It wasn't even a day after
I posted about getting a surprise envelope in the mail from Kenny - perhaps better known as
Zippy Zappy - when I received a second envelope in the mail from him. This one had ten cards in it, all from 2025 sets.
The first three cards were from the 2025 Topps NPB set:
 |
| 2025 Topps NPB #68 |
 |
| 2025 Topps NPB #186 |
 |
| 2025 Topps NPB #211 |
It's interesting that Topps decided to use black ink on the names on the first and last of these three cards. They're not too difficult to read in person but, man, the scans are practically unreadable. The Marines player is Kyota Fujiwara and the Giants player is Taisei Ota who just goes by "Taisei".
The next batch of cards were from the 2025 Topps Stadium Club NPB. I think Stadium Club is probably the best NPB set that Topps does (ok, it's a small sample size of two) so I was very happy to get these cards:
 |
| 2025 Topps Stadium Club NPB #126 |
 |
| 2025 Topps Stadium Club NPB #25 |
 |
| 2025 Topps Stadium Club NPB #73 |
 |
| 2025 Topps Stadium Club NPB #35 |
 |
| 2025 Topps Stadium Club NPB #97 |
 |
| 2025 Topps Stadium Club NPB #45 |
I saved the best for last. In September, Bushiroad had put out a Samurai Japan set under their collectible card game line "DreamOrder". As far as I can tell, it's for the 2024 Premier 12 edition of the team and appears to have cards of all 28 players from the squad. Kenny sent me the Hiroto Takahashi card from this set:

| 2025 Bushiroad DreamOrder Samurai Japan #PB01-SJ01 |
I thought I'd share a gif that sums up my feelings about the cards:
Thanks again for the cards, Kenny!
