Which Greenberg card as “one and only”

[Zan]

His Diamond Star is my favorite card of his. You can find one with nice color and in low grade for about $600-$800 if you can be fortunate to not have competition.

This is the current placeholder in my HOF collection . . .

Greenberg 1938 Goudey253 PSA 4.jpg

You all have totally piqued my interest in the R312 pastel "cards" - I just posted a "WTB" in the BST section for the Greenberg - if I land one, I'll post it here (am also actively looking for the 1935 Diamond Star but, man, that one is hard to find centered and affordable!)

Thanks again-

Jeff

Would everyone consider both his 34 Goudey and Diamond Star as a “rookie”?

Old Cardboard lists those two plus his Batter-Up card and a 1934 team issue as his rookies.

His Diamond Star was produced in 1935.

Ah, never realized they were all labeled 1935. PSA didn’t either! Later PSA copies changed that.

If you want his earliest 1935 Diamond Star card, you have to get the one with his last name misspelled.

Brian (if you are this type of collector, you also have to get the National Game Grover Alexander card instead of his near identical twin in the Tom Barker Game card, both issued in 1913, because a team change in the Hal Chase cards seen in the sets dictate that the National Game set was released before the Tom Barker set)

for the price, I like the Greeenberg/Newsom 1941 Double Play.
