In September of 2009 BBM issued their fourth set for the Tokyo Big Six collegiate league and their fifth collegiate set over all.
The 2009 BBM Tokyo Big Six Autumn Version box set contained 36 cards - 30 player cards (five per team) and six team cards. Eleven of the 30 players would go on to play in NPB. Six of those players had their first ever baseball card in this set - Shohei Habu, Hayata Itoh, Tomoya Mikami, Kazuki Mishima, Shota Sugiyama and Takashi Uemoto. They join returning champions Kisho Kagami, Yusuke Nomura, Tatsuya Ohishi, Yuki Saitoh and Kenji Tomura.
