Vintage baseball card stores in Tokyo -- recommendations?
 

Can anyone recommend any baseball card stores in Tokyo? I'm interested in vintage Japanese cards, though also not averse to finding some off-the-beaten-path Ohtanis and Ichiros. Many thanks.

Card Shops in Japan

Most of the shops in Japan sell modern cards. The biggest chain shop is the Mint. I will be going to Japan next month. It is not easy finding vintage cards. If you find any stores with vintage you will be lucky.

If you haven't seen it, my latest auction is now open with vintage Japanese baseball cards and memorabilia.

Do you think there is still a vast supply of Oh rookies out of sight in Japan, or has a large percentage of whatever survived already made its way to US dealers and collectors?

Oh has quite a few different rookies. I know many of them have made their way to the U.S. but I'm sure there are still plenty in Japan. The problem is finding them.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. With respect to the underlying content, I purchased the below from Prestige Collectibles and found it extremely helpful:
