Awesome. The graphics in these cards are so different from anything I have seen before... what a great idea for a collection! (and BTW, John Gall is one of my favorite book designers)
One of the things I regret not doing while in Japan is going to a baseball game. Sigh... One of my friends went to one & told me what I missed. Some day perhaps. Great images I love the tones. My favorite has to be the Hawks one. Thanks!
I collected Japanese baseball cards as kid living in Tokyo. This was in the late 80's and, by that time, they looked like the cookie cutter American ones. I have some fond memories of rooting for the Giants at the Tokyo Dome...
Gosh. every one of these is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful.

ReplyDeleteLove it. Favorite is the pitcher with the big star and crazy #'s leafs designs all around him.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Japan when I was younger, I loved baseball but never got into the Japanese game. Wish I had...
