Weekly Baseball Cards 2006-10

Here's another batch of Shukan (Weekly) Baseball cards.  These are all from between 2006 and 2010 although the bulk of them are from 2006 and 2007.  I'm not sure if I don't have many cards from 2008-10 is just luck of the draw or because Weekly Baseball didn't include many cards in those years.

A reminder about how the cards are numbered - The cards that aren't promo cards from 2006-09 all have a number that looks like "n-x/y" where n is the "issue number" or volume, x is the number of the card and y is the number of cards included in the magazine the card was given away in.  So a card with the number "2-1/4" means that this card was #1 out of the four that were included in the second magazine of that particular year to have baseball cards in it.

Here are the 2006 cards:

#1-3/3

#2-1/3

#2-3/3

#2-1/4

#2-3/4

#4-2/3

#5-3/4

#5-4/4

#6-1/3

#WB3

#WB6

#WB7
You probably noticed there's two issue #2's in the list.  I suspect that the "Golden Rookie" cards were supposed to be issue #3.

Here's the 2007 cards:

#1-1/5

#1-3/5

#2-3/4

#3-1/3

#3-3/3

#4-1/3

#4-2/3

#5-1/3

#7-1/3

#7-2/3

#8-1/4

#9-2/3

I've only got a couple 2008 cards and I haven't seen many other ones:

#1-4/5

#1-5/5
I also only have a couple 2009 cards.  I still wonder if the 2009 BBM Legend Players set was actually issued in Weekly Baseball issues.

#1-1/3

#1-3/3
Weekly Baseball celebrated their 3000th issue in 2010 with a 12 card set that was issued over a three week stretch.  Cards 1-4 were included in the August 2nd issue, cards 5-8 were in the August 9th issue and cards 9-12 were in the August 16th issue.  I don't know which of those three magazines were the actual 3000th issue.  These cards appear to have been the turning point for the Weekly Baseball cards - almost all the cards that have been included with the magazine since then have been promo cards for BBM sets.
