The 1975 NST set is a tribute to Japan's Mr. Baseball, Shigeo Nagashima. Nagashima is considered by many to be Japan's greatest 20th century player and is also regarded as a cultural icon. In terms of hero worship, his popularity is similar to that of Mickey Mantle in the U.S., only much greater. 1974 marked the final year of Nagashima's career as an active player, while 1975 was his first year as Yomiuri Giants manager. NST capitalized on these two big news stories by creating a set of "stamps" (more like thin cards). While the majority of cards in the set depict Nagashima, many other players are represented with at least one card in the set. All cards are pasted into a giant sized album (Nagashima cover) that could be purchased with cards from the set.

Several cards depict U.S. Major League players including Brooks Robinson (2 cards), Boog Powell, Ron Cey, Gene Mauch, Mickey Vernon and Jack McKeon. Americans playing in Japan found in this set include George Altman and Davey Johnson.

Notable Japanese players other than Nagashima with cards include 37 HOF/Golden Players, some with multiple cards, including Sadaharu Oh (11 cards), Isao Harimoto (3), Masaichi Kaneda (4), Wally Yonamine (2), Tetsuharu Kawakami (4), Yutaka Fukumoto (2), Sachio Kinugasa, Kazuhisa Inao (2), Katsuya Nomura (2), Shinichi Eto (3), Tsuneo Horiuchi (4), Isao Shibata (4), Kenichi Yazawa (2), Michio Arito, Tadashi Sugiura, Tatsuro Hirooka (3), Koji Yamamoto, Makoto Matsubara, Masaji Hiramatsu, Tsutomu Wakamatsu, Yutaka Enatsu, Hideji Kato, Minoru Murayama, Hiroyuki Yamazaki, Morimichi Takagi, Hisashi Yamada, Choji Murata, Yoshio Yoshida, Takeshi Koba, Osamu Mihara, Noboru Akiyama, Toshiharu Ueda, Yukio Nishimoto, Kazuto Tsuruoka, Shigeru Mizuhara, Futoshi Nakanishi and Kazuhiro Yamauchi.

Size: Each card is 1 15/16" x 2 7/8". The album is 10 1/2" x 13 1/2".

Condition: All cards would be at least Nm if they had not been pasted into the album. The album has a punch hole through each page which does not affect the cards. There is writing on the cover and a few other pages. Overall, the album itself is Fair to Good.
