A dazzling JCM 21 uncut sheet just like this one graced the cover of the second edition of the Japanese Baseball Card Checklist & Price Guide in 1996. The key card is the joker, which features Babe Ruth in one of his rare Japanese card appearances. The set is also notable in that it contains cards of two Japan Hall of Famers (Tokuru Konishi and Kenjiro Matsuki) otherwise rarely seen on cards. There are a total of 15 other Japan Hall of Fame members in the set--Juzo Sanada, Yoshiyuki Iwamoto, Makoto Kozuru, Michio Nishizawa, Michinori Tsubouchi, Shigeru Sugishita, Shunichi Amachi, Takehiko Bessho, Tetsuharu Kawakami, Shigeru Chiba, Hideo Fujimoto, Hiroshi Nakao, Shigeru Mizuhara, Noboru Aota and Fumio Fujimura.

Size: Individual cards are 1 1/16" x 1 11/32". The sheet is 15 1/4" x 11 5/16".

Condition: The sheet is Near Mint due to light corner touches. The Babe Ruth card and nearly all others would be Mint if cut from the sheet.
