This is the first example of any card from this set that we have ever encountered. Possibly, this was an item sold at the ballpark, but we are not certain. This large bromide of Hall of Famer Futoshi Nakanishi wearing a traditional Japanese yukata is mounted in a frame with an easel. When the bromide is removed from the frame, a group of 10 facsimile autographs of Lions players is seen, including Nakanishi (lower right) and HOFers Kazuhisa Inao (lower center) and Hiroshi Oshita (right side). The frame has a title at the top - Famous Player Signed Set. The second line of text is "Nishitetsu Lions Yukata". We suspect that there may be 10 framed cards in the set - one for each player whose signature appears on the frame. The card is blank backed.

Size: Card - 3 1/8" x 4 3/4" Frame - 4" x 6 3/8".

Condition: The frame is Ex/Mt. The card has corner damage from being mounted in the frame.
