The Susumu Matsushita Gamba Osaka Playing Cards were released in 1992 by Angel Playing Cards Co., Ltd. in Japan to celebrate the professional football team Gamba Osaka in the J.League era. Designed by the renowned illustrator Susumu Matsushita, known for his dynamic and colorful style often featuring exaggerated, cartoon-like characters, the deck combined the excitement of football with collectible appeal. Each card featured lively illustrations of Gamba Osaka players, mascots, and football-themed imagery, making it both a functional playing card set and a tribute to Japanese football culture during the early 1990s boom of the J.League. These cards remain a sought-after item for collectors of sports memorabilia and Matsushita’s art alike.
