Nice, leading off is some 73 Calbee’s! Beautiful sidewinder card. Stellar composition! I enjoyed hearing about the Black Mist scandal. Take care and thanks for the video!

So refreshing to see these cards Tony. Interesting to hear about the Black Mist scandal. Sounds very familiar. Great video my friend!

Great looking cards and history on this set!

[@jpwiscobaseballcards1192]

Yes indeed!

Hey! I have that Koji yamamoto too! It's his RC too I believe

[@jpwiscobaseballcards1192]

Nice, is it flag back or bat back? You know I never really thought about RCs within 73 Calbee but I suppose there have to be a fair amount of guys who have what are basically RCs even if they had been in baseball a while because of the mysterious lack of baseball cards produced between 65-72 in Japan

@jpwiscobaseballcards1192 it's a bat back. Well. Its his 1st card listed on tcdb :)

[@jpwiscobaseballcards1192]
