Wonder if the 'Made in USA' example in the ad above is the Canadian, as the Canadian R316's.

You should email Tim Newcomb. He is the expert on these issues. As the previous post indicates, there are actually several sets that all go by the name R314.

The basic set is fairly common and includes a white border with the legend "Litho in USA" in the border. The second set comes in both a white border variety and a borderless variety. Neither of these varieties include the "Litho in USA" designation. The second set includes different players and different poses than the first set. The third set has a "creamy" tone and I believe was issued in Canada. Again, the players and poses are different. The fourth set is confusing and you should ask Tim about it. It features mostly Tigers and I believe Canadian minor leaguers.

If you're thinking of completing a set, you should stick to the first variety. You could spend more than a lifetime trying to complete any of the others.

Nope, that article is correct. The Kashins labels are opposite.

Like Paul said, Tim Newcomb is the expert on all these postcard size 1930 premiums. He wrote a great 7 page article on them in the "Old Cardboard" issue #7 (spring 2006).

The 5- R314 sets vary quite a lot in availability. For example, In the last year Ive only seen 3 auctions that contained a R314D card (and one was misidentified as a R314A). Making them easily the scarcest as far as availability on eBay, by far.

Ive really only been looking into them seriously in the last year or so, but I have gotten a good picture of how rare some are.

Here is a post reproduced below I posted a short time back.....


There are 5 sets in the R314, with 3 fairly small.

R314A has 120 different cards in set, have "Litho USA" on bottom corner, very common.

R314B-1 has 24 in the set, they are borderless, and a smaller thick cursive name, scarce.

R314B-2 24 in set, same as above but has a border, scarce.

R314C "Canadian Creamy" 25 in the set, has a yellowish creamy tone card stock with a light gloss, slightly scarce.

R314D (V352) 47 in the set, slightly yellowish, no gloss, (8 Detroit players, rest are International Leaguers from Montreal and Toronto), very rare.


R314A, R314B-1, R314C, R314D
