1963 sadaharu oh card
 

I saw this card in a consignment shop on the right in my photo for $45. It has chipping along the top edge but otherwise nice condition. I have no experience with Japanese cards and internet searches tell me that is on the high side by about $10. These were all hand cut and are not scarce, right? Thanks

Can you upload it somewhere else and then post the link? Hard to tell anything with a tiny sideways image. Did you happen to take a picture of just that card?

Jap cards?

I'm not a PC person by any stretch of the imagination but I'm pretty sure "Jap" is not acceptable in a public setting. At least that's what my kids tell me.

I think it was likely just an inopportune time to be lazy and abbreviate.

+1

hard to tell from pic but if it is the one i think it is thats about what its full retail value is. If the condition is as you describe low/mid

This is a closer shot of the card
 

The corners are straight and does not look hand cut. Worth ~$50? (Sorry about that!)

I'm sure you are right. Being of Mexican heritage married to a woman of Japanese heritage has perhaps made me overly sensitive to such things lately. No harm no foul. Nonetheless that's a cool card. If you ever get a chance to read Oh's bio it is a really fascinating read.

Looks like an awesome card of an all-time great, if that's what your looking for. If you get it graded by PSA, they'll likely give it a MC (miscut) qualifier because of the image from the next card on the left edge.

The card is from the 1964 JCM 14g set. The list price in Engel's guide (the Japanese card version of Beckett) is $175, which I suspect is a bit higher than the market, but certainly 50$ is not a bad deal for it.

Side note to the guy who said "Jap": I'm not Japanese but my wife and both my children are. I'll respectfully ask you not to use the term because you insult my kids when you do so.

Clearly looks hand cut to me but they are allowed to be thats how they were issued its not like a hand cut 1980 topps card it is like a strip card or other that that is how they were distributed. Hand cut isn't bad when thats how they were intended to be issued.

Nice card.
In the future I could see myself collecting his cards.
Seems like it be fun and interesting.
