Lot # 939: 1936 S & S Game Card PSA MINT 9 Complete Set (52)

Presented is an ultra-high-grade complete 1936 S & S Game set, entirely graded and encapsulated MINT 9 by PSA. Includes one tan back (Higgins). This 52-card set features many stars and Hall of Famers, including Jimmy Foxx, Carl Hubbell, Mel Ott, Pie Traynor, Paul Waner, Bill Dickey, Luke Appling, Joe Cronin, Charlie Gehringer, Frankie Frisch, Joe Medwick, and many others. This set may represent the best value of all cards issued in the 1930s. Most complete sets of S & S in the hobby originate from a single source — Bruce Yeko's Wholesale Cards. Yeko was one of the hobby's first full-time vintage card dealers and, in the early 1960s, he somehow came upon a significant quantity of 1936 S & S Game card complete sets in near-perfect condition. For many years, these sets were offered in Wholesale Cards' fixed-price catalog for $19.95 per set. No one knows how many sets he originally had, but it was probably a few hundred. They were available well into the early 1970s, when Yeko finally ran out. This ultra high-grade set likely originates from Bruce Yeko's Wholesale Cards. Total: 52 cards. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot.
