The Story

物語

A violet-to-white gradient with "STAR LINEUP" struck in gold foil down the right side, Murakami turned sideways in his batting stance, and the serial number written by hand in the lower left: 41 / 55.

Player Narrative

This card was printed in the season after the Triple Crown, when Murakami was the undisputed face of Japanese baseball and Epoch could put him in the Luxury Collection without a word of justification. He is not being introduced here. He is being enshrined.

Card Narrative

The Luxury Collection is Epoch's top shelf — thick stock, heavy foil, on-card signatures, and print runs measured in dozens rather than thousands. Star Lineup is its marquee autograph insert. Fifty-five copies exist of this card. This is number forty-one.

Why It Matters

A fifty-five-copy card in a Gem Mint 10 holder with a perfect signature grade. The population above it is empty by definition.
