Clean Sweep Leader Novelty lot

[Vintagecatcher]

Pulled out my Copeland Catalog and here is the description:

Leader Novelty Candy Co., circa 1929, 33 different cards plus the flattened out candy box they were inserted in, full body action poses, same photos and format as R316 only smaller, tinted either red, brown, purple or green, unnumbered, blank backs, the lot includes 16 Hall of Famers including Foxx, Frisch, Klein, Hornsby, Ott, Simmons, Traynor and Waner, excellent to mint. 13/4in. by 2 5/8in. (34)

This may well be the largest grouping of these in exsitence.No documentation exists regarding a checklist or background for this set, which was previously uncataloued.

$4,000-6,000

Thanks, Patrick. They only listed half the HoFers? Wow.

Clean Sweep guys, I imagine you're kind of busy the day after your auction, but could someone fill us in on who the other two players are?

Thanks,

Bill

PS, if the winner is on here and is thinking about breaking up the group, I'd like to hear about the Judge.

Figure I will bump this thread. It seems the winner of the CleanSweep lot of Leader Novelty cards ended up selling them individually on ebay. They also sold the box which I was the under bidder on. My good friend Dan Mc.Kee out-sniped me on it. That being said I was glad to recently pick up a mint box for half the price of the ebay one. Thanks Toby!!
