Best I can tell, they also made a Set 1 and Set 2, and a Diamond Classics Original All-Stars (1933 All-Star Game) set, 4 sets in all. Something like 5,000 of each set. I have set number 3606/5000 of 1930 to 1939.
They sold for $8 a set when new in the '80s, and full boxed sets go for about $40 now. Real nice looking cards. Same size as 1951 Bowman, hand-colorized photos on the front.
A cursory look through the posts and not finding any discussion on these cards. Not really worth a lot, I get it. Anyone other than me have any of these?

IIRC Board Member Steve Mitchell created all these sets. Nice sets, no I don't own them but I bought them to break them in the 1980's during my full-time dealing days.
