Three Envelopes From Kenny

I got an email a few weeks back from Kenny (aka Zippy Zappy) informing me that there were three(!) envelopes containing cards that were working their way across the Pacific to me from Japan.  Two of these envelopes showed up on the first of the month but, for whatever reason, the third didn't make it to my house until today.  

The first of these envelopes contained an unopened pack of Bandai's collectible card game called Fan Stars.  Specifically it was a pack of the Central League Vol. 2 cards that came out at the end of May:

Like the Pacific League Vol. 1 pack that Kenny sent me a few months back, this pack contained seven cards - five "normal", one "rare" and one "super rare":

#BBC02-062

#BBC02-007

#BBC02-077

#BBC02-092

#BBC02-029

#BBC02-021

#BBC02-044

It might not be obvious but the Nakano card is the "rare" one and the Tsutsugoh card is the "super rare" one.

The other two envelopes contained a mixture of this year's Calbee, Epoch and Topps cards.  Here's the Calbee's:

#027 Kazuya Ojima

#030 Ryusei Terachi

#029 Daito Yamamoto

#035 Masaki Oyokawa

#018 Shoma Fujihira

Here are the Epoch cards from their "NPB" flagship set:

#102

#007

#134

#208

#023

#046

#085

#075

#234P

#168

It's hard to tells from the scan but the Kaito Saiki card is a parallel card.  The Matsushita card is a "rookie variation" card that came from the retail edition of the set - the "regular" version of the card has a different photo.

Finally the last batch of cards were from this year's Stadium Club NPB set which continues to be the best looking set that Topps has produced for their NPB offerings:

#27

#91

#5

#157

#120

#207

#139

#52

#64

I swear, if Topps increased the size of their Stadium Club NPB set to something approaching the size of BBM's 1st Version set, they'd give BBM a run for their money on being the NPB card set to get if you were getting just one set.

Once again, thank you for the cards, Kenny!
