I thought about both Doby and Rich Gossage, who spent part of 1990 with the Fukuoka Daiei Hawks but I don't have cards of them - not sure if either of them have any cards. I also could have included the Meikyukai-eligible Alfonso Soriano but I don't know of any cards for his stint with the Carp.NPB Card Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178497208404127283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480658377503163749.post-31192412343014866252021-06-16T00:25:55.041-04:002021-06-16T00:25:55.041-04:00Really great post!

They were printed on thicker cardboard so they have a menko feel to them. Even have a "rock-paper-scissors" graphic on the back.<br /><br />> likely will forget much of the interesting information you presented<br />Me too, that's why I write this stuff down!NPB Card Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178497208404127283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480658377503163749.post-82098433101718870052021-05-26T08:56:32.186-04:002021-05-26T08:56:32.186-04:00Great post.

I need to add a vintage Yonamine to my collection one day. That 1961 Marusan JCM is gorgeous. And that 1984 Takara Kids Lions card of Entasu is awesome too.
