My first post on Bluesky! Here to connect with card collectors, particularly those interested in Japanese and North American baseball and wrestling (vintage and modern). To commemorate the event: a recently acquired Japanese telephone card of Brad the Animal Lesley.

NPB fans: know where to find info on teams' Winter activities? I was told last year, for example, the Swallows (I think?) had some sort of training in Shikoku. Anyone know anything about such things?

Another 1976 Yamakatsu - Terry Funk!

1249collecting @1249collecting.bsky.social · Jun 6

1976 Yamakatsu Harley Race. Thrilled to find this at a second hand store in Osaka. It's tough to find.

Thank you - much appreciated!

Japanese wrestling fans: how long does a typical Marigold show last? I hope to squeeze one in in Tokyo next month but have another obligation afterwards.

Thanks, Gabe. Unfortunately there are no Buffaloes home games when I am in the area. But I have tix for games at the Tokyo Dome and Meiji Jingu Stadium!

1249collecting @1249collecting.bsky.social · Apr 16

Hmm. I went through the Tigers Japanese website as well and all tickets do indeed seem sold out. So is stubhub legit?

1249collecting @1249collecting.bsky.social · Apr 16

Fans of Japanese professional baseball: 1) have you bought NPB tickets via stubhub? 2) Have you had success buying Hanshin Tigers tickets via their website? For the latter I am being directed to special tickets for foreigners, and these tickets are sold out. Am I missing something?

Japanese baseball fans: what is the best stadium in which to take in an NPB game? I've only been to Meiji Jingu Stadium. I can't imagine a better baseball atmosphere exists!

Sadly, there are not enough Terry Gordy cards out there. Here's a great one, IMHO: 2011 BBM Legend of Champions card #54. #wrestlesky #wrestlingcards

1249collecting @1249collecting.bsky.social · Mar 30

1997 BBM Sparkling Fighters is a beautiful set that doesn't get enough hobby love! But then again Japanese wrestling cards in general should get more hobby love! Here's card 52 - The Great Sasaki #wrestlesky

Sadaharu OH Calbee baseball card album. Anyone know the year? Note the text commemorating home run #715.

Awesome! I have been getting into Japanese baseball for about a year now. The colors and designs of the vintage menko are unrivaled.

1249collecting @1249collecting.bsky.social · Mar 26

Looking to connect and trade with vintage Japanese menko card collectors! Pictured: JDM8 1948 Kagome Die Cut Menko of Satoru Sugiyama. #thehobby

1249collecting @1249collecting.bsky.social · Mar 26

Nice! The calbee cards are lots of fun. IMHO some of the best photography ever seen on baseball cards. Do you collect menko as well?

Missed #wrestlingcardwednesday again this week, but had to post this mail day awesomeness: 1954-55 Parkhurst Bobo Brazil Lucky Premium back version in SGC 4. Any other vintage wrestling card collectors out there on Bluesky? I am 5 short for this set and looking to trade!

1249collecting @1249collecting.bsky.social · Mar 16

Big fan of Japanese telephone cards featuring baseball players. Here's Ichiro!

1249collecting @1249collecting.bsky.social · Mar 16

Happy NPB season to all who love Japanese baseball! To celebrate: a picture of a 1972 menko JCM15a Sadaharu Oh.

1986 Super Mario Bros round menko. Super fun collectibles from Japan that don't get enough hobby love, IMHO.

The quest for golden age wrestling autos continues! Latest pick up: 'Jumping' Jom Brunzell! #wrestlesky

1249collecting @1249collecting.bsky.social · Mar 5

Happy #wrestlingcardwednesday (is this still a thing??). After a recent bulk purchase and a few new singles, I am at 68/75 of the 1954-55 Parkhurst set. Anyone out there collect it, too? #wrestlesky

1992 WCW Magazine cards, still in magazine. First Cactus Jack card! Some debate as to whether the Steve Austin card is his 'rookie'- the 1991 Cromy WCW is a year earlier. Regardless, these cards are awesome. #cardsky #wrestlesky

1249collecting @1249collecting.bsky.social · Feb 23

Only 5 in total PSA graded: one PSA 6, two PSA 8, two PSA 9.

1249collecting @1249collecting.bsky.social · Feb 23

1981-94 Klector's Cab Cards Jackie Robinson PSA 8. A fun card and very difficult find. #cardsky #thehobby
