the almost daily dodger - hideo nomo

after posting some hiroki kuroda cards last week and mentioning hideo nomo in that post, i figured i would make the next "almost daily dodger" installment all about the 1995 national league rookie of the year. i have had a few nomo cards in my scanned folder for awhile, and here they are!

1995 bowman's best
this card was unattainable in 1995

1998 pacific aurora on deck laser cut
there is a lot going on with that card. add some more foil treatment and it is peak 1990's insert!

2003 fleer tradition b&w goudey
this is a square-ish card, numbered on the back

2004 upper deck etchings
this one is the newest to me, as it was a throw in to complete a sportlots order sometime in the summer

2004 upper deck play ball
this was at one time a nefarious nine need of mine. i think i have seen those clouds on some topps heritage cards circa 2021.

with these cards, i am approaching 500 dodger cards for nomo. i don't know that i have any of his non-dodger cards in my mini-collections, but most of those aren't entered into tcdb yet anyway. i am guessing i will eventually hit 500 but i don't see myself getting too far past that milestone.

  1. 500 Nomos featured as a Dodger is impressive. I have around 250 different Nomos... but that includes stuff from outside the Dodgers.
