Default Japanese Catcher in 1932 Sanella Margarine Set?

Posted By: Joann

I just picked up the same card last week. Love how it shows the equipment of the day. The back actually says it is a baseball trainer or coach. That made sense to me - from the people milling around in the background and no stands, it does not appear to have been a game situation (although with colorized pix, not photos, it's hard to be that precise).

I think these were issued in anticipation of the upcoming Olympics? If so, it would probably be an anonymous amatuer bballer.

Nice card.
