JCM 28a: 1957 Marukami Blue Ink, Color, 12 Pointed Star

Here's some uncatalogued ones I found on ebay:
Yasushi Kodama

JCM 27: 1957 Yamakatsu Color Borderless Grey Ink Backs

JCM 27: 1957 Yamakatsu Color Borderless is one of the first tobacco-style JCM card sets out there. There are over 69 cards, measuring 1 13/16"x3". The backs have side "arrow" designs, and a unique (though duplicated) menko number at the bottom. Below I've listed an uncatalogued card that I spotted on ebay.
Kazuhiro Yamauchi

JCM 53: 1956 Yamakatsu Borderless B&W

The two that I have, though, are uncatalogued as of yet. I'm also including below other uncatalogued ones I've found for sale on ebay.

JCM 58a?: Uncatalogued

This set isn’t in the current guide, but I’ve seen some people refer to it as “JCM 58a”. The front of the cards match the "JCM 16: Viking Set", and the back match the quiz back from “JCM 58 Flag Front”.
