Maybe it was stylistic, or there could be different parallels of course.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480658377503163749.post-46565597696488383642014-07-26T10:12:52.919-04:002014-07-26T10:12:52.919-04:00@Ryan - I didn't think to check the silver/gol...@Ryan - I didn't think to check the silver/gold parallels against teams or leagues. There's no correlation that I can see, either by team, league or position.<br /><br />There are 10 Giants players (a third of the set), 6 Dragons, 4 Lions, 4 Swallows and 2 each of the Carp, Tigers and Whales.<br /><br />I've got a silver parallel and a regular card to send you for your type collection.NPB Card Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178497208404127283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480658377503163749.post-67251582682245694662014-07-25T18:20:58.688-04:002014-07-25T18:20:58.688-04:00Those are very "cool" cards.

I wonder if those were also issued by IFT.<br /><br />I don't mind round menko and I love caricatures so this is a pretty cool set, though I'd prefer the larger IFT sets listed in Engel's guide. I haven't seen any around here though I haven't been looking for vintage lately. That's a good deal anyway!<br /><br />Did you check silver vs. gold for different teams or leagues?Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.com
