Among the most sought after "tobacco style" menko cards produced during the late 1950s and early 1960s are the two subsets of JCM 30a featuring sequential action images of Shigeo Nagashima (HOF), Japan's most beloved player ever, and Masaichi Kaneda, 400 game winner and all time career strikeout leader. This lot consists of numbers 1, 2 and 3 in the four card sequences of each of the two players, with one card of Kaneda and one card of Nagashima comprising each pair. The cards of Nagashima are rookie cards. All cards were originally third prize winners on a display sheet. As such, there is extra paper attached to the back of each pair, as is seen with all such prize winning cards, which does not detract from the value.

Size: Each card is 1 13/16" x 3". Each uncut pair is 3 5/8" x 3".

Condition: Nm/Mt to Mt with extra paper attached to the back as is the case with all prize sheet cards.
