Japanese Cards bought at Estate Sale

Good morning,
Does anyone know anything about these? I bought a shoe box full at a local Estate sale. Thanks for any info.

    if you have a smart phone, there's a free version of microsoft translator. absolutely amazing and will breakdown all the info on the back for you:

    i bought a 50k+ golf card collection years ago that had cards from germany, taiwan, france, italy, japan and many other countries. was extremely helpful on the asian languages because i couldn't tell which was which for the most part.

    then from there you can google the year and set name:

    1989 lotte baseball #13 kazuyoshi ono 😉

    eta: and an absolute must have when traveling abroad. makes traveling stress free.

    one note if you find a few that don't translate or even translate well. usually the bigger bolder numbers on the back are not the card number, rather the jersey number of the player. just one of the few differences in cultures.
