Matt,
I've enjoyed following your thread and it's motivated me to start putting together a low grade raw diamond stars set. I'm 41 in and getting addicted. I too was in westchester today and picked up a bunch at very reasonable prices. I don't think I've ever said that about a westchester show.  I agree with you on the high numbers(97-108). To me they are just variations since they have the same fronts as earlier releases. 96 different fronts and I'm done. Joe

Thanks for the kind words, Jonathan and Joe. The Diamond Stars set is really cool - at least for me - in that even the commons don't "feel" common. I mean, check out the detail of the dugout on Wally Berger's card...or the "action" of Glenn Myatt's falling catcher's mask...just a great set all around...

Couldn't pass this one up...thanks for a smooth transaction Brian Van Horn...
 small pin hole in the neck, but will look nice in an SGC holder in my set. Any idea if this would earn a 10 or 20, or just an Authentic...regardless, I like it for it's relative brightness and decent centering...

Thanks to the recently completed Sterling auction...I give you Marvin Owen...see below for Wikipedia's bio of Owen if you want to know more about him...
 From Wikipedia... Marvin James Owen (March 22, 1906 – June 22, 1991) was an American third baseman in Major League Baseball. He played nine seasons in the American League with the Detroit Tigers (1931; 1933–37), Chicago White Sox (1938–39), and Boston Red Sox (1940). Owen was born in Agnew, California (now part of Santa Clara) and played high school baseball at Bellarmine College Preparatory and college baseball for the Santa Clara Broncos. After he joined the Tigers in 1931, Owen played a full season in the minor leagues before rejoining the team in 1933. The Detroit infield in the mid-1930s was one of the best-hitting combinations in MLB history. With Hank Greenberg at first, Charlie Gehringer at second, Billy Rogell at shortstop, and Owen at third, the 1934 Tigers infield collected 769 hits (214 by Gehringer, 201 by Greenberg, 179 by Owen and 175 by Rogell), 462 RBIs (139 by Greenberg, 127 by Gehringer, 100 by Rogell, and 96 by Owen), 179 doubles (63 by Greenberg, 50 by Gehringer, 34 by Owen and 32 by Rogell). Three members of the 1934 Tigers infield (Gehringer, Owen and Rogell) played in all 154 games, and the fourth (Greenberg) played in 153. Led by the hard hitting infield, the Tigers won the American League in both 1934 and 1935. In Game 7 of the 1934 World Series at Navin Field, Joe Medwick tripled in the 6th inning with the score 7–0. On the play, Owen was knocked down by a hard slide at third and both players fought. The incident and subsequent fan reaction toward Medwick forced Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis to remove Medwick from the game. Owen batted just .069 (2-29) in the Series and would again bat a lowly .050 (1-20) in the 1935 World Series, in which the Tigers defeated the Chicago Cubs in six games. He managed to set a post-season record of most consecutive plate appearances between hits (31). In 1936, Owen batted .295 with 105 RBI. He was traded to the White Sox before the 1938 season and finished his playing career with the Red Sox in 1940. During his career, he batted .275 in 1,011 games with 1,040 hits and 31 home runs. Owen was also a good fielder, leading American League third baseman in putouts in 1934 (202) and 1936 (190). No Tiger third baseman since 1934 has had as many putouts as Owen's 202 in 1934. Owen also led AL third basemen in fielding percentage in 1937 (.970) and in double plays in 1936 (28). Owen was involved in a career high 33 double plays at third base in 1934. His career high in assists was 305 in 1938 with the White Sox. Owen died at age 85 in Mountain View, California, having suffered from Alzheimer's disease.

Diamond Stars
Did you ever finish? This is such a beautiful set. I recently started my own, and have enjoyed reading this and the other past Diamond Stars threads for background.
