Sadaharu Oh and Henry Aaron 1977 Calbee -- Hooked it
So I hooked a white whale of mine. Bought it from one of the foremost Japanese card historians. Probably overpaid. But I'm ok with that in this case.
But I love the symmetry between Sadaharu Oh's story as someone who endured discrimination in Japan for a long time as his father was Chinese (Oh still apparently holds Taiwanese citizenship), with that of Henry Aaron, whose struggles are well known and well documented. I'm not sure if there are other vintage-ish cards with icons from two countries. If so, I'd love to learn more about them as well. Last edited by bk400; 09-01-2024 at 09:48 AM.
