Thanks, I still have some of those items, but most of them were sold off especially to help pay for my move to Japan in 1996. There always seems to be many more Nagashima rookie cards floating around than Oh cards. Back in the early 1990s I found some nice stuff in Nagoya as well as Shimokitazawa in Tokyo. I miss those days.

That video (which is so cool BTW) does a good job of demonstrating how little card collecting had permeated public awareness here (at least in 1993) - its neat that it took them so long to guess that the baseball goods you collected were cards (and they didn't really hit on that until the host steered them to it from menko).
That is a fair point about the Oh/ Aaron rookie card numbers and I think you are probably right that there are more Aarons based on that, but still the number of Oh rookies collectively must be at least in the thousands so I don't think the population is too far off in comparison.
