These off-white bordered cards contain colorized drawings of Japanese baseball scenes. Only three players are named on the cards--Hiroshi Oshita (HOF) second row center, Tetsuharu Kawakami (HOF) 2 cards, second row right and third row left, and Keio University star Hidekazu Iwanaka--top left and bottom right. Iwanaka is described on his card as a pitcher, even though he was an outfielder! There is also an image of an unnamed Yomiuri Giant receiving a goose, probably pitcher Tokuji Kawasaki. The remaining cards are generic.

Size: Sheet--4 1/2" x 9". Each card--1 7/16" x 2 1/4".

Condition: Sheet--Extensive corner wear and clipping. The Oshita card in the center and Kawakami card at right would probably be high grade if cut from the sheet.
