Lot # 796: 1934-1936 R327 Diamond Stars Complete Set (108)

Presented is a very attractive medium-grade complete set of R327 Diamond Stars. This classic 1930s gum-card issue is highlighted by 33 Hall of Famers and includes all 12 of the rare high-number series cards (#97 thru 108), which have always made this issue so difficult to complete. Condition is 45% Vg-Ex to Ex (approximately two-thirds Vg-Ex), 46% Gd to Vg, and 9% lesser (including two with a slight trim and a couple that measure small). We have selected six cards to be graded and encapsulated by PSA. Keys: #1 Grove (VG 3), 2 Simmons (Vg), 3 Maranville (Vg+), 9 Cochrane (Vg+), 11 Dickey (Vg), 14 Terry (Vg), 16 L.
