Love that slight motion blur on the ball. Just adds a bit of life!

I chase a bunch of the 3,000th hit stuff, here’s my favorite (not a 3,000 hit card but photo from that day).

Does anyone know of any other outlets where Ichiro collectors congregate? Most outlets seem kind of dead.

Or any cool sites? Japanese sites maybe?

I know of 2. Which most here have probably already visited too. icollectichiro and collectingichiro.... any other ones?

I’ve had this card in my collection since 2001. I just now decided to take a photo of it.. lol. I love the overall look and how you can actually feel the “seams” on the card.

JPWisco · 05-06-2021, 04:54 AM

I have that Ovation card too. (And the Matsui). That Atomic 2011 is a beaut. Well done.

fulltritty · 05-06-2021, 05:10 AM

I wish Topps would have been able to make more Ichiro cards when he was a Yankee.

From 2013 - 2015 there was nothing. I would always ask during the Q&A at the National if they would ever be able to produce them again.

BestRCs · 05-24-2021, 01:33 PM

Picked this one up not too long ago. Looking for the gold /10 if anyone has one.

Just noticed this thread for the first time. Here is my contribution. I pulled this about four years ago I think...?

Such a beautiful card.
There was a BGS 9.5 of that card on eBay a year or so ago, and I forgot to make the final bids.

I really like the cards from "The Mint", but the boxes were too expensive, and it kind of got pushed away with all the other high end releases like Definitive/Diamond Icons/Luminaries.
They only made that product for that one year in 2016.
I hope they bring back the product someday.
I still have "2016 Topps The Mint" on my eBay saved search lol

Pretty pumped about adding this Ichiro patch to my growing HOF (and soon to be HOF) patch collection. This card was inserted into various 2003 Upper Deck baseball products, with many coming out of UD Series 1. Although unnumbered, the Ichiro card has a known print run of /46.

There is no way to prove it, but I believe the material in the card to be from his 2001 RC year. Here is how my research leads me to believe that:

1. 2003 Upper Deck Series 1 baseball was released in November 2002
2. Upper Deck's website states "The production of a trading card product ranges from 3-9 months long, depending on the complexities and elements needed for a particular product."
3. The 3-9 month range puts this set being manufactured/produced between February 2002-August 2002
4. Since this is a patch card, I'm led to believe this would be around the 9 month production range, potentially having this card ready to be made in February of 2002
5. Regardless which month in 2002 the card was made, I don't see how Upper Deck would have acquired a jersey so early in the 2002 year to produce the card the same year to be ready by November 2002
6. How the patch in this card is NOT from Ichiro's 2001 RC year is beyond me

It's such a beautiful card for sure! Ichiro's first Silver Prizm (2012)! And to the right, his 2nd Silver Prizm (2013)

Oddly enough, with all the craziness happening in the hobby currently, it has drawn me back to the basics of collecting. Ichiro, one of, if not THE, best to ever do it, in my opinion.
