From The Land Of The Rising Sun.



 A few days ago a package arrived all the way from Japan. The card I was waiting for is the one above,it is a 2012 Sega Card Gen. As far as I am aware this is a type of baseball card game. As it was a James Shields card I had to have it. The Japanese ebayer I bought the card from has to be the most polite and and gracious person I have ever dealt with on ebay. So another slightly odd card hits the Shields PC. As well as getting the Shields I was surprised to find three more cards in the envelope, they are showcased below.

I know nothing about Japanese baseball cards and know nothing of the language but these are pretty cool cards. It's strange that Cabrera has no first name though, maybe he is too cool for one.

  1. Huge fan of Japanese oddballs. By the way... Alex Cabrera (along with Tuffy Rhodes and the legendary Sadaharu Oh) holds the single season home run record in Japan.

  2. Hey Simon. Didn't see any other way to get in touch with you. Not sure if you're still collecting Rays, but I wanted to let you know that, if you're interested, I'm doing a jumbo case break of Topps '13 Series 1. Feel free to take a look! Thanks!
