This is only the second example of this Sadaharu Oh rookie card ever seen in the hobby. Despite its rough hand cut, it is in better condition than the other example, which we offered in 2007, as that card had no top border. Oh is shown here as a pitcher. Originally, because of Oh's stellar high school career as both a pitcher and hitter, it was unknown whether the Yomiuri Giants would keep him on the mound. Obviously, moving him to first base was the correct decision. This is your opportunity to obtain a rookie card of one of baseball's all time greatest players which is 100 times scarcer than a T-206 Wagner!

Size: 1 13/16" x 3"

Condition: The front and back images are in outstanding condition. However, the card can be graded only Vg due to a rough hand cut on three sides.
