JCM 57c: 1960 Maruya Green Pitching Grip Back is another in a number of varieties featuring a cool pitching grip/advice backside. There are at least 33 cards in this set, and I've included some that seem to be uncatalogued as of yet.

JCM 107: 1948 Scoreboard and Player Uniform with Number Back

JCM 107: 1948 Scoreboard and Player Uniform with Number Back features 8 cards, 1 11/16" x 2 5/8". One of a number different menko series that feature a scorecard, this one should have a small cartoon of a player, and a scorecard at the top. However, my cards do not have this. They instead feature the back of JCM 182. Either this is a printing error (doubtful), a new uncatalogued series (possibly?) or JCM 107 has a couple of options for the backs of the cards (in which case, it probably needs a new name for the series).

JRM 60: 1948 Numbers on Tiles

JRM 24: 1947 Math Equation in Circle

JRM 24: 1947 Math Equation in Circle has at least 26 cards that are 1 7/8" in diameter. This time, the math problem is in a small circle. I especially like Kawasaki's card with the goose. I'd assume this was a prize for being the best at something, and it would eventually end up as dinner. There are a few generic baseball cards in this set, and I've included another uncatalogued one here.

JDM: Uncatalogued #11

There seem to be a lot of diecut menkos that are not in the catalogue. I've tried to group mine based on similar backs. Many seem to feature high school or university teams, but some feature pro players.
