Question about 1929 R316 Kashin Haines

[timelord]

Frank, the cards do not seem to be that scarce as there is always a nice group available on ebay. These are the cards that do not have the Made in USA designation. Very interesting set and many of the photos were later used in the 1933 Goudey set. How cool is that?

I completed this set abut 5-6 years ago and sold it to Randy the day before he passed away, and I am currently working on another one.Great Set. Many of the photos are reputedly taken by Charles Conlan, and as someone has noted here many of the photos were reused in the 1933 Goudey set.

The set was distributed via 2 methods : Single card packs (very rare) and of course in 4 boxes of 25 cards each, with each box containing a Ruth. The 4 cards pulled from the Boxes Haines, Hadley, Seibold and Todt can be very tough to find and pop up very infrequently. The Todt is significantly easier than the other 3 , and I have seen more Seibolds than Hadley and Haines. The Made In USA or Candian variation is only slightly rarer than US version and I have never seen those cards go for a premium. Because of their oversized nature, thinner than normal card stock, high grade examples are very difficult to find. Centering can be problematic as well, particularly on Ruth.

B&L has a complete set currently in their auction which I am guessing is David's.

Thanks guys, for solving what had been a mystery for me. I'd wondered for some time why the Babe seemed to have 4X or more as many cards graded in the PSA pop report than any others.

Regards,

I figure this is a good place to ask this question even though it's an old thread. Does anyone have any information on the 5 x 7 Kashin Premiums? They seem to be the same poses as the regular Kashins but are on heavier card stock and are (of course) larger. The pictures have a better quality photo too. I have seen a few Ruths, a Gehrig (I think), Grove and maybe 1-2 others. Thanks for any thoughts or ideas.
