One of the more interesting issues of the era, the Batter-Up set was a
192-card set produced by the National Chicle company. The blank-backed photographic cards were die cut, allowing young
collectors to fold the top of the card down so that it could stand up
on its own, revealing only the figure of the player portrayed on the
card. The set was issued in two series, with the high-numbered cards
measuring about a quarter-inch shorter than the first series. The cards
were also issued in black and white or a variety of color tints, and the
set is loaded with Hall of Famers. Due to the die cuts and the way the
cards were meant to be used, they are difficult to find in high grade.
Presented here is a
collection of seven (7) ungraded high number cards from the 1934-36 Batter-Up set.

#112 Odell Hale, #137 Stan Hack, #99 Ray Benge, #104 Mickey Haslin, #107 Edward A. Brandt, #89 Tom Carey, and #102 "Pep" Young
