OBSCURE JAPANESE HENSLEY MEULENS
WHITE WHALE LANDED!
WHITE WHALE LANDED!
My weekly searches on Yahoo! Auctions Japan finally paid off and, with the services of Kuboten.com, I have just won the 1994 Chiba Lotte Marines stadium giveaway menko/karuta set I never thought I'd get. Bam Bam is on the third row, second from the left. Once it arrives in a few weeks, I'll post a scan of the whole sheet, front and back.
Given it's relative rarity, even factoring in Kuboten's fees and comission and shipping costs, I think I will still have scored quite a deal. I think I may see if I can work out some way to frame it, maybe in a display with all of his other Japanese cards. To paraphrase one of my favorite old-school NES games, A WINNER IS ME!

ReplyDeleteSweet! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAwesome... congratulations!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm starting to wonder if I'll get it or not. It has been three days since the auction ended and Kuboten has still not paid for it or given me my payment options...
ReplyDeleteCraig's apparently been busy and sick in the last month. I've been through this a couple of times and had the same angst that you're having. It always worked out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, it does make me feel a bit less antsy. I know he had the big slow down last year or the year before, and everything worked out. I really hope he can get his upgraded site sorted out sometime soon.
