Weekly Baseball Cards 2003-05

I mentioned the other day that I had gotten a big lot of Shukan (Weekly) Baseball cards from Ryan in the package I got from him a couple weeks ago.  I've updated checklist I've been working on for these cards for some years and finally added a page for it in the upper right part of the blog.

I wanted to show off the cards that I didn't already have but there's a lot of cards (around 130-ish) so I'm going to split it up into multiple posts.  This post is just for cards from 2003 to 2005.  I don't have a lot to say about them so I'll pretty much just show pictures.  I'll list the cards from each year more or less in the order they were published although I'm going to list the original (not a promo) cards first and then the promos.

A quick comment about the card numbers.  The original cards all have a number that looks like "n-x/y" where n is the "issue number" or volume, x is the number of the card and y is the number of cards included in the magazine the card was given away in.  So a card with the number "1-2/3" means that this card was #2 out of the three that were included in the first magazine of that particular year to have baseball cards in it.  I know, clear as mud, right?

A couple notes:

- I have the other two "Interleague Memorial Uniform" cards - they are Makoto Imaoka of the Tigers and Michihiro Ogasawara of the Fighters.

- You'll notice that the numbers for the "Building Our Dream" and "2005 Season Memorial" cards don't follow the format that the other cards did.  I think those were published with special issues of "Weekly Baseball".  The Marines cards were in the "Early Winter Issue" and the Season Memorial cards were in the "Season Memorial" issue (obviously).
