R-Cards (1930s & 1940s Gum & Candy) For Sale
$3,350 This popular and widely collected series was issued in 1936 as in-store premiums to promote Goudey Gum products. The set has since been assigned the ACC number R314. Notably, the set contains a Rookie Card for Hall of Famer Joe DiMaggio, along with cards featuring more than two dozen additional HOFers. Further, the only variation card in the set (that of HOFer Lloyd Waner without the "Litho in U.S.A." tag at the bottom) is included. The 6 cards needed to complete the set are all of "common" players and should be relatively easy (and inexpensive) to acquire. The players featured in the missing cards are: Blaeholder, Cavarretta, Finney, Frey, Galan and Rogell. The DiMaggio/McCarthy card has a very small pin hole at the top middle that detracts very little from the overall appeal (see high-res front and back scans). The card of HOFer Hank Greenberg has been graded SGC 3 (VG). Most other cards in the set should grade VG or better on average with a few lower and a few higher. All cards are completely intact (i.e., no missing chips, corners, etc.).
Note: A Set Profile, Checklist and Gallery of Cards for the R314 set is provided on the Old Cardboard website.
$790 The 1933 Goudey Sport Kings set is an attractively designed 48-card series contains only three baseball players--Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb and Carl Hubbell. Numerous other leading atheletes representing a total of eighteen different sports are also found in the set. The set is considered to be the pre-eminant multi-sport "Champions" issue of the period. Common to all card fronts is a white border with a red "Sport Kings Gum" banner at the top. A "waist-up" color image of the subject is displayed over a solid colored background. The subject's name is printed in white over a black panel across the bottom. Silouetted action images depicting the subject's sport add an unusual and interesting style to the card design.
The Carl Hubbard card offered here has several slight wrinkles (click on images to enlarge). Otherwise, the card has sharp corners and would grade EX+. Further details about this popular set are provided on the Old Cardboard website.
plus Coupon & Gum in Original Wrapper $6,850 This very scarce 1933 R317 Uncle Jacks Candy Color Type Set encompasses examples of all five color tints that were used in printing the card fronts. The colors are red, purple, blue, green and sepia. Further, all five cards are graded by SGC and four of the five players featured on the cards (Leo "Gabby" Hartnett: SGC 3; Bill Terry (SGC 2), Frank Frisch: SGC3 and Al Simmons: SGC 1) are now in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Only Wes Ferrell (SGC 2), who played in two all-star games and the 1938 World Series, has not been elected into the BB-HOF. The blank backs are generally very clean except for some paper loss/gain from previous mounting on the back of the Simmons card and a small "1" (about 1/8-inch long) marked in the top left corner of the Hartnett example. No other marks, stains, creases or tears.
