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).We have long been fascinated by catcher Gabby Street"s publicity stunt of catching a ball dropped off the top of the Washington Monument. What we never knew was that Ken Keltner was involved in breaking Street"s record by dropping baseballs off Cleveland"s 708-foot Terminal Tower caught by Indians catchers Frank Pytlak and Hank Helf. Aside from that the third baseman accumulated a .276 lifetime batting average in 13 seasons playing all but 13 of his 1 526 career games with the Indians. His R303-B card has been graded NM 84 by SGC for good reason; just a slight touch at the lower-right corner keeps the card from perfection.
