered by a white rounded leaf style. The swatch is a smooth thin cut of Azusa's jersey. Going to added design, the card has a dot/bubble design that fades into the photo. Azusa's image is of her sitting while making a cute and slightly silly face; making her approachable and playful. The card is in great condition.
Azusa's card is not the most exciting card but still a great card to have! The design is simple enough but I think it is the model herself who makes it. She has a cute face that looks playful. Her pose is a bit suggestive towards the bottom- how she positioned her legs. I really like Azusa and had trouble finding a card of her. Glad to be able to get this one! :)) 

Personal Collection: Juicy Honey 4: Hatsumi Kudo - Honey Jersey Type F

Showcasing my own personal collection:

This is Hatsumi Kudo in her Honey Jersey Type F from Juicy Honey 4. This card design is quite interesting and different from most of their designs. They used two different Hatsumi photos and put them together to make a unique and sensual feeling card. The close-up of her shows off the beauty of her face. Her lips are shiny and desirable. The other photo is of a body shot of her wearing the Honey Jersey with a boob showing. Her face there shows a desire for something...It's up to the viewer on what it is. The rest is very basic but plays well with the card. The swatch is (in my opinion) the best swatch for this card. Exactly in the middle, a heart. The card's condition is good!
I love Hatsumi Kudo! This is the second card of her (and sadly last for now) I have. I instantly loved the swatch and the photos used for the card. It's very beautiful...When I saw it, I knew I had to get no matter what! I was fortunate and won the card. This card might be one of my all-time favorite rares that I have.

Personal Collection: Juicy Honey Premium Edition 2009: Megu Fujiura - Honey Jersey Type E

Showcasing my own personal collection:

This is Megu Fujiura's Honey Jersey Type E from Juicy Honey Premium Edition 2009. The card starts off with a paler light blue and a vibrant yellow! The blue is in a granite-like texture while being bordered by a thick darker pale blue. The yellow is consistent but fades into Megu's picture. The design of this is a unique choice but it looks well with Megu as her "jersey" is the same color as the blue. Megu's picture is quite cute! While she is not nude, she has an alluring pose with an adorable expression. The swatch (in a square shape) is a thin and smooth lingerie. The card's quality is quite nice!
I pulled this card out from a sealed box of this set not too long ago (a few months or so). I really like Megu because I simply think she is a cutie. Her first set, Juicy Honey 11, was my favorite set with her in it. She was so playful and sweet looking! I think she was ahead of her time with the cuteness trope. In this set, she seems to be more sensual. This card isn't my favorite one from Premium Edition 2009 nor of Megu Fujiura, but I do like it nonetheless.

Personal Collection: Juicy Honey Special Edition Maria Ozawa: Maria Ozawa - Honey Jersey Type A

Showcasing my own personal collection:

This is Marai Ozawa in her Honey Jersey Type A from Juicy Honey Special Edition Maria Ozawa. This card is not the most rarest Maria card but still considered rare due to what set it came from and who it is. The card's design uses squares/rectangles as borders with the top thin rectangle being concave. It uses gradients of light forest green and light coffee brown. There are also uses of the colors white and black throughout the card. The swatch is in a square-shaped hole that matches the card's angular theme. The actual swatch is of Maria's jersey which is white and features a small blue dot. Maria, wearing the jersey, is giving a casual pose with a friendly smile.
I honestly love this rare card just because it is Maria. I haven't been able to get anything of her (at least rare wise) until I found this card for auction! I was so happy to see that I won it and have treasured it since! She is considered a Juicy Honey Legend as she has been in the first Juicy Honey set ever and is extremely popular!

Personal Collection: Juicy Honey 6: Hotaru Akane - Honey Jersey Type B

Showcasing my own personal collection:

This is a Honey Costume Type B of Hotaru Akane from Juicy Honey 6. The design of this card is similar, if not identical, to Hotaru's Honey Jersey Type A card. Going with a square theme for borders, although Hotaru's picture is a rounded rectangle border. The card keeps the theme of white with a light blue, an orange-yellow, and shades of gray. There is not much to be said about the card's design as it has already been established in her Honey Jersey Type A.The swatch is darkish tan silk from her "jersey" as pictured. Hotaru's cute suggestive pose is quite fetching and attracts attention. Her expression is very adorably hot. The background gives real life to it; making Hotaru seem real and not photoshopped.
I won this card in an auction along with her Honey Jersey Type A card. These two were my first two rare Hotaru cards. I was quite excited due to being a fan of Hotaru Akane and that it was one of the first Juicy Honey Sets. This card in particular is in great condition! Although, it isn't my favorite...The swatch is a bit plain and the design is the same to the Type A version (which I am not complaining but there's nothing to comment about it on here). I think what attracts me to this card is Hotaru herself. Her alluring pose of cuteness, funny, and suggestiveness shows what her personality is like (or at least how she wanted to be perceived then). This is the last Hotaru rare card I have sadly...Hopefully, I will gain more in the future! 

Personal Collection: Juicy Honey 6: Hotaru Akane - Honey Jersey Type A

Showcasing my own personal collection:

This is the Honey Jersey Type A for Hotaru Akane from Juicy Honey 6. The swatch is of her see-through light orange top. The card shows an outdoor picture of Hotaru. She is positioned where the focus is on her breasts and her face. The card's color scheme consists of light blue, white, shades of gray, and yellow-orange. The sky blue border surrounds the picture, swatch, and info on the card.
Wanting to celebrate Hotaru more, I decided to add another post about her. This type A Honey Jersey is not my favorite card from her nor from Juicy Honey 6. It's a nice card but it's not too memorable- doesn't stand out. I think the most satisfying part about the card is Hotaru's picture. She looks very beautiful here! Her pose makes her quite alluring. I also think her panties in the picture is quite cute on her.

Personal Collection: Juicy Honey 6: Hotaru Akane - Honey Jersey Type C Parallel

Showcasing my own personal collection:

This is Hotaru Akane's Honey Jersey Type C Parallel from Juicy Honey 6. The card is horizontal rather than vertical. The color scheme in this card is light blue, white, and mango yellow with a firm brown. The info is above but mostly on the upper right side. A straight border around the photo but rounded towards the top and then curved towards the swatch. The swatch is of a bathing suit texture that is orange with a line of yellow. Hotaru's picture is quite natural with a bit of photoshop. Her pose is quite alluring- giving a side showing of her rear. Her smile is beautiful and makes her lovable.
I love Hotaru Akane cards. I never knew about her until I found some base cards of her from her special edition. I thought she was so gorgeous. I was heartbroken to find out that Hotaru passed away from an Asthma attack. After that, I decided to try to collect more of her cards to honor her. Unfortunately, her cards are hard to find or too expensive to buy. She only appeared in two sets: Juicy Honey 6 and Juicy Honey Special Edition: Hotaru Akane. She doesn't seem too popular in the Western JH Community but hopefully, more will recognize her and her beauty. I will definitely try to find more.

Personal Collection: Juicy Honey 4: Hatsumi Kudo - Honey Jersey Type A

Showcasing my own personal collection:

This was my first Hatsumi card ever. I got her in the way beginning of my start in my collection. Hatsumi is a very gorgeous model with a cute beauty mark next to her nipple. The swatch is a smooth bathing suit texture which feels nice.

I am a big fan of older Juicy Honey cards. I feel that older cards are underrated. They are designed uniquely compared to more recent ones. They seem less photoshopped than newer ones and so it gives a natural feel to them.
