Lot # 752: 1933 R333 DeLong Gum Near-Complete Set (19/24)

Presented is a near-complete set of 1933 DeLong Gum composed of 19 different cards of the 24 in the set. Missing the following five cards for completion: #7 Gehrig, 8 Cuyler, 11 Lindstrom, 16, and 20. DeLongs hold a special place in the hearts of collectors. The small size of the set, its relative rarity compared to most others card sets of the era, its unique dimensions and design, and its status as a “one-year issue” all combine to make DeLongs one of the most highly regarded of all 1930s issues among serious collectors. Keys: #1 McManus (Pr-Fr), 2 Simmons (Gd), 3 (Gd+), 4 Terry (Vg), 5 Gehringer (Pr-Fr), 6 Cochrane (Pr), 9 (Vg), 10 O'Doul (Pr-Fr), 12 Traynor (Pr-Fr), 13 Maranville (Gd), 14 Gomez (Fr-Gd), 15 (Gd), 17 Martin (Gd), 18 (Fr), 19 Hafey (Vg), 21 Foxx (Pr), 22 Klein (Pr, with missing pieces), 23 Grove (Fr), and 24 Goslin (Pr-Fr). This is a very presentable group, including a total of 12 Hall of Famers, and missing only five cards for the completion of a pleasing low- to mid-grade set of these 1930s classics. Total: 19 cards.
