An Introduction

About a year or so ago, I was approached by someone on Reddit about collaborating on some sort of introduction to Japanese baseball cards.  He was very enthusiastic about it and I tried to be, but I was getting ready for last year's trip to Japan and, when I got back, I was concentrating on dealing with the cards I had brought home and writing about the trip.  So the project kind of fell off of my radar and Dylan, the gentleman I was working with, had some family issues that kept him from working on it as well.  I reached out to him a few months back but didn't hear anything back from him.  I apologize to him deeply for dropping the ball on this.

All that said, I finally have completed something I probably should have written years ago - An Introduction to Japanese Baseball Cards.  It's an attempt to capture the current state of the NPB card market - I'm not diving into any of the older cards like menko, Yamakatsu or Kabaya-Leaf.  Hopefully I will be able to keep the page up-to-date - it's kind of amazing how many things I had to tweak from the first version of this that I wrote a year ago.
