Today was my last day in Japan and I am currently flying home. It's been a great trip and I'll be doing a lot of posts about it over the next few months.
I picked up a lot of cool cards but I need to mention this card in particular:
This is card #642 of the 1996 BBM set. It's a short printed "Late Series" card of Yonetoshi Kawamata and it is the final card I needed to not only complete the 1996 BBM set, it is the final card I needed to complete the full run of BBM sets from 1991 to the present. It's been the final card I've needed for a few years now and I was thrilled to find it.
It's kind of funny, though, I'd had daydreams of finding this card at BITS or Quad Sports but that's not what happened. Three days before I left for Japan, I discovered someone selling the card on Mercari and asked Ryan to pick it up for me. He had already received it by the time I arrived and he was able to hand it to me when we met up in Tokyo. Maybe it's not as good of a story as finding it at one of my favorite shops but I'm happy to finally be done.
