I picked up this 2000 BBM card of Hideki Matsui while I was in Japan (not sure which store but I think it was Mint Ponyland). This is one of the cards that was included with Sports Card Magazine #24 which was published in November of 2000:

I picked this card up because Matsui is imitating the iconic pose on
Shigeo Nagashima's 1973 Calbee card, the first card in Calbee's first set. I've got
a couple other cards where the player is imitating this pose - I was kind of surprised to realize that this photo wasn't the same as the one on the other Matsui card I have.
One note - with this post I am finally finished writing about the cards I picked up on the trip. I still have other posts to do about the trip but none that deal specifically with cards. I think I've done almost 30 posts on the cards I either bought or got from Ryan and Dan in the two months since I returned home.
