Why This Card Matters

Hotaka Yamakawa is a four-time Pacific League home run king, taking the title with 47 in 2018, 43 in 2019, 41 in 2022 and 34 in 2024, and he was PL MVP in 2018 when he hit 47 with 124 RBI. He is the fastest Japanese-born player to 100, 150 and 200 career home runs, and he passed 250 in September 2024. The 2024 season on this card was his first with SoftBank after signing away from Seibu in December 2023, and he won the PL home run and RBI double crown in it, then took Climax Series Final Stage MVP. This is the tobacco-sized Mini on the Gold Border parallel, serial numbered 30/50.

About the Mini Gold Border

2024 Topps 206 NPB rebuilds the classic 1909 T206 tobacco-card design around Nippon Professional Baseball. The Mini is the format that takes the homage furthest: it is printed at the actual size of a 1909 T206 tobacco card, roughly 1 1/2 by 2 3/4 inches, noticeably smaller than the standard card. Minis are pulled far less often than the standard base cards and are the version set builders chase. This copy is serial numbered 30/50, so only 50 exist.
