B...Good stuff! That's some serious generosity.<br /><br />BBM produces Topps-style cards, but they haven't been around nearly as long. Their first set was from 1991. Most cards from 1973-1991 were made by Calbee and packaged with potato chips. (BBM cards are sold in packs just like American cards.)<br /><br />Although their cards are Topps-like, in a way BBM functioned more like Upper Deck, up-ending the traditional baseball-cards scene.Nickhttps://net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=254800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342310663064800554.post-11981675179327820132020-02-21T20:05:55.775-06:002020-02-21T20:05:55.775-06:00That is a good haul of Japanese ones.
