Hi! I write the blog Baseball Cards Come to Life. I recently acquired a menko card in a lot. I posted it on my blog, and one of my readers suggested you might be able to identify it. Would you mind taking a look at the photo in the post? Thanks! https://borosny.blogspot.com/2024/01/fun-random-lot.html
Thanks for the shout-out! This is indeed an uncatalogued menko, but it sort of falls into the "generic baseball player" category, which is not one that would be included in the future guide. But yes, it's a 100% original, 1940s-50s menko card from Japan, which kids used to play with - there's a rock/paper/scissors icon, and a giant #, both of which can be used to win.
