Large group of midgrade cards from the popular 1939 R334 Playball issue representing nearly 38% of the set. Several Hall of Famers are included in the group largely an attractive and presentable collection. Thirty-eight of the cards have been graded all but three by PSA. A breakdown of the graded cards is as follows: PSA EX-MT 6 (1 card): #64; PSA EX 5 (3 cards): #21 32 46; PSA VG-EX+ 4.5 (1 card): #43; SGC VG/EX 50 (1 card): #48 Lefty Gomez (HOF); PSA VG-EX 4 (30 cards): #2 4 13 15 20 22 23 24 34 35 49 52 Henrich 59 60 61 62 63 66 68 69 71 73 75 76 78 104 106 110 114 143 Averill (HOF); SGC VG 40 (1 card): #89 L. Waner (HOF); SGC FAIR 20 (1 card): #50 Gehringer (HOF). The collection includes an additional 23 ungraded cards: #8 9 10 11 31 42 52 Henrich 54 57 65 72 79 87 90 93 97 99 100 105 108 109 111 Mungo 115. As is the case with the graded cards the ungraded cards average VG/EX in condition with a few better and some lesser. The 1939 Playball set is a beautiful simplistically-designed set with clean photography of 161 players from the end of the live ball era. This collection is an excellent start on a complete midgrade set all assembled by a dedicated collector with a keen sense of eye appeal. 61 cards total.
