We have not had the pleasure to offer an example of this card since 2004! Japanese Baseball Cards Checklist & Price Guide, Vintage Edition 4.0 has awarded a scarcity factor of R4 to the Wakamoto set, meaning that between six and 10 examples of this card are known in the hobby. The card front contains player vital information in Japanese text, while the back discusses how Bob Feller and Hiroshi Oshita (HOF) perform so well because they take vitamins! Wakamoto appears to be a vitamin manufacturer who used the cards for promotional purposes.

This is your chance to own a rare Kaoru Betto rookie card.
