In Japan the main card maker is Calbee, which distributes all its cards in bags of potato chips.

I'm currently working on the 1975-1976 set which has 1472 cards - distributed one per bag of chips back in the day so you can imagine how difficult it is to track these things down.

These are some of the Sadaharu Oh cards from the set.
