JF 4 cards were imported into the U.S. in the late 1960s principally by a member of the U.S. armed forces, the late Mel Bailey. The cards were made available to the fledgling U.S. baseball card hobby until the suply ran out in the early 1970s. About 125 sets were imported. Cards that are not part of this imported horde are rarely encountered today, either in the U.S. or Japan.

Size: Each card is 2 3/8: x 3 3/8".

Condition: Yoshida and Hirose are graded PSA 7 (NM). Nishizawa is graded PSA 6 (Ex/Mt).
