Foreign cards 2nd part

[scgaynor]

The vari-vue stamp/cards were issued by Ajman in the United Arab Emirates. Too bad they are not worth more, they are pretty cool.

Leon, if you ever have questions about Japanese baseball cards please drop me a line. There are more guides and reference material on Japanese cards than any other foreign baseball cards. Many collectors of Japanese cards don't read or write Japanese but do enjoy finding rare prewar cards of American and Japanese players to add to their collections. The best thing about collecting Japanese cards is finding new issues that date back 50 years or more.

Hi Robert, love that Paul Waner Japanese card. Are there others US players in that set?


Also if you know, can you tell me what the Japanese catalog number is on this 1949 era Dino Restelli card??? and maybe how many SF Seals players there are in it?

4 foreign WAJOs.

WOW, Val, I never saw a Tomas Gutierrez WaJo before.

Hi Frank,
After 20 years of searching, Waner is currently the only American player known from this issue. However, I have seen a few Japanese players from this set.

Your Restelli / Dempsey card is from the 1949 JCM 45 set. The front and back of each card features two different players. There are currently 19 known cards in this set of which 13 cards feature Seals players on the front. There are many other sets from 1949 that feature Seals players as well.

Best regards,
Robert

Hi Phil - Even though it is in pathetic condition, I am thrilled to have a TG/Diaz Cigs card of WAJO. Actually, there is a Board member who has a much, much nicer example (at least he did when we communicated about a year ago) - perhaps he will show it.
Best,
Val

Frank, I like the image on this card. What year/set is it from? Thanks Ralph

Hi, thanks Ralph,
Robert @ Prestigecollectibles is the Japanese card expert (he posted a couple times earlier in this thread), he actually just told me the Japanese Catalog number for the set above (JCM45) as I didnt know it yet, the front shows Dino Restelli and the back is Con Dempsey, its from 1949 like most of the other San Francisco Seals cards. There are many different types. Im far from an expert at these, but have owned at least 8-10 different kinds of Seals player cards from Japan, all from 1949.

I showed a couple of the Yakyu Shonen Magazine cards in the 1st thread on foreign cards, I put a couple more below


couple more example of SF PCL sets (no longer own these 2)

1949 JCM4 Roy Nicely


1949 JCM77 Dino Restelli (Robert, thanks for ID)


Yakyu Shonen (Youth Baseball) Magazine

1949 Yakyu Shonen JGA3 Bill Werle


1949 JBR13 Bill Melton

PS Robert, if you see a missed ID, please let me know, I dont read Japanese and dont have a catalog yet

@Gary- The Ruth card is from the 1934 JBR 48 series. Actually the postcard you have is mislabeled. It was part of a 40 card postcard set inserted into the August 1929 issue of Shonen Club magazine. See the image of the magazine.

@Frank - The Restelli card is from the 1949 JCM 77 Kagome set
