It was pretty cheap, but recently I've seen some offered for sale at much higher prices. Then again, everything "vintage" here is very volatile.<br /><br />NPB Card Guy: I didn't know you didn't have one! I thought one had been mailed out to you in the past... if I do have another extra I'll put it aside for you; I can also check the little shop that had them before next time I'm in that area. It's not a card shop but some random little shop near Ueno.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-91769846035598911052015-09-14T20:06:36.428-07:002015-09-14T20:06:36.428-07:00Zippy - Looked up Juicy Honey... very interesting....Zippy - Looked up Juicy Honey... very interesting.<br /><br />shlabotnik - Me too. I'll get around to them sooner or later. Just started to reorganize my binders. As soon as that project is finished, I'll be ready to start adding new cards to them.<br /><br />ryan - thanks again for all of your help. The disc is awesome. Thanks for the background on it. Any info on the sweet Sadaharu Oh die?<br /><br />tony - i'm going to guess that I didn't. I sorted all of the singles into teams, but didn't see any of their cards. however... since i don't read japanese... i might be wrong.<br /><br />npb - thanks for the background on the die. i don't have many sadaharu oh cards, so this one was extra special.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-22138701263071843072015-09-14T05:31:46.756-07:002015-09-14T05:31:46.756-07:00The other guys on that cardboard die with Sadaharu...The other guys on that cardboard die with Sadaharu Oh are Shigeo Nagashima (#90), Masaichi Kaneda (#34), Koichi Tabuchi (#22), and Koji Yamamoto (#8). I think the other guy (#41) is Kenichi Yazawa but I'm not sure. Nagashima and Kaneda as shown as the managers of the Giants and the Orions respectively so that would date this to between 1975 and 1978.<br /><br />I like the fact that the faces of the die have the "rock-paper-scissors" symbols on them as well, just like a lot of menko cards do. I should probably try to find one of these for myself...NPB Card Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178497208404127283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-41379715031315439932015-08-30T16:05:02.136-07:002015-08-30T16:05:02.136-07:00Did you get any cards of the Shimizu J-Pulse?

I love that team name, even if I have no idea if the J-Pulse is any good these days (or ever were, to be fair)!Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-82791065973514700322015-08-30T10:42:50.647-07:002015-08-30T10:42:50.647-07:00Fuji: I'm happy that you're happy!

It's always fun just finding all this stuff for you, though I must say that I haven't really found anything this year other than the small package you received in June. Kenny's suggestion to send you Juicy Honey cards might be a joke, but you never know - something like that might end up headed your way! <br /><br />The disc is from the 1970s, It's a 1976 Mitsuya disc, to be exact. They come in different sizes which seem to have different rarities but in Japan everything old is pretty rare.<br /><br />The super-colorful cards with barcode tops are Aikatsu cards, a game that seems to be finally losing popularity here. And the Love Live calendar was an exclusive item from Sega, but I happened to get two of them. If you have questions about any of this, don't hesitate to ask!Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-14813749645751096212015-08-30T05:13:50.322-07:002015-08-30T05:13:50.322-07:00Fantastic!
