The colorful, 18 card LiLi gum set is among the scarcest vintage sets, and is also among the most popular with collectors in Japan. The cards were redeemed for prizes, so they are rarely seen today, with only a handful of examples of each card known. Nomura, a catcher, spent over 3,000 games behind the plate! In the history of Japan Pro Baseball, he is first in lifetime games and at bats, and is second in hits, home runs and RBI. He is also known as one of Japan's all time best managers.
Size: 1 1/8" x 1 3/8"
