Complete, three-card set produced in conjunction with a 1961 exhibition between the Taiyo Whales of the Japan Central League and the Hawaii Islanders, a team for which Union Oil issued a 10-card set that season. The three-card set includes two individual player cards plus one larger team photo card and three sepia toned cards that contain biographical information and ads for Union Oil and the Japanese and US-based radio stations covering the exhibition. The team card includes some historical information on the Taiyo Whales. The cards all present well but have been graded technically lower by SGC. The collection includes 1) Akihito Kondo (SGC VG 3), square but chipped corners, some light soiling on the reverse, but conservatively graded. 2) Gentaro Shimada (SGC VG/EX 4), clean, midgrade card with a bit of corner wear. 3) Taiyo Whales Team (SGC GOOD 2): corner wear at all four corners but most pronounced at the top left, some light soiling on the reverse. Three cards total.
