Random Cards From Ryan

I wanted to do a quick post on some of the cards I got from Ryan last week.  Most of these I knew were in the box but there were a couple surprises.

A couple of the cards completed sets - this card completed my 2004 BBM Lions set:

2004 BBM Lions #61

This one not only completed my 2003 BBM Rookie Edition set, it completed my run of ALL the Rookie Edition sets (2003 to 2020):

2003 BBM Rookie Edition #26

He'd picked up a bunch of cards that I needed to complete the 1996, 1999 and 2000 BBM flagship sets along with the final card I needed from 1997.  I'll spare you all of those (there's about 130 cards from the 1999 set) but he also got me a little closer on the 2004 BBM 1st Version "Asian Championship 2003" Japan National Team insert set:

2004 BBM 1st Version #AJ18

This card (that I wasn't expecting) helps complete the 2009 Konami WBC Heroes "All Tournament Team" insert set:

2009 Konami WBC Heroes #W09A006

I'd asked him to pick up these two 2019 BBM 2nd Version "Secret Version" cards because I liked the photos.  The photo on the Ginji card is from his emergency catcher stint last April.

There was an unexpected 2009 Konami Baseball Heroes card of Hayato Sakamoto in the package:

Lastly I had asked Ryan to bid on an auction containing a bunch of Akira Etoh cards.  The lot had about 12 cards in all but there were only six that I didn't already have.  Three of these were Calbees:

1998 Calbee #126

1999 Calbee #178

2006 Calbee "The Veterans" #V-03

The other three were BBM insert cards.  Two of these were from 1999.  The "Dream Team" card is die cut - the white lettering is actually my scanner's background visible through the holes in the card.  Don't ask me why the Best 9 card has Chiba Marine Stadium in the background.

1999 BBM #D6

The final card was a 2000 BBM 90's Best 9 card.  This was kind of a cool little set featuring the (obviously) the Best 9 team for the decade of the 1990's.  Not sure if it comes across in the scan well but the card is a lenticular, 3-D card.  I didn't have any examples from this insert set until now.

2000 BBM #BN5

Once again, I can't thank Ryan enough for picking these cards up for me.
