Surprisingly, the Evo 3 book doesn't have RSR inside. Its M5 instead. The RSR stuff is spread out through the other books, particularly Evo 1 and 2, and some of it duplicated in the LTD books.

I was able to get a hold of the floppy disk version of CTR, I hope the disks still work after all these years.
now I gotta buy a usb floppy drive.

EDIT:
Apparently i have to buy a specific type of drive, made for floppy disk preservation.
Greaseweazle or KryoFlux.

Be aware that PC98 formatted diskettes might not be compatible with the IBM format. You would certainly want one of those preservation drives able to extract the entire disk contents, included formatted file system data, if needed.

This is one of my favorite acquisitions of the last few years, one of the Premium Card Collection store boxes. While the cards are common and the occasional pouch has shown up, the boxes were probably mostly trashed after the card pouches were sold. (I'd never even seen a picture of one before the seller offered it to me.) Even the ones kept might have been opened along the perforations and the top disposed. This one somehow made it west intact, sold in a shop, and has now found its way to me via another collector selling off their card collection. (The cards are now listed for sale.)
I'd love to get a box for the Sogna Official Trading Card set someday as well.

I also managed to acquire sets of the Osaka Prowrestling telecas with the backing cards. I'd seen Francoice card a few times and knew it was related to VIPER-RSR as part of a promotional crossover event, but I thought it was paired with a Cala and Elan card in a set. In fact, at the 12/16/2001 event, TWO different teleca sets were actually available: one with two RSR telecas and one with two OPW telecas. I was not aware the chibi teleca was part of a set as it lacked the 2021.12.16 datestamp. (Extra telecas also listed for sale.)
