Any 'finds' overseas?

[chalupacollects]

Found some non-sport and "off-sport" cricket and such in Hamburg in an antique store...

Cool soccer cards. Is there anything on the backs?
Find any Pele cards?

As a boxing collector I get cards from all over the world via mail order. I haven't been there but I love to show this pocket-sized Korean folding card of Hank Aaron:

The English translation is: 'I never took performance enhancing drugs.'

No, but definitely Canada over the years!

From Argentina, Nobleza De Tabacos.

So my question for you guys that have picked up sports or non-sports cards overseas: did you get them at a fraction of the price you'd pay here? In other words, are pieces of cardboard/cards in general under-appreciated as a whole outside of the US?

What about Einstein cards--or cards of other "figures" with global importance, like Marilyn Monroe? I would bet they are more valued and are listed on eBay with those inflated BINs.

Here’s the back. No Pele, only Spanish players and teams. He does have some weird Jordan’s though.

Neat card of Hank. My Korean is a bit rusty-what do his jersey and the panel below say, I wonder.....

[prestigecollectibles]

The jersey says Beksul Ham. Which is now owned by CJ Foods. The panel below on the left lists Aaron's different records and accomplishments. The right side is a glossary of baseball terms like perfect game, balk, triple play, etc.

It is from a 1982 tour that the pro baseball league in Korea, which was just starting, arranged with Aaron and Ernie Banks. Haven't found a Banks card, yet.

I knew someone here could translate the Korean (I am assuming you were not kidding about the ham).

Awesome Pele and Ali cards! I will keep an eye out for them as I travel.

I have found both sports related and many non-sports when traveling in Europe. Here are a few examples picked up there and on Net54.
