1960 Dai Gunbai 6 Set

    Description:  These menko are fairly hard to find on the market today.  One nice feature of this set is that the Emperor's Cup and Special Prize are included.  This set has almost identical backs to the 1958 Dai Gunbai 6 Set except for the backs are printed in blue-grey instead of brown.

   Winner Stamp Description: Unknown

   Front Design:  Most of the cards show the Rikishi in various poses on solid colored backgrounds or on the dohyo with spectators behind them.  Shikona is vertical in block print.

   Back Design:  A large gunbai is divided into two columns with the rikishi's shikona on the right half and the stable and birthplace in the left half.  A Gu-Choki-Pa is in upper right with a 6 digit fighting number at the bottom.  Menko in this set are printed in blue-grey.  There seems to be two versions in the shape of the gunbai along the bottom , but I believe they all belong to the same set.
