Some very unique cards for sure...thanks for sharing!SumoMenkoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17461389544030702085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243926228844409495.post-22751004511143767672017-02-07T19:50:32.747-08:002017-02-07T19:50:32.747-08:00Yeah, these are the only three I've ever seen ...Yeah, these are the only three I've ever seen too. The fact that they aren't sequentially numbered made me wonder if there were more (like #407), but I haven't seen them.<br /><br />I totally agree about #406. There seem to be a few 1970s Calbee cards which offer decent photos of stadiums, though generally as a backdrop for something else rather than as the subject of the set themselves (of course the 1988 Calbee has that Tokyo Dome subset too). It would have been great if they had done a subset highlighting each stadium then in use, especially since most of them no longer exist it would be interesting to see them.

I'm pretty confident that there weren't any similar cards from Topps in the mid-60's. <br /><br />There aren't many Japanese cards that have decent stadium photos so I really like #406. I never realized how much foul territory Korakuen Stadium had.NPB Card Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178497208404127283noreply@blogger.com
