1997 Score Hobby Reserve Baseball Forum

A question for anyone that got the #551 Hideki Irabu Japanese SP from Hobby Reserve packs: does this card have the "HR" prefix like the rest of the set, or is it just #551 without the prefix? The "Reserve Collection" parallel includes the "HR" prefix, but I can't find anything on COMC or ebay that shows a plain white #HR551.

I'm also wondering if the one currently listed in the Retail Hobby Reserve parallel doesn't belong there since everything I've seen indicates the Series 2 Retail packs only had this base English version.
 

I can help you with this one, Ed, because I had the same concern myself when I went through my set to remove any cards missing the "HR" prefix. From what I can tell, the Hobby Reserve version does not have the "HR" prefix on it, plus I believe it's only available in the Japanese version.

Thanks for confirming!
