More Calbees from COMC

I recently placed another order with COMC for a bunch of Calbee cards - mostly from the mid-70's.  I wanted to do a quick post to show off what I got.

First up is this card of Shinichi Eto from the 1975/76 set.  Eto was player-manager of the Taiheiyo Club Lions for the 1975 season and I think this photo was taken during spring training that year:

Team card for the Carp from the 1975/76/77 set.  Top row is manager Takeshi Koba (#72), Kojiro Ikegaya (#11), Yoshiro Sotokoba (#14) and Yukinobu Miyamoto (#19).  Middle row is Kazushi Saeki (#21), Shiro Mizunuma (#22), Tsuyoshi Ohshita (#1) and Sachio Kinugasa (#3).  Bottom row is Gail Hopkins (#6), Toshiyuki Mimura (#9), Richie "Shane" Scheinblum (#5) and Koji Yamamoto (#1).

This next card shows Hisashi Yamada of the Hankyu Braves but I'm not sure what the occasion is.  I was thinking it might be from the 1976 Nippon Series but there's nothing on the card to indicate that.  Still, it's kind of an interesting shot of him:

Yoshimasa Takahashi of the Nippon-Ham Fighters:

Have to do a bit of a time jump for this last card - a "Legend" insert card from 2017 celebrating the retirement of Giants pinch running specialist Takahiro Suzuki:

2017 Calbee #L-4

This isn't quite all the Calbee cards I picked up in this order but the others are part of a subset that I want to do a separate post about.  I'm hoping to do it in the next few days.
