Posted By: <b>CLAUDE</b><p>Leon, I know this forum is pre-war baseball but thought you might want to take a look. Picked these up raw a while ago and just sent in four for grading. I had seen black & white card sets from the '36 olympics but never color. The colors are pretty rich & clear. What do you think??<br /><br />-Claude<br /><br /><img src="http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c291/1966CUDA/PSA%20CARDS/1973-1019.jpg"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />edited to delete hitler card...didn't mean to offend anyone.<br />-Claude
