Any Japanese Baseball or Sumo Wrestling at the National?

Was just curious if any dealers in the foreign cards were there....especially from the other side of the Pacific in Japan.

There was one dealer that was mostly (all?) Japanese Baseball.

Saw these guys. Actually stopped and chatted them up a bit. They were very friendly and had some very cool vintage Japanese sumo and baseball. All of their stuff was way out of my comfort zone, as I have no knowledge of any of this stuff. But I can say, it was very fun to look at and talk with the guys. Bought a couple Japanese Otani cards from them. One of the guys at the booth did the cover design for the only Japanese vintage price guide.

Very cool, that was probably Gary Engel as he is the one that publishes the price guide. They always pull out the high-end stuff for sure.
