This special card was found in packages of Glico Caramel. The card, featuring Mr. Tigers, Fumio Fujimura, is quite special, as it entitles the bearer to 50 points toward the Glico prize redemption program. This is the only known example of this card in the hobby. The reason is unsurprising. Most Glico baseball cards have values of 1, 2 or 5 points toward prize redemptions. Obviously, a 50 point card would be produced in very small quantities to save the company millions of dollars in prizes. According to the card back, prizes start at only 60 points. For example, a baseball requires only 80 points and a baseball glove only 250.

Size: 1 1/2" x 2 1/8"
