1936 sports stamps

[gonefishin]

Thanks to all for comments, background and opinions. I have GREAT news. I received all 4 back from SGC today. All graded, and they received number grades! I have attached pictures of all 4. Let's do a quick comparison.

I sent the stamps to PSA for regular processing ($50 per), they received them on June 14 (logged in), they were shipped back on July 26 as not graded (I wasn't charged).

I subsequently sent the stamps to SGC for regular processing ($30 per), they received them on Aug 1, graded and shipped them on Aug 3, and I received them today, Aug 5.

Wow - what a difference.

Regardless, I now have a reputable source to send my Sport Stamps to for grading. An absolutely amazing process and turn-a-round for SGC.

Any more thoughts?

They look great!

Bit of a long shot, but if anyone has a Beau Bell please let me know. I'll pay well for most any example.

Sorry, I have several but not this one. If he was an All-Star I would have it as I have them all, or if he was playing for the Cubs instead of the Browns I would probably have it.

Good Luck. Jim

Congrats on your SGC grades! These look fantastic graded together. Nice to know there is a place to go for grading sports stamps.

Whoop! Shame on me; hadn't looked at my pic in a while; it's a "Dimag" Restaurant Matchbook (not Diamond); so, it stays. The sport stamp image will work in the space with the COA copy; enhances the overall look of the piece.
I like to show it off when I set up at shows.

Thanks fellas!

Though it is not from one of the listed 1930's matchbook sets, that Dimaggio Restaurant matchbook is in fact made by the Diamond Match Co., so technically it is a Diamond matchbook.

Thank you Bob; that saves me the struggle of digging the piece outta my RV to look closer. It was bugging me (Well then, who did make it?).

It is funny you mention that, because after reading your post I went and double checked my copy of that same matchbook. It is made by the same Diamond Match Co., just not part of any set. Nice item, and there are actually other different DiMaggio Restaurant matchbooks out there. His brother, Dom, also has at least one matchbook for his restaurant that was also in San Francisco. And all of them appear to have been made by the Diamond Match Co., which was out of the San Francisco/Chico, California area. So, no surprise the DiMaggios used them to make their matchbooks to advertise their restaurants since they were local.

I have a long ways to go to get to where my 1st collection was. I need one from each distributing newspaper, of course.
Got this from Kit Young (hi Kit, if you are reading)

Just picked up this Los Angeles Examiner Foxx. Another distributor checked off..

Nice to see the 1936 Sport Stamps (biased comment) getting a little love in REA ...even with a bit more common newspaper origins for the series. Nice looking ones, for sure. Congrats to the winner(s)....btw, these weren't my consignments.

I hate to dredge up an old thread, but...I just bought an old scrapbook, from the year 1936, that according to what I can see from afar, has at least several Los Angeles Examiner baseball Sports Stamps, both loose and fixed. She be arriving this week. At the very least it appears to have "Goose" Goslin, Carl Hubbell, Gabby Hartnett, and Tony Lazzeri. There are others I can't identify, one is perhaps Jimmie Foxx.

The Sport Stamp thread never gets old!

Great pick up! Let us know what treasures are in there when you get it.

On a similar note, I recently picked up a 1934 Boston American scraps with Babe Ruth no 1 and Rabbit Maranville no 2 attached
Can the group provide any info on this type ?
Thanks
