Back 20+ years ago I heard the Japanese were big time collectors of American BB cards.
Not sure if that was true then but with their love for BB as well, I can't help but to think, maybe there was some truth to it?
Not sure today, (if the story was true) if they still are, but if they are not, then what happened?
