I have at least a few doubles from numerous sets from the 70s-90s, just let me know what you are interested in!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243926228844409495.post-27291113639215254012017-04-16T06:05:49.639-07:002017-04-16T06:05:49.639-07:00I "raided" one of the shops and found a ...I "raided" one of the shops and found a few. #67 (a little rough compared to the others, but not bad), 198, 252, 253. The first two were 100 yen each, the other 200 yen each. We can trade, though I'd prefer cards from all over the 70s-90s for my type collection, instead of from just one year. Or whatever, I'm not too picky. I'll keep looking.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243926228844409495.post-78489942269065093912017-03-05T19:01:38.774-08:002017-03-05T19:01:38.774-08:00I have never been card shopping up in Tokyo, whene...I have never been card shopping up in Tokyo, whenever I go there I am either on business with no time, or with a 2 year old in tow who has no interest whatsoever in going to a card shop (maybe in a few years though!)<br /><br />If you don't mind looking out for some of them, I would pay up to 500 Yen each for singles in the 75-100 series that I need, and 100-200 Yen each for the other ones (assuming they are in nice shape, about Ex or better. Minor corner wear is OK).<br /><br />The ones I need are:<br />29, 48, 67, 73, 82, 83, 84, 86, 88, 89, 92, 97, 98, 99, 177, 183, 187, 197, 198, 205, 222, 252, 253, 255, 346, 367.<br /><br />I also have a lot of 1987 doubles for trade if you are interested. I would give 2 singles for 1 on my want list for the non-short print ones, and 5 for 1 for the short printed ones.

The 1964 Topps Curt Flood card is basically a common, but because of one guy buying them all up they sell for ridiculous prices on Ebay.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243926228844409495.post-83476029706598571542017-03-05T18:52:34.000-08:002017-03-05T18:52:34.000-08:00LOL, yeah, the 1987 Topps set is ever so slightly ...LOL, yeah, the 1987 Topps set is ever so slightly easier to put together....Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243926228844409495.post-44424383675622689072017-03-04T21:17:42.149-08:002017-03-04T21:17:42.149-08:00Have you checked out the Tokyo-area card shops yet...Have you checked out the Tokyo-area card shops yet? And what are you willing to pay per card? I can keep an eye out if you'd like. There's a card show up here in April, too, by the way. But it might not be so big and it could have a lot of the dealers who go to the Nagoya show.Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243926228844409495.post-63623788481142926252017-03-03T22:53:01.945-08:002017-03-03T22:53:01.945-08:00I have to believe that there is a wealthy person, ...I have to believe that there is a wealthy person, or group of people, who get their fun from buying up print runs or parts of print runs from random products, just to drive collectors crazy. They probably have a warehouse somewhere with stacks of 2004 BBM True Heart wrestling cards and 1987 Calbee, but only cards 75-100. That's who I blame every time I can't find something that should be relatively common.RAZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17519699812373438878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4243926228844409495.post-28256780603879323512017-03-03T17:51:20.742-08:002017-03-03T17:51:20.742-08:00Good luck!
