BGS + eBay Authentication! Nice clean, bold signature! Ichiro was elected on the first ballot to the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers' Association of America ("BBWAA") on 01/21/2025 and inducted on 07/27/2025. He was only 1 vote shy of a unanimous selection! Ichiro also was elected on the first ballot to the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame on 01/16/2025 and is the only player in history to be elected to both! This card was issued in Japan by the Calbee Snack Foods Company when Ichiro became a superstar while playing for the Orix BlueWave of the Nippon Professional Baseball Pacific League. He would go on to play Major League Baseball in the United States, making his debut with the Seattle Mariners in 2001, and cement his status as one of the best to ever play the game.
