I am still recovering from my daughter's big birthday bash from yesterday -- it's shocking when you get older how anything slightly out of the ordinary can exhaust you. So I've got just one card for you tonight, but it's a really, really good one. This item arrived from my buddy Dave along with the more modern day cards that I showed earlier. This card is definitely not modern, which is perfectly OK with me. In fact, Dave listed all of the categories where this card fits into my collection. It's: -- Vintage -- Oddball -- Foreign -- Designed like the '59 Topps set -- A night card Sweet! As the PSA label says up top, this card is from the 1967 Kabaya Leaf set. According to Japanese Baseball Cards , this was the first attempt by a Japanese card manufacturer to make an American-style card set. Apparently, these cards were imported to the U.S. and sold through the mail until the early 1970s, and the cards are hard to find in Japan now. Thanks to so...
