There are 434 cards from this set graded (i have 121 of them) with only 20 8s and 1 8.5 and NO 9s or 10s. Needless to say, most Parkhurst are nice when they are a 5, this is what came in the mail today. I received two 8s, one 7 and one 6 to improve the number one set on the registry.

    Very nice! Congrats!

    So what's the story with these again? Why are they so hard to obtain in high grade?

    I think they may have used a cement mixer to make the cards...print lines, off center, poor stock, they have everything wrong with them.

    Interesting. Sounds like 1950s Japanese menko. Ha! Thanks for the info and I look forward to seeing more scans.

    pretty much like the menko to be honest....hard to find those cards in high grade, always looking to improve the condition of my Thesz cards
