The R315 set was distributed in
1929-30 and consists of fifty-eight blank-backed subjects. Though it is unknown how the cards were issued, or which company did
the issuing, the set was dubbed "Portraits and Action" by Jefferson
Burdick in the 1930s, just years after its issue. The large cards were
issued with a variety of printing variations in four different "types," though they are not often seen.
Presented here is a
collection of
seventeen (17) ungraded cards from the R315 set.
Included:
Earl Averill (HOF - two copies of this card included), "Dazzy" Vance (HOF), Rogers Hornsby (HOF), Andrew "Andy" Reese, Laurence "Larry" Benton, "Benny" Bengough, Bill Cissell, Freddie Fitzsimmons, Johnny Frederick, Fred Leach, "Bing" Miller, Bob O'Farrell (1926 MVP), George Pipgras, Carl Reynolds, Art Shires, and Bob Shawkey.
Cards range from Poor to Very Good, though with less than 25 PSA graded examples of nearly all of these examples (and less than 10 for most of them), the scarcity of the cards in this collection far outweighs any cosmetic flaws.
17 cards total.
