Funny japanese things

 What are these things??  A friend asked me if I wanted them at a card show, and being the packrat I have become, I said sure.  They are very beat up.  Obviously Japanese, I wasn't able to find anything on cards 1, 4 and 5 below.  But cards 2, 3 and 4 are from the 1975 JCM 59 Marushoo set.  

Card 3 is of Shigeo Nagashima and card 4 is Senichi Hoshino, both in the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame.  The others, I am not sure of who the players are.

The cards from the 1975 JCM 59 Marushoo set have playing card backs, while the other set has an anime looking guy on their backs.

And staying on the Japanese theme, a couple of posts back I showed an unopened Japanese baseball card thingy.  I asked if anyone thought I should open it or keep it unopened, but nobody chimed in.  So I decided to open it!

Above is the 'before' pic...

Here's what popped out.  The front:

and back:

After more research, I found that this is from the 1985 CalBee set.  The player is Sachio Kinugasa, who, shockingly, is also a Japanese Hall of Famer!!

Pretty great stuff, and a nice diversion.
