And these were distributed with little picture frames back in the day. http://tamylife.web.fc2.com/newpage2-128-3.html Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243926228844409495.post-67108498425583644552018-04-23T17:42:31.198-07:002018-04-23T17:42:31.198-07:00Thanks, I picked up a couple more in an auction la...Thanks, I picked up a couple more in an auction last night so I'm now 5 out of 27! The findings get a bit slimmer from now though, I've almost exhausted what Yahoo Auctions has to offer!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243926228844409495.post-59902685461071107702018-04-23T17:39:08.270-07:002018-04-23T17:39:08.270-07:00Oh that is interesting.

I was just going off of Yahoo Auctions listings and random Google searches and could only find the 1990 and 1993 ones. I suppose they probably did a 1992 set too but I haven't come across any. I'd like to find out a bit more about the back story of how they were distributed.

They did them in 1991 as well so I wonder if they did them in 1992 also. <a href="http://japanesebaseballcards.blogspot.com/2017/09/card-of-week-september-17.html" rel="nofollow">I have a couple of the 1990 cards and one of the 1991 cards.</a> They also did some over-sized cards back in <a href="http://japanesebaseballcards.blogspot.com/2018/02/1973-calbee-large-premiums.html" rel="nofollow">1973</a> but those are extremely scarce (and weren't labeled "Big Size" cards).NPB Card Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01178497208404127283noreply@blogger.com
