Weighing in at just 36 players the 1935 National Chicle football set is quite possibly the most important football set ever manufactured. With first-year cards of virtually every key subject in the set as well as the hobby"s most valuable and treasured card - the legendary #34 Bronko Nagurksi (also featured in this auction) the set continues to grow in popularity attracting both ardent football collectors and collectors of other sports dabbling in football for the first time.Featuring colorful art deco designs that were typical of the time the National Chicle football card artwork is similar to the other National Chicle cards of the day - the 1934-36 "Diamond Stars" baseball cards and also the 1933 "Sky Birds" cards. Despite being printed on heavy stock high-grade examples are difficult to find.As is the case with many card issues the first and last cards in the National Chicle set are more difficult to obtain in high grade and thus are condition scarcities. This one of kicker Dutch Clark is graded EX/MT + 6.5 by PSA and is a stunning example - well-centered with strong corners and edges. There"s a slight bit of surface toning but that is consistent with this issue and does not detract from the grade. While the Clark card from this set boasts one of the highest graded populations it is still very difficult to obtain and in a PSA 6.5 is a special addition to any National Chicle set.Population DataPSA Population: 188 total graded 1 at this level 42 higherSGC Population: 32 total graded 0 at this level 5 higher
