I'd say the "1934" American and Japanese All Stars postcard qualifies. Quotes around 1934 because the postcard almost certainly dates from the 1950s or 1960s but PSA calls it 1934 so everyone wants a thousand dollars for it... the postcard shows used to have these for $25 all the time, because they are not very rare. [getting off soapbox now]

I realize I have no idea who the Japanese players are, but I'm assuming at least one of them must have been an icon, if they got to play against the Americans.

There are about 10 Japanese Hall of Famers in the photo.
SGC started to label the postcard as 1970s

Thanks, guys. I think I'm going to have to do some looking around for this one.
