Thanks, Brian and wow, Leon, that's a nice poster! I haven't seen this set--do you know what size these cards are? Does anyone have the complete set? Thanks, Doug

I think there might be a few complete sets out there. I do think Bridges is in the set but haven't double checked to be sure. The cards are about 3 x 5....and the envelope they were sent in....

If anyone can confirm/deny Bridge's inclusion in this set I would be obliged. Although Leon's poster features him, I have yet to see an example or find him listed on a checklist.

As the poster indicates there are 23 in the set. I have 20 of the 23. This set has been listed in catalogs as "1934 Detroit tigers Team Issue" , but the poster has ( Newton Annis Furs).

Enclosed is the Tommy Bridges card from that set.

Lots of cool Detroit Tigers stuff from the 1930s in this thread! Here's a card of the 1929 Tiger team I picked up awhile ago, I don't know anything about it but I like it.

1933-36 is a gold mine for vintage Tigers' material. There are a ton of regional sets, premiums, pins, etc. Even national releases seem to be Detroit heavy during this span. Lots of great characters too: Schoolboy, Greenberg, Mickey C. It's a shame that squad doesn't carry the reverence or mystique that the Gashouse Gang, 50's Giants, or Brooklyn Bums reserve. You could argue that the mid-30's are the high water mark of the franchise. Of course, I'm biased.
