Kawakami, The God of Batting, is shown here in mid-swing. The card was originally a first prize winner premium on an unknown display sheet. As such, like all first prize winner cards, the blank back contains extra paper and glue from previous attachment to the display sheet. Mr. Kawakami is shown wearing a uniform worn by the Giants only during the 1945 to 1947 seasons. As we have never seen a postwar, pre-1947 display sheet, we are assuming that this card was issued in 1947.

Size: 8 1/8" x 10 7/8"

Condition: Corners and gloss are Nm. However, there is very light creasing which can be seen on the blank back. Also, a very small chip at the lower left border.
