Do you know who the only NPB player who wore a three digit number while on his team's 70 man roster was? It was Robinson Checo of the Hiroshima Toyo Carp who wore 106 in his first stint with the team in 1992-93 and again for the first season of his second one in 1995. He switched to 50 in 1996, his final season in Japan before joining the Boston Red Sox.
This is his card from the 1995 BBM All Star set (#A8), the only card I have of him wearing 106. The only other card I know of with him wearing that number is his Calbee card from that year (#122) as he didn't have any other BBM cards in 1995.
