Early Sadaharu Oh cards are probably the vintage Japanese cards that are most widely collected by Americans. Moreover, the "Tobacco Menko" style Oh cards are the most popular of the various early styles, possibly because of the similarity in appearance to American tobacco cards of the 1910 era combined with their exotic appearance. Here we have an assortment of six popular cards featuring the World's Greatest Slugger.
