Description

Ichiro's 1st ever US licensed card - Ichiro's Holy Grail. The card pictures Ichiro as a special guest at a 1995 NBA exhibition game in Japan. UD made a limited number of cards, all of which were given to Ichiro. Several are on display at the Ichiro Museum in Japan. This is the only baseball card known to exist that — either directly or indirectly — came from Ichiro's personal "collection."
