Two of these cards are from the same set (left and center). The one in the center depicts Makoto Kozuru, the all time single season RBI leader and the first Japanese to hit 50 homers in one season. The other (left) depicts Noboru Aota, the Giants outfielder who would be a Hall of Fame member if not for alleged ties to a Japanese crime syndicate! The other card (right) contains an image of Tetsuharu Kawakami, Japan's greatest hitter before Oh, Nagashima and Harimoto. The "God of Batting" as he was known is shown swinging his trademark red bat.

Size: Each card is approximately 1 1/4" x 2 3/4".

Condition: Ex to Ex/Mt
