Mineo Nakamura was a star pitcher for Meiji U. from 1924 to 1929. In 1928, during the spring and fall seasons, he won 13 Big Six league games. This is quite an impressive feat in that Meiji played only 25 league games during that period. After graduation, he played for the Tokyo team in 1930. Nakamura never played pro baseball.

The JCM 168 set has received the scarcity factor designation of R5 in the Japanese Baseball Card Checklist & Price Guide, Vintage Edition 2.1 by Gary Engel, meaning that five or fewer copies of each card in the set are known.
