Thanks! For once in my life in this hobby, I think this is a find! I can't see removing these Sportstamps from the scrapbook and ruining it. Somebody took a lot of time and effort to carefully put it together. Imagine how I almost went into shock over seeing Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Jimmie Foxx, Carl Hubbell, Charlie Gehringer, Dizzy Dean, and so many others. I have a full set of All-Star Sportstamps for 1936, I think. Wow!

Congrats James! That is a find for sure. Every once in a while a person deserves to get lucky.
Your scrapbook looks very comparable to the one I obtained. It must have been the way to put scrap books together in 1936. I removed several of mine because I wanted to get the graded. They were pasted on the pages with a salt-like feeling substance and came off rather easily. I just had to massage them gently and they came loose. It also had every All Star in the book. In un-cut panels no less. I kind of wish I would have left it alone, but the Ruth and DiMaggio etc. sure look great in SGC holders! Read the articles - they are fantastic also. Congrats! Jim |

But Wait! There's More...
Going through all the loose clippings in this scrapbook, about half the book is glued in, there's a huge amount of loose clippings. It's all very neatly trimmed, just never put in. Among all those clippings, 18 more loose Sportstamps...another Hubbell and Lazzeri, Charlie Ruffing, Lefty Gomez, Frankie Crosetti and a bunch of other Yankees and Giants. That brings it up to 78 Sportstamps, total.

No sir, out of 78 Sportstamps, no Hank Greenberg.

As you all know, graded cards are not my thing. However, I reached out to SGC about this scrapbook as they are just "across the Alley", Alligator Alley, in Boca Raton. Pretty much what I expected to hear. Tyler said don't destroy the scrapbook trying to get Gehrig and DiMaggio out. Just leave it as is, and, if ever sold, sell it to someone knowledgeable of Sportstamps, and not in some generic eBay auction. The loose Yankees and Giants, however, would get a numerical grade if submitted, and they could be hand delivered, in person to SGC.
