Default 2nd November "Recent Pick Up" thread

Posted By: Julie Vognar



HUGE late '40s card of Kawakami (great slugger before OH)



1929 card from Meiji University--no pro leagues yet there.



Mask of first japanese pro 300 game winner, Bessho.




HALF-mask of same guy--much rarer (these masks are to be worn by a child--the eyes on the half mask are punched out, but mask appears not to hasve been worn.



Ghostly card of Starffin--my favorite Japanese (O.K. Russian!) pitcher of the '30s and '40s.



Starffin with his teammates before the All-Japan game against the SF Seals.

And congratulations to Ryan Christoff for his pick up of a signed, game-used Isao Harimoto bat (only Japanese 500 Hr--3000 hit guy) Japanese game used bats are like non existant (except for Ichiro's, and other Japanese playing here--and even they're rare!)
