Card of The Week June 25

Interleague play wrapped up last week with the Baystars being dubbed the champs - they tied for best record (11-7) with the Giants, Hawks and Buffaloes and won via the tiebreaker rules.  Somewhat surprisingly however, the interleague MVP did not come from DeNA but from Yomiuri.  It's only the second time the MVP didn't come from the interleague "champ" - the other was 2018 when the Swallows won interleague but Masataka Yoshida of the Buffaloes won MVP.  This year's MVP is Kazuma Okamoto so here's his Rookie Edition promo card from Sports Card Magazine #109, published in January of 2015 - it's a silver facsimile signature parallel version:
