  1. Both of the ads on this site are in Japanese or Chinese or something similar (I wouldn't know how to tell which). What's up with that?

    That's an impressive list, and it's a good idea you prioritized the players. But (maybe you already did this) what are you looking for from each player? Just base? Whatever you can get your hands on? An autograph?

  2. it's a chinese ad for HSBC.
    pretty weird.

    I like the format of your starting nine list by the way, makes it clear what you collect.
