FYI, generally these requests should go in the BST areas. Thanks

... and just for fun , send in for grading a '31 Met which has been altered by some kid with a few crayons ; the kid was really good because you'd never know the colors were added......look at the shoes , even...... I think some collectors consider this to be his rookie card ?

Love the Metropolitan Studio set. Many great portraits. This is my only signed one.

Nice card Dave. I had a question about a NY Giants item if you could drop me a line.

I bought a set from Lew Lipset mainly for the cool poses and this picture of Branch Rickey.

Does anyone have the envelope that these cards came in with a 1931 postmark on it???? I have a worn envelope somewhere, I recall no postmark. For several years I've thought maybe these should be considered with a 1932 issue date; I think the set may have been produced after the Cards won the 1931 World Series, and if that wasn't in late 1931 then it would have been early 1932, and fans could have bought the envelope full of the pictures at the ball park, or at a newsstand. I think Metropolitan Studios issued similar sized pictures of movie stars, and I'm guessing they'd be sold at newsstands. An envelope with a 1931 postmark would lock these in as a 1931 issue.

These are 1931 players / World Champions, no argument there.
