As with the previous lot, this is an extremely rare card from the 1964 JG 1 Morinaga Standup series. Interestingly enough, there is an advertisement for Morinaga Chocolate visible on the stadium wall in the photo. Kiyoshi Ohishi began his career with the Hiroshima Carp in
1959. This three time All-Star won 20 games in three consecutive seasons. He retired in 1970 as a member of the Hankyu Braves.
This is a gorgeous card in all respects. The colors are bold and bright with the original stand on the reverse complete and intact. Only four copies of this card are known to exist. It is an extreme rarity.
