These menko contain accurate player representations (and accurate Tarzan images, too!). The baseball cards are all found in the center columns of the sheet, preserving them in outstanding condition. The Japanese Baseball Card Checklist & Price Guide Vintage Edition assigns a scarcity factor of R4 to this set, meaning that fewer than 10 copies of each card are known in the hobby. All non-baseball cards are Tarzan cards. The baseball players are: (top row) Junji Nakatani (left), Hiroshi Oshita (HOF) (right), (second row) Tetsuharu Kawakami (HOF) (left), Yoshio Tenpo (right), (third row) Kaoru Betto (HOF) (left), Kazuo Matsumoto (right), (bottom row) Michio Nishizawa (HOF) (left), Hideo Shimizu (right).

Size: Each card is 1 1/16" x 2 5/8". The uncut sheet is 5 5/16" x 10 1/2".

Condition: The sheet is Ex/Mt due to touches at the upper and lower left corners (Tarzan cards). There is a small area of discoloration on the front border between the Nakatani and Oshita cards. Nearly all cards would be Nm/Mt or Mint if cut from the sheet.
