This is the first time we have seen these cards, and what makes this lot extra special is that the cards are uncut and still intact inside the magazine. This magazine, entitled Yakyu Shonen no Ehon (Baseball Child Picture Book), contains cards of eight professional players and two college players: Tokuji Iida (HOF), Shigeru Chiba (HOF), Fumio Fujimura (HOF), Tsukamoto-Braves, Hondo-Robins, Isegawa-Stars, Kuroo-Braves, Kunieda-Dragons, Kageyama (Waseda Univ.) and Isoda (Meiji Univ.). Both college players went on to play professional baseball.
Size: The uncut sheet measures 7 1/8" x 10" (same size as the magazine). Individual cards would measure 2" x 3 1/4" if cut from the sheet. The magazine has 27 pages.
