Roboto Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 After 17 years Osaka made the final run in 2010 with the OT34R and OT34B versions using there last remaining parts. Both version had 18 makes and the cards were now made different in a paper form unlike the 1993 cards done in a metal flex look and feel to them.
