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. This is particularly true with the set"s scarce high number series such as this card of New York Giants guard (and later assistant coach) John Isola.One of the more scarce cards in the series with very few higher-graded copies this Isola is marked by very strong left-to-right centering and a strong surface (the scratch you see on the scan is a mark on the PSA holder and not on the card). With four square corners and very little edge wear this is among the stronger examples of this card that you will find.
