I think they're more scarce just because I don't see them as often but I don't see pre-1988 Takara sets very often either. Engel lists both these and the regular 1984 Takara cards as "R1" meaning "between 250 and 1000 copies known of most cards". So the guy who would know thinks they aren't any more scarce than the regular cards.NPB Card Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178497208404127283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480658377503163749.post-9660794855526967082023-09-20T12:45:31.404-04:002023-09-20T12:45:31.404-04:00What is the value & scarcity of these cards?What is the value & scarcity of these cards?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480658377503163749.post-13798210544837584182021-06-17T09:35:10.446-04:002021-06-17T09:35:10.446-04:00Love the cards, especially the size and thickness ...Love the cards, especially the size and thickness - it is almost like a menko card, hence the Takara Kids. I happen to kind of like the Takara cards, and have four sets from the 1990 Takara release.Comatoadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586730611415248483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480658377503163749.post-8034797540132763602021-06-17T09:10:42.876-04:002021-06-17T09:10:42.876-04:00Very cool! 1984 was right at the tail end of the ...Very cool! 1984 was right at the tail end of the second menko boom (1972-1985ish) so makes sense. Interesting set for sure!
