1956 Kagome Caricature Trump 7-8 Set
Description: These menko came in sheets of 40 menko and children had to cut the menko apart themselves. Most menko on the market are in very good condition with nice, sharp corners and straight edges. These menko have good coloring and are on nice, heavy paper stock. This is a somewhat unusual set in the fact that all the rikishi's photos are drawn in caricature form. A second version exists where the menko have a bright white gloss finish. Not sure if these are special menko or not.
