Ichiro Passes Ty Cobb, But Did He Get A Kellogg's Card When They Were Issued in Japan? Is Rose Next?

I've seen a few Kellogg's cards on ebay that originate from Japan.  They feature MLB players.   I've not seen a set offered or a checklist.  If you have that information, please pass it along.  I saw a dealer at the National who specialized in Japanese cards, but he only had vintage ones.  He didn't know anything about the Kellogg's cards that I'd seen on ebay a few times.

Ichiro recorded hit number 4,192 today when including his numbers from Japan.  That places him ahead of Ty Cobb and in pursuit of Pete Rose's 4,256.




He should have no problem passing Rose if he plays next year.

Both Rose and Cobb did one thing that Ichiro has yet to do.  Both managed while playing.  Maybe Mr. Suzuki will do that in the future.

Where else is he already ahead of Rose and Cobb?  Ichiro made big money by playing baseball at the right time.  Rose tried to make money gambling on baseball and Cobb made big money from some sound investments.   I'm not sure who wins here.

Cobb's image took a beating by how he was remembered by players, portrayed in books about him even as a small part of the movie Field of Dreams.  Rose and his betting has tarnished some of what he did on the field.  I haven't heard anything bad about Ichiro so he must be doing something right.

Congratulations and best of luck pursuing 3,000 hits in major league baseball and 4,257 total hits.
