Joe DiMaggio Japanese Card ID Help

I've had this card/sheet for awhile and know it has cards of Joe Dimaggio and Russian-born great Victor Starffin. A year, catalogue number, and approximate value would be appreciated.

It looks like a late 40's-early 50s sheet of Menko cards.

Great looking cards! The graphics on them are really quite nice. I have nothing useful to say regarding your question though

I'm with Ben, I don't know what they are but they look sharp. The non-baseball cards mixed in maxed it only more interesting.

James, you might wish to contact the below guy. He's written & co-written a number of books and booklets on Japanese baseball and Japanese baseball cards. I've talked to him before and he's a nice guy.

There are a ton of uncatalogued Menko sets, tho, based on its style, I'd place it around 1949 or 1950. It's a cool item. I remember it on ebay and just didn't have the scratch to bid.

I had 2 of these sheets, one of which I sold in a Mastro auction several years ago. I will look to see if they are identical to this one.
