A big part of the cards I got in that huge box from Ryan a couple weeks back were BBM's 2020 "comprehensive" team sets for the twelve NPB clubs. A "comprehensive" team set is a set that contains all the players on the team's 70 man roster which is usually less than 70 players.
As has been standard since 2015, each team set has an 81 card base set. Most of the cards in each set (66 to 69 of them in this year's sets) are for the manager and the players on the 70 man roster. Each of the sets except the Marines set have a card dedicated to their mascots (which is a shame since it means the Mysterious Fish doesn't have a card this year) and the Hawks set also has a team logo/checklist card. (I should mention that the mascot cards for the other team sets have checklists on the back. And yes, that means there's no checklist card at all for the Marines set.) The remainder of the cards in each set are filled out by several (two to four) small subsets. Here's how every team set breaks down:

Each team set includes 30 to 35 players who do not appear in BBM's 2020 "flagship" sets (1st & 2nd Versions and Fusion). As usual these include an interesting mix of Westerners (Jose Flores, Moises Sierra, Carter Stewart, Emailin Montilla, Bryan Rodriguez, Ernesto Mejia, Alan Busenitz, Nattino Diplan and Isreal Mota) and somewhat big name veterans (Shota Ohno, Daisuke Yamai, Shintato Fujinami and Shingo Kawabata). Here's a card of a player from each set who was not in any of BBM's flagship sets:
