These cards are unusually large for 1940s menko. Hiroshi Oshita was known for his blue bat and sordid of-the-field behavior. He was named to eight Best 9 teams and once recorded seven hits in one game. Shigeru Chiba, the "Formidable Buffalo," was one of the greatest second basemen of all time. After his return from service in World War II, he was named to seven consecutive Best 9 teams. Blank backed.

Size: Each card is approximately 5" in diameter.

Condition: Both cards have minor edge chipping in a few spots. Oshita has two small paper abrasions at lower right. Overall: Chiba-Ex to Ex+, Oshita-Vg/Ex.
