The Akihabara Mint (Yellow Submarine) location had a few on sale, but I don't remember what year they are/were.<br /><br />If you just want singles of your favorite players it is cheaper to just get singles. Quad Sports in Takadanobaba or Mint in Ikebukuro would be your best bet.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480658377503163749.post-44019141621370496362014-08-09T07:23:40.357-04:002014-08-09T07:23:40.357-04:00waaaouh great I hope to buy a set I especially lik...waaaouh great I hope to buy a set I especially like the tokyo big 6 2010 with kagami from hosei or oishi from waseda which are always my favorite players !!!!kantounoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480658377503163749.post-37607705905043174902014-08-08T21:18:06.441-04:002014-08-08T21:18:06.441-04:00I don't know of any cards for high school pros...I don't know of any cards for high school prospects.

But it depends on where you are and what you're looking for. There are a number of <a href="http://mint-web.jp/?mode=cate&cbid=208029&csid=0" rel="nofollow">Mint stores</a> in the Tokyo area.<br /><br />You can check out <a href="http://japanesebaseballcards.blogspot.com/search/label/Card%20Shops" rel="nofollow">the posts I did on the card shops I went to last year</a> but for the best information I'd recommend reading <a href="http://thiscardiscool.blogspot.com/search/label/card%20stores" rel="nofollow">Ryan's card shop posts</a>. His are much more thorough and up to date than mine.<br /><br />As I always tell Ryan, I'm jealous you're going to Japanese card shops.

In the past when I've done it, the total was roughly $30 including shipping.

Or at least it's not a premium one. I think this is the same hairsplitting you and I get into with how to refer to the subsets/insert sets with Calbee. To me, only the Star cards are inserts despite the fact that all the subsets are numbered separately from the regular player cards.<br /><br />The price guide does not appear to include any of the Front Runner sets. They do have the QCards from 1991 however.<br /><br /> NPB Card Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178497208404127283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480658377503163749.post-22487735032871673672014-07-31T09:24:10.990-04:002014-07-31T09:24:10.990-04:00How did you get this so fast?
Interesting that th...How did you get this so fast?<br /><br />Interesting that they're pulling First Pitch out as an insert. Hopefully it'll still be accessible enough to put my set together quickly.<br /><br />I'm guessing the price guide is the same as issue 100 with just some updates. I've purchased the last two issues so I'm thinking I might go ahead and get this one as well. Having additional listed sets would make it worth buying. And getting to see the previews for the new sets.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.com
