Show your 1933-34 R313B Wheaties (updated with Scan)

[fkw]

Hi, I know they are extremely tough (understatement) and many dont know what they are, but if you have any of the R313B Wheaties cards from 1933-34, can you post scans of some. (article in issue #6 Winter 2006 OLD CARDBOARD)

*Not to be confused with the related 1934 R313A Gold Medal Foods (Flour) World Series set.

PS. whats the book values in the 2011 SCD on this set now? Is it still $45 for a common in NRMT. Last years a common sold for $220 in VG and Klein sold for $300 in VG (12X more than book), thats the only 2 sales I have notes on.

I believe I just picked one up for very cheap....

Update, scans of the Hudlin card. I believe it to be one of the R314-2 Goudey Premiums and not the rarer R313B

The font and type of Pen on the R314-2 and R314-3 cards is usually much bolder and that what fooled me.

Oh well still a tough card, but not what I was hoping for.

In the 2011 SCD, they are all listed for $45 in Nr-Mt condition, with the exception of the following:

Earl Averill $275
Odell Hale $180
Chuck Klein $80
Red Faber $80
Al Simmons $80

There are a total of 19 cards listed in this set.

Yes Brad's info is the same set, but the values listed in the SCD are off.

The card I picked up I believe is from the set, as it is not the same pose as the common R313, and the Hudlin is not found in any other set I know of with the same type of design (ie. R313A).

Here is the auction, the card in question is the Hudlin on right. The Vosmik is a R314-3. Hudlin is not a part of the 19 card checklist Brad mentioned.

i picked up a Holland from the 33 wheaties just this week---
from Mike Peich on bst.
a great card and quite unusual series methinks.
all the best,

Hi Barry, I believe the Holland is in the minor league Minneapolis Millers Wheaties set, like Mikes pictured above.
The set Im referring to has no advertising, it is mostly a Major League set with players known from Clev, StL AL, StL NL, Chi AL, Chi NL, and 4 players know from Des Moines of the Western League. The checklist is at 19 known not including this Hudlin (if it is one... which I think it is).

To most collectors the cards look very similar to the far more common R313 "Fine Pen", or a R313A Gold Medal Foods (Wheaties) World Series (StL/Detroit) "Medium Pen" cards, and are often found mixed in with them.

I know Tim N. has a few of these.
Im sure someone here also picked up the Chuck Klein and Roy Hudson on eBay back in Aug 2010. They are the only 2 Ive seen on eBay correctly identified and they sold for good $$ ($220/$300) in VG


I'll post scans when it shows.

[ethicsprof]

many thanks for the clarification.
mine is like Mike's.
i'm eager to see your scans. I'm glad you got quite the good deal on these
rarities.

best,
barry

They are identical in size to and have the same style handwriting as the ''standard 12'' from the world series teams --- I've seen a Megachecklist somewhere that has the Des Moines players listed as part of this set and subset ..... If Tim is still able to fog a mirror he'll chime in on this before midnight Sunday. I'll try posting some more scans later .

Exactly Mike, those are them , and WOW super nice condition!

I just wanted to see scans of a few so I can compere them with the Hudlin when it shows.

Thanks for posting.

PSA should have put "Foods" instead of "Flour", ..........they are sure living in the past

Gold Medal Foods = Wheaties

Super nice cards Mike - If you don't mind me asking, where did you get them?
