Thanks. It's not often I get a chance to share cards except with other Japanese baseball collectors.

The two gum cards (1960 Lili top left and 1960 Jintan bottom right) are scarce, but you definitely see them around.

The bottom left card is from the uncommon but not rare 1959 Marumatsu scoreboard back set (JCM 32e) but is quite unusual with the purple bat. As far as I can tell, it is the only known copy in the hobby.

What set is the one with Nagashima from?

I believe it is also from JCM 32e, the card listed in the 2019 guide as #1.3. However, I'm still looking for another copy of that card so I can confirm it (unfortunately the menko number on that set are no help identifying the cards). It also has the first prize stamp on the back...which really does nothing for values, but personally I always like the prize cards.

Not mine, but one of the coolest cards I have ever seen.

I like that card, too. There's a beat up copy in my collection but the one you posted is very clean. Is that the one on ebay now? That seller has some very aspirational prices! He has an OC Hoshi Gangu for $150K or something like that....

Exactly.
