This is the first time that we have had the opportunity to offer the JK 33 set. The set carries a designation of R5 in the Japanese Baseball Card Checklist & Price Guide, Vintage Edition 2.1 by Gary Engel, meaning that five or fewer copies are known of each card. Therefore, the winning bidder will be one of the few individuals to own a copy of this set.
