This is the only example of this card ever seen. It is currently uncatalogued in the Japanese Baseball Card Checklist & Price Guide, Vintage Edition. The discovery of this card increases the number of cards known to be in the set to eight, although it is suspected that the set is complete at 12 cards, since each card in the set contains a Japanese number in a circle, and one known card has the number 11 printed in the circle. The player name printed on this card is "Igawa". However, no player with that name appeared for Meiji U. during the 1920s or 1930s, and Inogawa was a star catcher for the Meiji team in 1930, the year of issue for this set. Blank backed.

Size: 2" in diameter

Condition: Ex/Mt to Nm/Mt off centered. This centering is typical of nearly all round menko cards of the era.
