Of all Japanese cards, these are the ones most frequently requested by our clients. Once again, we have acquired a number of these cards for our auction. This set is truly a unique example of Japanese traditional artistic sensibility applied to Japanese baseball cards. These large, colorful, lifesize diecuts can be punched out at the eyes and ears so children can wear them. Japan Hall of Famers in this lot include Tetsuharu Kawakami (God of Batting) (lower left), Takehiko Bessho (300 game winner) (upper left), and Jiro Noguchi (won 40 games in a season) (upper center). Other players are Yasuya Hondo (right) and Kiyoshi Sugiura (bottom center).

Size: Each mask is approximately 5" x 7 1/2".

Condition: Nm/Mt All holes are intact. Nothing has been punched out.
