2023 Topps World Baseball Classic Team Japan Trading Card Set Checklist

33 Team Japan cards, eight parallels, two Ichiro inserts and a Roki Sasaki ball relic

2023 Topps World Baseball Classic Team Japan Trading Card Set (product code F23WBCJ01) covers Japan's 2023 World Baseball Classic roster. It is also listed as 2023 World Baseball Classic Team Japan and 2023 Topps WBC Team Samurai, and it is separate from the 2023 Topps World Baseball Classic and Global Stars products.

What's in the checklist

• Base: 33 cards, #1 Team Japan (no individual player) through #33 Hotaka Yamakawa, including #13 manager Hideki Kuriyama
• Parallels: Rainbow, Cherry Blossom, Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow, Red and Gold, each listed for all 33 Base cards. No serial numbering is stated
• Inserts: Ichiro - 2006 and Ichiro - 2009, plus a Roki Sasaki Ball Relic Card, all listed without card numbers, so the numbers are shown as unknown
• Autographs: no autograph category is listed. That doesn't show that none exist

Key subjects

Shohei Ohtani (#17), Roki Sasaki (#16, plus the Ball Relic Card), Yoshinobu Yamamoto (#19) and Shota Imanaga (#29).

Grading considerations

Check centering, corners and edges, and look over the surface for print lines, dents and scratches. With eight color parallels and no serial numbers, compare the color and finish against a known Base card to confirm which version you have. For the relic card, check that the ball piece sits flat in its window. A checklist establishes identity, not condition. See our grading scale.

Scope: this page is a snapshot of the official roster as read on 9 October 2026, showing the 36 cards it lists. It does not claim complete coverage of every card, parallel or version produced. The two Ichiro inserts and the Roki Sasaki Ball Relic have no card numbers in the source and are shown as unknown. Parallel names are listed without serial numbers. No autograph category is listed, which does not show that none exist.
