2009 Award Winners

In addition, the Rookie of the Year awards went to Tetsuya Matsumoto of the Giants and Tadashi Settsu of the Hawks. Here's Matsumoto's 2nd Version card (#659 - for the second year in a row, one of the Rookies Of The Year does not have a 1st Version card) and Settsu's 1st Version card (#214):



This also means that again BBM struck out with their "Rookie Of The Year Preview" subset in the 1st Version set - neither of the winners is in it.
