Please also see the profile section. 2005 Topps Akinori Otsuka Gold Parallel /2005 This is a card of Akinori Otsuka (also known as Akifumi Otsuka), who achieved a great record of 39 saves and a 2.44 ERA in his major league career, and was the closing pitcher who was lifted up in the inaugural WBC. This card was included in the 2005 Topps set and is a gold parallel version limited to 2005 copies. This is a very good card, even for the centering, which was a weak point. Although it's a 20-year-old card, it has been carefully stored in a dark place with a dehumidifier without being displayed or carried around in an album, so there is no yellowing, burning, or fading. There is also no deterioration such as cracking or peeling due to humidity on the gold foil stamping, and it is in good condition for its age. Please forgive any initial scratches. It is stored in a zippered vinyl bag. It will be wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped. How about it for those who were enthusiastic about the first WBC, fans, or those who were looking for cards from this era?
