1939 Piero 5 Set

    Description:  This is a subset of a larger cartoon set. The other cartoons are mainly animals and kids.  Not sure the meaning of them all.  So far, there are only two sheet combinations as shown above for a total of three different sumo menko.  Although not too rare, this set lacks much appeal for the sumo menko collector so they can be fairly easy to find on the market today.
