Default Help: Post Cool Looking Menko Cards

I don't collect Japanese Menko cards, but I think they are really cool looking. My local fair (Spokane) is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1973 World's Fair. This year's theme is international "Traveling Around the World." I entered my Lou Gehrig card mosaic in the 2023 fair, and want to enter another in 2024. In order to fulfill the theme I want to recreate a menko card, preferably a HOF'er. I only know Sadaharu Oh, but I didn't see any neat menko card of him when I did a Google search. If you know of a colorful Oh card, please post; but it can be other star players as well.. Thanks in advance!

That's his name at the top of the card in the kanji. The kanji in the middle of the card says "Giants," it was the team that he played for.

A couple more menko attached (not because they're any better than Sean's, mostly just as an excuse to post pictures of menko cards).

Thanks. I like the Bettoh card. It looks like he's moving across the card face with those wind lines behind him.
