This is a series of 51 different Ichiro cards, made in December 2002 as promotional souvenirs for a V.I.P. group of Mariners fans taking a privately chartered boat cruise in 2003, which included a Seattle vs. Oakland game at Safeco Field.
Each card is a one-of-one issue, with a circular gold foil seal on the front and another sealing the top loader.
Includes a baseball card-like Certificate of Authenticity, custom made for each card in the series. Unlike most certificates that are generic, these are individually numbered ("1 of 51," "2 of 51," etc.) and match the sequence as listed below. Click here to see a sample COA.
Here are the 51 Ichiro cards in this series, which includes selections from all four of the then-major U.S. makers: Donruss (9); Fleer (9); Topps (12); Upper Deck (21). Date shown is of original year of issue.
