    Description:  Just when I thought things couldn't get any crazier I came across this obscure menko set from 1974.  Yes, it's actually a menko set from when the mid-1970s sumo boom was going on.  This is by far the newest menko set I have seen and is quite impressive.  The menko are printed on a heavy cardboard stock and are part of the Brick series.  Not much else is really known about these menko.  These are really hard to find and imagine not many of them were printed!
