Lot # 992: Signed 1936 R312 National Chicle Premium Pie Traynor - 1 of 1 - PSA/DNA

1936 R312 National Chicle Premium featuring Hall of Famer Pie Traynor and Augie Galan, signed by Traynor on the front. PSA/DNA has encapsulated the piece and certified the signature as "Authentic." This is the ONLY signed example of this card certified by PSA/DNA. This full-color (4 x 5.375 inches) premium set is composed of twenty-five individual player portraits, fourteen multiplayer cards, and eleven in-action photos. The beautiful, rich pastel colors of R312 premiums make them one of the most striking and distinctive of all 1930s issues. Considering how substantial they are, R312 premiums have received very little attention from collectors, in part due to the fact that they are larger than standard cards, and therefore have only recently begun to be encapsulated by grading services, and the fact that they are blank-backed with no identification of the issuer. This the first signed example of this particular Traynor premium we have ever offered and we cannot recall having seen another. The premium displays a tape stain in each corner, light creases, and minor toning on the reverse. In Fair to Good condition, but it displays at a much higher level than that suggested by its technically accurate grade.
