Description

Baseball in Japan dates to the 1870's and is Japan's most popular sport. Professional baseball in Japan dates to the 1920's. This card, produced in Japan not long after the end of World War II, features catcher Keizo Tsutsui of the Japan Pacific League's Nankai Hawks. Graded examples (not just authenticated ones) are extremely tough to find from this set and this one is no exception with an ultra-low total population of 3! This is a truly stunning example with fantastic centering, dark printing front and back as well as crystal-clear focus. Japanese baseball cards produced until the early 1960's have truly unique formats and can be found with a wide variety of color, black & white or combination designs. This would be a great addition to any baseball card collection!
