I mentioned in the post I had done about some cards I had bought from Dan Skrezyna - aka Korean Cardboard - that Dan had located some more KBO cards from my want list and I'd bought those as well. The package made excellent time crossing the Pacific - Dan told me he shipped the cards last Monday and they showed up today.
I was pretty excited about all of the cards but I think I was the most excited about what objectively is the dullest card in the batch - the unnumbered "Title Card" for the 1999 Teleca Premium "Korea Dream Team" insert set. This was the last card I needed to complete this set. The front of the card has details about the 1999 Asian Championship, a qualifier to the baseball competition for the 2000 Sydney Olympics:
The back of the card has the scores of all the games in the tournament and shows the standings of the final round and the team's overall finishes (Korea won the tournament which is why Teleca did cards for the team):
The rest of the cards were all from the 2000 Teleca set. Dan sent me eleven base set cards and two "Rookies" insert cards. The first of these is arguably the biggest card in the set, at least to MLB fans:

Here's one of the other base set cards and the two "Rookies" insert cards:

The remainder of the cards were all members of the SK Wyverns. I've written about this in the past - I believe that these are all short printed cards that were included in a second printing of the set, replacing the cards of the defunct Ssangbangwool Raiders from the first printing:

With the exception of Son Cha-hoon, all of these players also appear in the set with Ssangbangwool.
The KBO portion of my want list is now down to just 14 cards - one from the 1999 Teleca set, two from the 2000 Teleca base set, five from the 2000 Teleca "Rookies" insert set and six from the 2000 Teleca "'99 Korea Japan Super Games" insert set. Thanks, Dan!
