<< <i>ok, here's a mystery to me.....i posted this card here awhile back, but no one really responded, so.......anyone read Japanese or can ya tell me who this guy is?
>>
I don't know if this solves the mystery, but here are the translations.
1. At the top of the card it says "Air Force". 2. To the left side, the characters in the bat shape means "Umpire". 3. To the right side, the characters in the thermometer shape means "Heal kick" (I am not making this sh*t up). 4. In the circle, the characters mean "Iron" or "Metal".
The guy I asked thinks it's to a baseball card game, but has never seen it before. He thought the fist could stand for "rock" in rock, paper, scissors.
I hope this helps some. >>
And to solve the mystery of which set the card comes from, it's called a "Menko" set -- similiar to "rock, paper, scissors". Here is a link to The Vintage Sportscards Blog which describes the set.
And while I'm here enjoying this fantastic trip through sports card heaven, here is a rare Topps Push-Pull insert from about 1964 that I received from a neighbor when they packed up and left the neighborhood:

Wow, that's quite the neighbor Mike. Was this recent that they gave these to you?

No, that was back in the mid-60s. I also received at the same time a Wheaties metal plaque of Phil Rizzuto and a couple comic-book cutouts of Musial and Berra as shown in the photo below. They hold some fond memories of my childhood!
That is an awesome Henderson, what kept it from a 10 in your opinion?
My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)
Thanks, Matt. They were listed on eBay as pretty sizable BIN's, and I immediately made the seller a strong offer on both - which he thankfully accepted.

<< <i>My most recent addition.
That looks to be dead-centered, Matt! Beautiful card. The centering on those Henderson rookies is a bear!

It's dead nuts centered Jeff. It's really why I bought the card, as I am supposed to be on a strict hiatus from buying right now.

<< <i>I love the OPC! Pretty funny that the minor print blemishes are on the Topps version and not the OPC. The rough cut looks awesome. Congrats! >>
I know - the fish eye's are a bummer, but it's so hard to find the Topps version without any.

Matthew, You have some darn nice hockey RC's. That PSA 5 Orr is spectacular.
Here's my most recent pickup for my 70's Baseball HOFers.
