UNC JCM Raised surface stamp cards

These are some type of toy/game card, that were released a few different times. It's plain blank-backed cardboard, card-sized, featuring the image in a raised material on the card. It's almost like these were meant to be used like a stamp (add ink and press down), but the image is not reversed.

Oshita / Shimizu - added 7/6/26
Tsubouchi / Betto - added 7/6/26
Kawakami / ? Hawks - added 7/6/26


Haki - added 7/6/26

UNC JCM Dramatic Back

Nishizawa - added 7/6/26
Rentaro - added 7/6/26


But these next ones also have a menko number on the back side, otherwise they seem to match:

Betto - added 7/6/26
Sanada - added 7/6/26

UNC - Hexagon back

Ooka - added 6/5/26
Doigaki - added 7/6/26

JRM UNC Big Six 3.5"

This set looks to use the images from JRM44, but are more detailed and includes the school logo?

Kunio Ando (Meiji) - added 7/5/26
Tokichiro Ishii (Waseda) - added 7/5/26
Junzo Sekine (Hosei) - added 7/5/26
Shoji Hirakoba (Keio) - added 7/5/26

JRM 1e: 1947 Green/Red Background - blue border variant

These are the same size as JRM1e (2 3/4"), but feature a blue border around them (and Nishizawa has a thin yellow horizon line as well)

JRM 1h: 1949 Red/Green Background - Yellow Stripe variants

JRM 1h is the only set with a yellow stripe, but here are some others (which don't include the JRM1h requirement of listing the player's school)
Nishizawa (large has a blue border, 2.75" / small is 2.25") - added 7/5/26
Kawakami (2 11/16") - added 7/5/26

JRM 8: 1949 Green and Red Stripes - 3.5"

New size, 3.5" in diameter

JBR 164b: 1947 Marusaka Sepia Type 2

Sakazawa (on right) - added 6/22/25
Victor Starffin - added 6/14/26
I think these were originally thought to be more detailed versions of JBR 163: 1946 & 1947 B&W Street Clothes, but the glove image and the "small heart at the edge of the Marusaka logo connecting it to a second logo containing the letters SBP" seem to fit more precisely with JBR 164b.

UNC Stamp Cards w/ raised drawings

Odd set of cards that almost seem like they are meant to be used as stamps - all of the illustrations are raised above the card, almost in a thick felt-like material. Clearly not meant to actually be a stamp (since the images aren't backwards) though.

Aota - added 6/13/26B
Betto - added 6/13/26
