Group of three attractive unused postcards commemorating one of the country's earliest tours of Japan by a United States university. The collection includes two in-game action postcards along with one team photo including members of both the Wisconsin Badgers team and the Keio University team which includes Japanese Hall of Famer Zensuke Shimada. The three postcards are unused postally each in apparent EX to EX/MT condition. The technical grades are reduced however by erased pencil writing (in Japanese) and some light discoloration on the reverse. Still three extremely interesting and attractive postcards documenting games of historical significance.
