DeLong was one of several Boston based confectioners that issued small sets at the end of Prohibition. The format of the card - with a photograph of the player superimposed onto an illustration of a baseball stadium, making the subject look like a giant - is very unique and fun. DeLong managed to put out a classic set for their lone effort, with 14 of the 24 subjects included in this 1933 issue eventually ending up in the Hall of Fame - an envious batting average by any measure.

Pie Traynor is one of those 14 Hall of Famers, and is the subject of this example with centering just slightly south on the canvas. Nice corners and edges and brilliant colors give this one tremendous eye appeal. Some very faint surface abrasions keep this one from grading even higher than it already has.

PSA has only ever graded 170 total examples of this 1933 DeLong, with only fifty receiving a higher grade than the EX 5 offered here of Hall of Famer Pie Traynor.
