One of a magnificent collection of 1939 Diamond Stars premiums being offered individually or collectively as a complete set (#2 on the SGC Registry). In exceptional condition these oversized premiums were produced from photographs using a photo-lithograph process each a beautiful representation of both action and portrait shots of baseball heroes of the day. Each of the card versos feature illustrated diagrams to help youngsters improve their baseball fundamentals.The rarity of these cards in high grade cannot be properly described as the oversized photos were printed on flimsy thin paper. The cards are generally susceptible to general corner and edge wear along with folds pinholes and tape marks from Depression-era youngsters displaying the cards on their walls. This is one card in a magnificent collection of 1939 Diamond Stars Premiums one of the highest-grade collections of these cards that you will ever encounter. Whether the group sells as a complete set or as individual cards is up to the highest bidder(s).The final card in the set that of young Tigers first baseman Rudy York has been graded EX/NM 80 by SGC. A hard-hitting (but poor fielding) slugger York hit 88 home runs in his first three seasons with the Tigers on his way to a career total of 277 over 13 years with the Tigers Red Sox White Sox and Athletics. A slight tilt along with softer corners (but still very sharp) this remains at the upper echelon of graded Rudy Yorks from the R303 set a stellar card from one of the most attractive R303 sets ever assembled.
