Item Description
1-7/16x2-7/8". Fronts are identical in style to JCM 1, except that some player names are printed only in Japanese. Moreover, many of the images are the same in both sets.  In this set, many of the fronts can be found in several color scheme variations. This checklist doesn't take those variations into account.  Backs are printed in blue ink. A menko number is found in a blue strip at the top. A player's headshot (not usually the player on the card front) is found just below the number, with that player's name in English script just below that. The bottom portion contains a large baseball with the name, team and uniform number of the player in the headshot. Any card front can be found with any back. Non-sport cards also exist with the same back.

Tadashi Wakabayashi was a professional baseball player from Oahu, Hawaii. He was a second generation Japanese American. He was inducted into the Japanese Baseball HOF in 1964. Designated by SGC as being from the "Richard Merkin Collection" and comes with Hake's COA.
