Jintan Gum cards have always been a favorite with collectors because of their shape, which resembles a stick of chewing gum. This is the result of the cards being packed in traditional gum packs a la Wrigleys. The cards are quite scarce. In fact, there is no known complete set of JF 8 in the hobby. The cards in this lot are: (top row, left to right) Toshiyuki Nakamura, Kiyoshi Doi, Tatsuro Hirooka (HOF), Kazuhiko Sakazaki (bottom row, left to right) Yukio Shimada, Kazuhiko Kondo, Takeshi Kuwata, Shoichi Busujima and Hachiro Yamamoto.

Size: Each card is 3/4" x 2 3/4"'.

Condition: Range--Vg-Ex/Mt. Average condition--Ex+
