Cards from the ultra rare Marui Decorative Bromide w/Small Image set had been seen only very very occasionally until we discovered several unopened tabas quite recently. Known as the "Human Locomotive", Shosei Go is one of the few Taiwanese stars enshrined in the Japan Pro Baseball Hall of Fame. The tiny, fleet footed outfielder was often considered to be the fastest player of his era. In a career spanning the years 1937 to 1957, he played for the Giants, Tigers and Orions. No cards were issued of Go prior to 1947, so this is a rookie card. Blank backed.

Size: Approximately 1 3/4" x 2 5/8".
