The name somewhat unfairly comes from the Broders, a father and son duo who were famous/infamous for publishing unlicensed cards in the 1970's through the 1990's. Ed Broder, the father, had put out a number of "collectors" sets during the 1970's featuring mostly retired players (an All Time Mets team set, a set for the 1962 Mets, Stars of the 1950's, etc) that in many ways resembled the kinds of cards being issued by TCMA around the same time. Rob Broder, the son, is the one who published unlicensed sets of major leagues in the 1980's and 1990's.Ed Border served in the Air Force for a number of years and was stationed in Japan from 1971 to 1977. He published six sets of cards that featured NPB players between 1974 and 1976. Like his cards of MLB players, these card sets were unlicensed by NPB. However, as Gary Engel points out in his "Checklist and Price Guide", "most pre-1975 Japanese cards of all types are unlicensed". Indeed Masanori Murakami told me last summer that he had never seen the 1967 Kabaya-Leaf card of himself until Rob Fitts gave him one a few days earlier. "They have to ask permission now" he said, implying that the card manufacturers never did during his playing days. Quoting again from Engel: "So, despite the stigma sometimes attached to his American issues, Mr. Broder's Japanese player issues are highly collectable". WE HAVE MULTIPLE SETS AND THIS PARTICULAR SET IS A STOCK PHOTO FROM OUR INVENTORY. YOU WILL RECEIVE A SET IN SAME OR BETTER CONDITION.
