In 1990 it was the first 55 cards that were released in the little sized ones.<br /><br />I actually hope they do something like that next year in the 2020 set :)Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243926228844409495.post-90001236730650836332019-01-22T17:58:48.589-08:002019-01-22T17:58:48.589-08:00Thanks, I am too!Thanks, I am too!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243926228844409495.post-60183847574071841702019-01-22T13:01:25.161-08:002019-01-22T13:01:25.161-08:00Congrats and awesome pick up!

I don't think I'd ever seen a photo of Doi with a beard before.<br /><br />One thing about the 1980 set - it was actually issued in two sizes. The first part of the set was issued at the same size as the cards from the 1970's while the second part was the smaller size. Calbee did something similar in 1990 - the first 96 cards I think were the same size as the cards from the 80's while the remaining cards were phone card sized. Luckily they didn't do this in 2000 or 2010...NPB Card Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178497208404127283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243926228844409495.post-46671956608459103512019-01-21T21:20:38.179-08:002019-01-21T21:20:38.179-08:00Very cool.
