Julie VognarI don't see many phone cards of any kind here, but they're always plain old cards. The Oh in the "flamingo" pose and
the poster of Ruth (from the 1934 tour of Japan) are I think phone cards from the early '90s. They're plastic, and you can see the little sami-circular dent at the bottom. Each time the card is used, a tiny, tiny hole is punched in the card--one has three, the other isn't used.
They were very cheap--they're not in any Japanese baseball card catalogue that I know.
If you're interested, call Gary Engel (661-255-6744) after the National, or e-mail him at japanbb@aol.com and ask if he ever gets them in. He's the one I won the three airplanes from--and he read my post here at the National and said how much he liked it! (must have a laptop there, or have wandered into an internet cafe).
