There are quite a few different tobacco type menko rookie cards of the Legendary Hall of Famer, Shigeo Nagashima. However, Nagashima rookie cards related to candy or gum products are far less common. While the tobacco menko type cards were produced by printing companies and were not sold with product, candy and gum cards, such as this one, were associated with popular Japanese brands, and are thus are more highly prized by collectors in Japan.

Shigeo Nagashima, is still felt by many to be the greatest Japanese baseball player ever. There are more different rookie cards of Nagashima than for any other 20th century player on either side of the Pacific. However, this is a special one. Any Nagashima card collection will be enhanced by the addition of this card.
