Asashio1957 Yamakatsu Dai Gunbai 6-7 Set
Description: This is one of the most common sets from the 1950s. Menko are easy to find and are on the market frequently. However, it is difficult to find menko in good condition because of their popularity. The quality of this set isn't very well as pictures aren't sharp and in some shots you can't even see the faces of the main Rikishi. Not a very desirable set, but a nice starter set for those just getting into collecting sumo menko.
Company: Yamakatsu Availability: Common
Card Size: 2.0" X 4.00" Card Material: Thin, Paper Stock
# of Cards: 36+ Packaging: Sheet
Key Cards: Any Yokozuna and low ranking Maegashira
Winner Stamp Description: 1,2 or 3 inside a circle. Purple ink is most common
Front Design: Most of the menko show the Rikishi in their kesho-mawashi or an action shot against a solid color background. Rikishi's shikona is vertical, but can be hard to see in some menko.
Back Design: Statistics appear vertically in the middle of the menko surrounded by a large gunbai. A Gu-Cho-Pa is in the lower left corner. A 6 or 7 digit Fighting Number is along the bottom. Menko backs are printed on either a tan or grey paper stock. This set has quite a few winner menko.
