great player selection from an avant-garde, art deco set. Did the designers have something against the color green?

Very nice cards. I love that set, just wish it had a Gehrig.

If the Cochrane has a green back with 1933 stats, then it is the hardest of the 3 Cochrane variations in the set, Dan.

Very neat art deco series.....this Grove was one of the first cards I ever acquired when I got into pre-war....

Edited to add that the information on the back of the Grove card is extremely important for any of our younger collectors out there. I ruined my arm pitching about 80% curves in little league. I used to have to put BenGay on it after every inning I pitched BEFORE I was even 15 yrs old.....

Leon,
How can you attach pics that are smaller than the ones I posted? Yours are perfect and mine are huge.

I opened the scan with the "paint" program and resized it...then uploaded it here. At first my scan was probably larger than yours. It took a couple minutes to do....

your card resized...took me under 2 minutes....
