A huge thanks to Matt over at the Run-Fore!-Kellogg's Baseball Cards and Run-Fore!-Sportscaster Cards. He sent me out of the blue two extremely rare and hard-to-find 1977 Sumo Sportscaster Cards: the German-language and Italian-language cards. These are so cool and I never thought I would own one of them given how hard these "obscure" language ones are to find. I am amazed at the language variety of these cards and how far reaching these were collected around the world. The sumo cards checklist is now at 9 (see below) with the ones in bold the ones I have in my collection.
Thanks again Matt and much appreciated!

I can't recall the exact name, but these remember some older Leaf cards in terms of the design. Not very helpful, but I know I've seen them.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever run across them, let me know. Thanks!
DeleteAwesome! Only two more to go.
ReplyDeleteThose two could be the hardest. Amazing that these were printed almost all around the Western world.
DeleteTwo more to complete the rainbow!
ReplyDeleteLet's hope they pop up eventually!
