1959 Sagari 7 Set
Description: This is a nice set from 1959. Menko from this set came in sheets that had to be cut by the children when they bought them. Most cards have residue on the backs as they were "glued" to paper and hung up in Dagashiya where the children would buy menko. There are no key cards from this set as of yet, but any Yokozuna would be a nice addition. This set is very similar to the 1956 Sagari 7 set, except the shikona on the front is much smaller and thinner than the 1956 set. Also, the back is printed in blue instead of green.
