1973 Calbee JC1 #7, Sadaharu Oh ⭐ The Greatest HR Hitter in Pro Baseball History
This Sadaharu Oh's first Calbee baseball card and a foundational card in an entire segment of the hobby.
The 1973 Calbee set occupies a place in Japanese collecting similar to what the 1952 Topps set occupies in the United States.
Calbee, a Japanese snack company, introduced baseball cards in bags of potato chips in 1973. It became Japan's first long-running nationally distributed annual baseball card issue, and it completely transformed the Japanese hobby. Before Calbee, baseball cards in Japan were produced by many different companies with no consistent annual flagship release.
