It is not known whether this is a partial or complete set, although we suspect that the cards offered here do not constitute a complete set of the issue. The cards are especially interesting in that seven of the cards have the designation "East Team" or "West Team" referring to the annual East-West All Star Games of the late 1940s, rather than the player's team name. HOFers in the lot include American Henry "Bozo" Wakabayashi (3 diff.), Michio Nishizawa, Takehiko Bessho, Kaoru Betto (rookie), Hiroshi Oshita (2 diff.) and Haruyasu Nakajima. Other cards are Doigaki-Tigers & West (2 diff.), Hondo-West, Hibino-West, Fujiwara-East, Nagamochi-East, Tsutsui-Hawks, Kasahara-Hawks, Sugiura-Dragons, Abe-Dragons and Furukawa-Braves. All cards are blank backed.
Size: Each card is approximately 2" x 2 1/8".
Condition: Most cards are Nm/Mt with only a few in lower grade. All Wakabayashi cards are Nm/Mt.
