What are these things?? A friend asked me if I wanted them at a card show, and being the packrat I have become, I said sure. They are very beat up. Obviously Japanese, I wasn't able to find anything on cards 1, 4 and 5 below. But cards 2, 3 and 4 are from the 1975 JCM 59 Marushoo set.
Card 3 is of Shigeo Nagashima and card 4 is Senichi Hoshino, both in the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame. The others, I am not sure of who the players are.
And staying on the Japanese theme, a couple of posts back I showed an unopened Japanese baseball card thingy. I asked if anyone thought I should open it or keep it unopened, but nobody chimed in. So I decided to open it!
After more research, I found that this is from the 1985 CalBee set. The player is Sachio Kinugasa, who, shockingly, is also a Japanese Hall of Famer!!
Pretty great stuff, and a nice diversion.
great pull from the pack!
ReplyDeleteSome interesting cards to say the very least.
ReplyDeleteNever seen a 1985 Calbee. Very cool design. Congratulations on the HOF pull.
ReplyDeleteThose are pretty cool. I'm hoping to get some Japanese cards soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit late to the party, but neat cards. Card 1 is Gene Martin with the Dragons, 5 (Tigers) is Koichi Tabuchi, and 6 is Senichi Hoshino (Dragons pitcher). The anime guy on the back is a viking, and as such, this is called the 1976 Viking Set. You are correct that the Giants card (#3) is Nagashima and #4 is Senichi Hoshino again. Card 2 is another Dragons player, Tatsuhiko Kimata.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct that the Calbee card #95 is Sachio Kinugasa, and it's a fairly valuable card. The set is 1984, though, as noted on the back. Nice pull!
