I have one to sell!
During the prewar era there were several "tours" where American pro ballplayers visited Japan as ambassadors of the game (and in the case of Moe Berg as American spies). The 1934 tour was the best known of them all featuring an all-star lineup of American players highlighted by Babe Ruth Lou Gehrig Jimmie Foxx and more. Presented is a postcard commemorating the game between the American and Japanese players in Tokyo. Created from a photo that was signed by each player (American players on top Japanese players on bottom) the card features the entire rosters of both teams in uniform along with each player's signature (notice Berg's signature in both languages). One can easily make out Babe Ruth right next to the unmistakeable figure of Connie Mack standing directly in the center wearing his customary suit. Graded EX-MT 6 by Beckett the card is in outstanding shape with some mild corner wear and a slight centering issue being the primary flaws.
