1962 Gohei 6 Set

    Description:  This set is one of the newest sumo menko sets I have come across.  This set was produced right at the end of the sumo menko era and it is easy to find cards in good condition from this set.  Menko came in sheets and had to be cut apart by the children.  This set has a nice card of Taiho, the 48th Yokozuna.
