Konami anyone ?

I recently noticed a cool card on eBay and given it's a Glavine card I had to chase it of course. It's a 2006 or 2005 Konami card. Browsing through my Glavine beckett list I was not able to track it down on that on, making this even a more interesting one ! I only know Konami from MSX videogames from when I was a kid. Meet my first Konami card !


Do you guys own any Konami cards ? Any more detail one these ?

  1. I'm working on a post for these Japanese exclusives. I also created a thread for these on Blowout cards a few moons ago if you want some quick information.

    In a nutshell this was Konami's attempt at making a MLB style Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game. Complete with game board, cards that made things happen or made things screw up and pebbles.

  4. I'll wait to see what Kenny says about this set, but yeah they're basically a card game using MLB players. There are a couple long-running NPB-based card games still being made/updated every year, but MLB card games don't seem to last so long.

    Personally, I'd love to track down a full set of the '06 issue you see here and the full WBC set.
