We had this rookie card and photo signed in person on December 8, 2015 in Tokyo, Japan. Murakami signed his name in Japanese and English on the photo, and added #10, the
number he wore during his 1964 rookie season. The card was also signed in Japanese and English, but does not include the uniform number. The photo was printed from the
original Topps negative used to produce the baseball card. The negative was purchased directly from the Topps archive. It can be seen that the image used on the Topps
rookie card was cropped. For example, part of the lettering on Murakami's San Francisco Giants uniform can be seen in the original photo, but not on the card. Autographed
in blue marker.
Size: The baseball card is 3 1/2" x 2 1/2". The photo is 8" x 10".
Condition: The baseball card is Ex/Mt. The photo is Mint. All signatures grade 10 of 10.
