After finally tracking down some nice 3x5 autographs of Dizzy and Daffy, I took the cards and pen to a local art framing store and had them put together a display for me. I was impressed! They did a great job for the money. In all, it took me a little over a year to track down all the components of the set. First card I got was the Dizzy, which I bought raw from a local card shop. Went on the BST here to get the Daffy, and won the pen during the last REA auction. Scans below, enjoy!

Very cool. Now you can continue the hunt for the Rice Stix postcard that features both Dean brothers in the same pose as on their cards.

That is one sharp Dizzy, very nice white borders. Thats nice that they both grade out at 8.

Very impressive. I believe that that's Dizzy's nicest card.

Thanks for the compliments! Dennis, I'm not a cardinals fan (born and raised Yankee fan), I got into these cards after I got the Dizzy, it's got to be one of the most attractive cards of the 30's. Too bad they didn't make a full Goudey-type set using this design, it would have been a beautiful set.

Here's the postcard. Dizzy's pose is the same, but Paul looks like he's turned sideways a bit more in the postcard.

Nice postcard, I think I remember one being offered on ebay a couple years ago, but I don't know very much about it. Is the postcard specifically tied to the Rice-Stix set or is it just a general photo on which the set was based?

Looks great. Perhaps this is a topic for another thread, but has anyone else here ever created a similar display? And if so, do you have pictures to share?
