2009 Topps WBC Japan Stadium Giveaway Uncut Sheet

 This is a promotional sheet from Topps for the 2009 World Baseball Classic box set. I have the set itself already. I believe the sheet was given out at WBC games here in Japan.
The eight player cards are distributed two per Asian team. I like the promo card at the bottom with multiple languages, even if it is just an ad for Topps.com.

I'm curious if other sheets were given out at other stadiums.

    The sheet was a giveaway at the Pool A games in Tokyo. There was a similar sheet given away at the Pool C games in Toronto. I've never seen sheets for the other two pools (in Mexico City and San Juan) so I'm assuming that they don't exist.

    Three of the cards on this sheet (the two Chinese Taipei players and Byung-Hyun Kim of Korea) do not appear in the WBC box set.

    Very cool sheet. I checked eBay... there's one with Jeter on it. Here's a link:

      I stand corrected. Probably means there's a Mexico City one too.

    Sweet, guys. Thanks for the comments! I'd love to have all three/four sheets as a set, something I'll have to do in the future with so many other things going on now!

      I checked with Arturo, and he can confirm there was a sheet for Mexico City. He sent me a scan and it includes Luke Hughes (AUS), Ryan Rowland-Smith (AUS), Pedro Lazo (Cuba) Yulieski Gourriel (Cuba), Miguel Ojeda (MEX), Geronimo Gil (MEX), Brett Willemburg (South Africa) and Jonathan Phillips (South Africa).

    Okay, so there are four sheets to chase. And I'll probably never really bother searching for those other three. I wonder how often they come up for sale to begin with.
