Thanks Nat! Its a pretty cool find, isn’t it? In addition to featuring a US player another odd feature is that it uses a photo, almost all pre 50s menko I have ever seen use drawings of the players instead.
I agree about the cataloguing, the Engel’s guide is absolutely great but there are still a fair number of uncatalogued sets out there still being discovered, especially pre 1950 stuff.
Its also worth noting that the only guide for anything pre 1973 here is Engel, which is written in English. There is still no Japanese language equivalent for collectors here to use.
