1936 Pet Cremer Japanese Baseball JIRO KUJI #112 PSA 4

Description: This is a beautiful card (it looks much better than a PSA 4) and a unique piece of sports history at an affordable price. The 1936 Pet Cremer set was one of several German issues that covered the 1936 Olympics held in Berlin. As was the case with others, it was a multi-sport set that covered games from the Olympics. Because the event was held in Germany, the sets have a decided German focus on that country’s teams and athletes. This is the only baseball card that was in the set. It features Japanese players who scheduled to play a demonstration game against the United States. The sport was not a fully recognized one at the games but Japan was to play against the Americans in an exhibition. However, they ended up not appearing. Japan did help bring the sport to Germany, however, showing up in the country prior to the Olympics. Though not known for sure, it is believed that the catcher depicted in this card is Japanese Hall of Famer Jiro Kuji. The back of this card advertises Pet Cremer products such as detergent and bleach soda. Card will be placed in a cardboard wrap and shipped in a bubble padded envelope. When making payment please reference card M37. Thank you.
