Japanese cards -- Love for Calbee!
I'm finding myself really liking the Calbee sets. Like many relative newcomers to Japanese cards, I started spending time researching early cards of Ichiro, Ohtani and Sadaharu Oh.
I've come to appreciate Calbee's simplicity (great, full bleed photos), accessibility (cards still come in potato chip bags that are more affordable for kids), and innocence (Calbee seems to have avoided the (cough cough) fanatical manufactured scarcity money scheme that BBM has happily adopted from its brethren in America.
Any other Calbee fans here?
