This is my quarterly bump to ask (OK, beg) for 1932 NY Giants Schedule cards.

For anyone unfamiliar with this set, it was a team issued, mail in promotion. For years it was uncataloged and several people had told me my collection was "complete" at the 18 I had. They were wrong.

REA had a partial set in 2005 (I know... I missed it. Remember, I thought my set was "complete.") The REA lot included 4 I do not have (Ethan Allen, Herman Bell, Fran Healey, and Sam Leslie). But I have 4 not in the REA lot (Fitzsimmons, O'Farrell, Ott, and Terry.)

Almost everyone is familiar with one card from this set, Hubbell. He was their most popular player and the Giants, apparently, printed extras of his card or more likely went back to a second printing. The ones you see all the time are this "second printing." There are two ways to differentiate. 1) The full set was printed on thick cardboard stock. The common Hubbell is on very thin stock. 2)The reverse side is printed upside down on the common Hubbell, when compared to the full set.

If anyone ever sees any of these, please alert me right away, or pick them up and we'll deal. I'm primarily interested in the four I'm missing, but not opposed to buying others that are dupes in hope of finding a trading partner someday.

Thanks for you time. I'll be back begging again in 3-4 months.
