Panini released their 2024 "Donruss" set a few weeks back and, like several of their sets last year, it includes a card of Tomoyuki Sugano of the Yomiuri Giants. I saw someone selling it on Ebay last week for $1.50 and I added it to my watchlist while I decided whether or not I really wanted to buy it. After the seller offered me 10% off, I decided to go for it. (Obviously I was concerned I'd lose the house if I forked over that extra 15 cents.) It showed up today and it's not a bad looking card, at least as far as unlicensed cards from Panini go:

There's some insane number of parallels for this card - or at least what I think is an insane number. There's 43(!) parallels of it and every other card in the set I think. Unlike last year, there does not appear to be an autographed Sugano card available, although perhaps that might be offered in a later Panini release this year.
