In 1951, a team of U.S. Major League baseball all stars traveled to Japan. Facing Japan Pro Baseball opposition, the team rolled to a 13-1-1 record during the series. The three U.S. stars who were the standout performers during the series are featured on this large sized card. Mel Parnell went 4-0 with a 2.25 ERA. Bill Werle was 3-0, 1.54. Dino Restelli batted .358 with three homers. This is the first example that we have ever encountered of this premium card that was originally a second prize winner on a display sheet, as seen by the glue mark on the blank back.

Size: 5 1/4" x 3 1/2"

Condition: Presents as Ex/Mt+ but appears to have been trimmed on three sides.
