JCM 2 was imported to the US in some quantity in the 1980s. However, most sets still in the hobby seem to have some rounded corners and border darkening. This is one of the finest of these sets that we have encountered. The borders are still off white and the corners exhibit no rounding and few touches. There are eight baseball players in the set including HOFers Tetsuharu Kawakami, Takehiko Bessho, Juzo Sanada and Michinori Tsubouchi. Other players are Takeshi Doigaki, Hideo Shimizu and and two unidentified players (possibly generic). The remaining eight cards are non-sport and include Mickey Mouse, Popeye and Betty Boop. A few years ago, two other cards that appear to be from this set have been discovered. However, only one copy of each card is known to exist. Therefore, the basic set is considered to be complete at 16 cards.
Size: Each card is 1 1/2" x 2 3/8".
Condition: Nm to Nm/Mt with one or two in lesser condition.
