That link from Mandarake had a couple pieces of bad news with it, though. The first was that the card was sold out and the second was that the price of the card when it was in stock was 25,000 yen which is about $150-ish. Way too much for me to spend on a card, especially now that I'm not really collecting anymore. I'll have to console myself with the other Calbee Kimata cards I have, like this one from the 1974/75 set (#39):

Great card. I have #213 from the same regional Nagoya series, another great swinging image. That one is also on Mandarake for 'only' 5,500. It's interesting how despite both being from the same short printed series, some of these are definitely more available and not as pricey as others. So many riddles and enigmas with theses sets.
I guess I didn't realize these were from a regional series. No wonder they're so expensive. Thanks for the information!
I looked up card #213 and I agree, that's a nice looking shot. I wonder if the price difference is that this one has the Nagoya Stadium scoreboard in the background but #213 doesn't.
Yeah, 210 to 235 from that set was a regional, Nagoya area only release so its pretty rare and expensive.
Its always annoying when the cards with nice photos like that are rare :(
