BBM's fourth collegiate set was released in April of 2009.
The Tokyo Big Six Spring Version set was a box set containing 60 total cards - 54 player cards (nine from each team) and six team cards. Eleven of those 54 players would go on to play in NPB. Five of those eleven have their first cards ever in this set - Toshiki Abe, Fumiya Araki, Yuya Fukui, Kisho Kagami and Kenta Matsushita.
Here's a summary of the future NPB players in the set. Seven of them are still active.

Here's each player's card from the set plus a card of them from NPB. I've tried to get one of the most recent cards I have for the player although I'm also trying not to repeat cards for players who've been in the previous sets.
