Most first round MLB draftees have 30 cards within days of the draft (if not before). Tazawa is going into his fourth year of professional play in the US and is barely represented in the hobby.Jason Presleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13543465200431539036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480658377503163749.post-60625517862956911922012-10-24T14:17:05.426-04:002012-10-24T14:17:05.426-04:00Thank Jason - he's the one who's done all ...Thank Jason - he's the one who's done all the workNPB Card Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178497208404127283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480658377503163749.post-1476533270050333482012-10-22T19:38:36.599-04:002012-10-22T19:38:36.599-04:00Many thanks for the information on the SportsCardF...Many thanks for the information on the SportsCardForum.
