Lot # 993: 1936 R311 Leather Finish Premiums SGC-Graded Complete Set (15)

Extremely attractive and rarely offered complete set of fifteen R311 Leather Finish Premiums issued by the National Chicle Co. Each premium measures 6 x 8 inches and has a distinctive "leather-like" surface, as described in the Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards, featuring black-and-white photos of individual players (eleven premiums), multiple players (two premiums), or pennant-winning teams (two premiums). All fifteen premiums have been professionally graded and encapsulated by SGC. SGC Grading Composite: NM 84 (1 card): Foxx. EX/NM 80 (1 card): Mack. EX 60 (1 card): Derringer. VG/EX 50 (3 cards): Gehringer, Mungo, and Crosetti/Lazzeri/DiMaggio. VG 40 (8 cards): Cubs Team, Ferrell, Harder, Hartnett, Hornsby, O'Neil, Ruffing, and Vaughn/Wagner. GOOD 30 (1 card): Tigers Team. Complete sets of R311 Leather Finish Premiums are seen with far less frequency than most other premium issues of the 1930s, and this is a particularly attractive offering, loaded with ten Hall of Famers, including Joe DiMaggio, Jimmie Foxx, Rogers Hornsby, Connie Mack, and Honus Wagner. Total: 15 premiums. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
