Oddity: 1991 Japan Baseball Unopened?

vintagefun

Found this in a dig through a random assortment at my folks this weekend. Single pack, and I can't remember how it came into my possession. Back references Baseball Magazine SHA. Anyone familiar with these? Ichiro's debut was with Orix BlueWave in 1992, so I assume he's not included. Would appreciate any info if it's out there.

Thanks.

It's a 1991 BBM pack. probably worth 10-20 bucks

The key cards in this set are the Hideo Nomo RC and league leader cards. It came in 1 series unlike subsequent years. Also available in 2 factory sets, one #/7500 and a much harder to find #/2500. The sets are the same but boxes are different. One appears to be catered towards American collectors while the other to Japanese collectors
