Can anyone list some online sports cards stores?  Currently I only know of the sites in America like Rob’s Japanese Cards Yakyu Shop or Prestige Collectibles.  I’d like to be able to browse and order from some actual stores in Japan rather than just using Yahoo Auctions.

Thanks!

To answer my own question, so far I’ve found:

http://www.wing-24.com

http://mint-web.jp/
Mint is a franchise of collectibles stores carrying all kinds of stuff in addition to just sports cards.  There are several stores scattered across Tokyo.  While they apparently have a very large, and at times very cheap, inventory in-store, the website doesn’t seem to have that much for sale outside the most recent products.  You can read about them on Deanna Rubin’s blog:

Since there’s a space in the URL, for some reason the link doesn’t work, so you may need to copy & paste the address into your browser.

The browser title bar calls them the “Single Card Marketplace”

They sell a wide assortment of sports and non-sports singles.

---edit---
One more I’ve found is Mitchael Trading at

Treasure Box - geared more toward trading card games, but that includes Konami’s products!

Thanks to an issue of Sports Card Magazine I picked up from Scott Kaneko on eBay, here are a few more online card shops to choose from:

I just placed an order with Mitchael-Trading.com via KuboTEN.  Unfortunately, one of the items I was hoping to get was out of stock, but that’s just less money spent.  I’ll post here and to my blog about how it goes.

NPBCardGuy over at the Japanese Baseball Cards Blog pointed out this site:

http://www.amiami.com/shop/?set=english

They are based in Japan and sell a huge assortment of Japanese dolls/figures, but also carry current lines of game cards and trading cards by the box and they deliver internationally!  I guess technically, KuboTEN’s services aren’t required for this particular site, but they offer another option.
