Player collectors- Konami MLB powerful. Anyone seen these?

So I love it when you come across a card you didn't know existed, especially when it is Japanese. That was the case with this one:




Thought it was kind of cool. Anybody have their player?
More info at: 2006 Konami MLB Powerful - Blowout Cards Forums

Very cool! Just found a minor league card I didn't know existed from 2002 a couple days ago. Not quite as cool as that one but its always fun!

I wonder where a master checklist is, just to make sure I need to keep an eye out for Bags.

That's pretty cool. Always nice to discover oddball stuff of your player! For me 2006 falls between the cardboard careers of my two guys - Olerud and Arencibia, so neither would be in the set.

Along the lines of Japanese cards, anyone chasing the Sega Card-Gen cards of the past few years?

This is the checklist for the two parallel sets. The regular parallel has a foil-board/refractor background, and the rare parallel has a kind of lattice refractor effect on the front.

Here are some of my Japanese Albert Pujols cards:

This is the Konami Powerful Checklist that is included with blaster boxes.

The circles next to certain players denote the ones which have parallel like - refractor and atomic refractor versions. Most players do not have those parallels as previously discussed above in this thread.

I remember when I was in Japan in 1991 while in the USN, I wanted to find baseball cards so badly, but nobody seemed to know where to point me in the right direction. The language barrier didn't help any either. I heard from a few people that could be obtained at the stadium in Tokyo, but it was made to sound like they were complete sets and expensive. i never got to the stadium to check and I never saw anything in packs or stores except some soccer cards that reminded me of action packed cards. I don't understand why Japanese cards and other printed material are so hard to find unless they are just printed in a much, much smaller quantity. That would make sense in the past, if the market was primarily Japan, but with the internet now, your customer base in the world!

I have a few of these in my Red Sox collection. Pretty neat cards.

I got my team set when they came out that year, they're pretty cool. I see one pop up every year or so.

I need the Cantu.

But I collected the 2009 WBC Konamis of Mexico:

Anyone know where to track one of these checklists down?

Finally got the Cantu:
