The 20 card JCM 110 set is quite popular with collectors, as it contains very realistic line drawings in color of nearly all the best players of the era, along with the player names in English (although sometimes with odd spellings). Seven of the nine cards in this lot feature Japan Hall of Fame members, including pitching greats Victor Starffin (Russia) (upper left) and Hawaiian Henry "Bozo" Wakabayashi (upper center). Other HOFers in the lot include Juzo Sanada, Michio Nishizawa, Osamu Mihara, Kazuto Tsuruoka (aka Yamamoto) and Tokuji Iida. The two non-HOFers, found in the bottom row are Keizo Tsutsui and Junji Nakatani. This group of cards is in exceptional condition for a lot of JCM 110 cards.

Size: Each card is 1 7/16" x 2 13/16".

Condition: Most are Ex to Nm. The Wakabayashi is Ex/Mt to Nm. The Starffin would be Ex but has a bit of surface peeling on the back at the top.
