Too $hort

Today, I'll keep it nice and short. I'll just show off a couple of cards that were sent to me, out of pure kindness, by fellow bloggers.


This was sent by Adam, from Cardboard Clubhouse, as a Christmas giveaway, along with several other cards for my PC. But this one really stands out. Impossible not to love Casey Stengel cards. Even (especially) in a Mets uniform.


I claimed that card a few weeks ago and Tony (offhiatus, of course) was nice enough to send it to me via Matt (thanks !). I never thought I'd own a Sadaharu Oh card one day (Ok, I never really thought about it), and this is a 1987 Play Ball Japan card, from a 42 card set. This looks to be a manager card. Which would make sense since he retired in 1980 and this is the Yomiuri Giants logo. I'm such a great card detective...I should definitely try to add one from his playing days, now !

 thanks a lot guys, those are very appreciated !

      And I was glad that Matt was sending stuff over so that I could get that card to you more quickly than otherwise I might have!

    Topps should come out with an All-Japanese insert set or something with all the greats from Japanese baseball. There needs to be more cards of guys like Sadaharu Oh.
