Sadaharu Oh Calbee Cards - Visual Catalogue

[jjbond]

So there are 100s of Japanese baseball cards featuring Sadaharu Oh, arguably one of the greatest baseball players. I had often been wondering about his various Calbee cards, as they would release a set (20-some) interspersed in their 100s of cards in a given year. So I wanted to see what the set looked like together. I don't plan on collecting all of his cards, so I created this visual database:

I count that Calbee released around 485 cards for Sadaharu Oh between 1973 and his retirement in 1980. I've uploaded 400 of them to this blog.

And on a plus side, I *do* collect his "homerun" cards, so this will help me identify them much more easily.

Very cool -- and clearly a lot of work.
