Ziveus is relatively new to the boards. He recently ran a Card Gen contest, and I was fortunate enough to be a winner. He airmailed me my wonderful cards from, literally, the other side o0f the world at no cost whatsoever to me. This gentleman is an asset to our hobby, and I will definitely be keeping in touch.

I think so too, jonathani.

I also won cards in Ziveus' contest and they arrived yesterday. Thanks Kenny for a great sampling of Japanese cards.

I think if Topps did something like Sega CardGen, we would have many more collectors, especially kids.

Pretty cool. -Does Beckett list Japanese cards in the database? Are their different brands/versions of Japanese MLB-licensed products? I'd be curious to see what they look like.

I also agree, great person!

I'm wondering how Sega got MLB licensing, when Topps has an exclusive.

I didn't know what brand to look for, but after you mentioned Sega, I looked one up on ebay. Here's a Sega Mike Stanton. Pretty cool: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SEGA-CARD-GEN-ML...4d06d69c96

I wouldn't mind picking up some of these for novelty purposes.

Looks like Beckett doesn't list these though.

Also, I'm assuming Topps' license only covers North America. There's probably a separate licence for Asia.

Thanks for the kind words .

Oh yeah, you're right. Forgot Topps was exclusive North America.
