W517 set issued in 1930, not 1931, and reissued in 1932

Cool starter set. I'm half tempted to give it a go myself, but I know I need to not spread myself too thin again.

And what is this game? I did a quick search, but didn't see anything from the Thirties.

I think the toughest card for me for the 60 card master set was the O'Doul Brooklyn. Here's a few of mine:

Those are great!

One thing I've wondered about the graded cards is whether there is a minimum size required to get a number grade vs "Authentic". Unless you get a complete three card strip, they are ALL hand cut. My Ruth (and many of the cards I've seen) is labeled Authentic, even though it has a complete white border around the ink border. I thought maybe it needed to have the "dotted line" to get a number grade, but that's not true either.

So I'm guessing it must have to meet a minimum size. Or they just grade them "Authentic" at random. But I'll personally take them raw, or in any grade, and any size

1931 was Bucky's third year as a Tiger, but he clings to his Washington uniform. B&W (or green?), maroon, and left-handed:

Those reverse images from the last couple postes are cool....I've never seen those before. Wet sheet transfers I assume? Add those to the list of possible variations and oddities to chase in this set.

Here is my Bucky Harris reverse image example with a nice strong reverse image.

This old REA auction description from 2016 does a good job of explaining it...give it a look:
