1957 Prize Sheet Set

    Description:  These aren't menko, but rather a set of prize cards kids could win if they received a winner stamp on the back of one of their menko.  The cards came with a taba bundle and then were hung up in the toy shops for kids to look at and chose cards from when they won.  I'm not sure what set these would have originally been shipped with, but they were manufactured by the "Ue" company.  These cards came in three different sizes with the biggest being the most difficult to obtain.  Click here for more information on prize sheets.
