JCM: Uncatalogued #13

There are a number of uncatalogued sets that I've found so far. This is one of them.

JCM: Uncatalogued #9

There are a number of uncatalogued sets that I've found so far. This is one of them.

JCM: Uncatalogued #6

There are a number of uncatalogued sets that I've found so far. This is one of them.

JCM 120: 1950 Red Border

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: Uncatalogued #10

There are a number of uncatalogued round menkos. This is one group that I've put together.

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.
