1930s Baseball Cards - Colors and Artwork

[jason.1969]

My 6 Diamond Stars HOFers are among my six favorite cards in my whole collection. The NYG Big Three are all beautiful, but Terry is my very favorite.

Also, my favorite era for cards. The first Goudey I saw was in the 4th grade. A classmate had a small stack. On top was '33 Charlie Gehringer staring me down. When I slid him off the top of the stack, there was Ted Lyons followed by Diamond Stars Joe Medwick. I thought I was going to bust. Hooked for life on the 1930's baseball cards. A great period for Cardinal fans.

Always loved 1930's issues, really like 1933 Geo. C. Millers.

I also love the '30's and was definitely hooked by Goudeys (in my teens) before any other, earlier T or E sets. Most of my Goudeys were picked up raw, and still live that way (sorry for crappy iphone pic)

Love DS too, especially when decorated with old, well formed sigs.

Once again not mine, just thought I would showcase a cool Diamond Stars design featuring a common player.

I only have two cards from that era. Great cards everyone. I would love to have a signed Coombs Goudey. Maybe in the future I'll track one down.

With the Diamond Stars, doesn't it seem like the 1934 cards from 1 to 24 are very undervalued? Prices run pretty much the same as the 1935 versions, yet if you look at card target or other "sold" prices, the ratio of '35 versions to '34 versions are at least 5 to 1. I looked up Maranville and the ratio was even greater, yet the prices don't reflect the rarity at all, especially in comparable condition. I wonder how popular they were when they first came out in '34? It seems like either the print run was shorter or they just didn't sell well that first year.

My raw Diamond Star set. I'd love to somehow frame the entire set like this on a wall.

Outside of my Cardinals/Browns collection, I am almost exclusively collecting 30s cards. The artwork is second to none.
