Card Of The Week August 3

There was a huge trade in Korea last week as the NC Dinos sent the KBO's all time hit leader Son Ah-seop to the Hanwha Eagles for a third round pick in next year's draft and around $215,000 in cash.  Son has never played on a Korean Series champion.  He spent the first 15 years of his career with the Lotte Giants who have the longest current championship drought in KBO history - they last won the title in 1999 - and he'd been with NC since 2022, two years after their last championship.  Hanwha is currently in first place while NC is in seventh so this gives him a better shot at a title.  

Since I don't have many KBO cards after 2021, I don't have any cards of Son with NC.  Here's a card of him from his Lotte days:
