Show us your 1952 StarCal Decals

[UKCardGuy]

I've recently discovered the 1952 StarCal Decal set. They align well with my love of oddball cards. https://www.sportscollectorsdaily.co...al-decals-set/

Anyone else collect these? Have any cool advertising, promo materials? Let's see em'

I have 8 Type 2s. I'm waiting 4 Type 1s to be delivered.

I have all of the Cubs including the very large six player package. I have had to replace several over the years because I stored them stacked on top of each other and they would eventually stick to each other causing small areas of paper loss when separated. I finally put each one in a clear comic book protective sleeve, hopefully that solves that problem.

Cliff, mine are in mylar sleeves. No problems so far.

This was one of the tougher pieces for me to find for my Al Rosen collection:



2019 National.

Already had this one:



Here's a fun one I am glad I bought when I did:



And it isn't a Star Cal but it is an incredibly rare decal from the era:



Gotta slip in the Brown Bomber somewhere...

Love that Campanella/Robinson and the Joe Louis. Thanks for sharing.

I have never seen this Joe before and I now want one just about more than anything for my Louis collection. If you ever wish to move it or see another please let me know!

If anything thank you for letting me know about this.

Now that I have finished complementing Adam…

I have a collection of both MLB and celebrities, all are Mylar sleeved and had no issues with the dreaded stick that these are prone to. I love Star-cal.

As to the envelopes, I do have a peeve when I see them out and tend not to bid. In my mind the envelope is a frame and makes the look. I would mentally deduct at least half the value (to me) for a missing envelope.

[Exhibitman]

Justin, everything I have is for sale or trade...at the right price

I definitely prefer the SC's in the envelopes. It is part of the charm of the item. I can understand why no # grades though: a lot of the ones in the envelopes got stuck to the envelopes over the decades and won't come out now.

That's cool, I didn't know they made 6 player packs. Did they make one per team?

I don't know, the only other ones I have seen are the Yankees and I think the Indians. Theoretically they could have done it with the Tigers, Indians, Giants, Dodgers, White Sox, Cardinals, Yankees, Cubs, and Red Sox since each of those teams had at least six players in the set. After a quick search on WorthPoint I found the Red Sox and the Cardinals so they probably did make one for each of those nine teams. ETA, found the Yankees six player pack. ETA again, found the White Sox and Giants, that leaves the Dodgers, Tigers, and Indians to be confirmed. ETA again, they measure a whopping 8.75" x 18.75".

Here's what I have in an original counter display holder.

There is also a salesman sample book that includes both large and small stickers. Back in the early 80s two became available: one with a large Ted Williams sticker and the other one had Jackie Robinson. I ended up with the Robinson but traded it a few years later for some other cards for my collection.
