Default great choice
Excellent choice! The art deco style is fantastic with great color. Loved the set so much I went back and am only 4 cards away from a master set with all the different back variations. Good luck, and I will check my dupes to see if I can help!

Default Thanks for the encouragement...
With only 106 cards to go, I am truly excited to be working on this set. Thanks for the kind words everyone...

Default Progress on my Diamond Stars set...
I've been spending a lot of time (and $) on my 1954 Topps project and I've also started trying to wrap up what little I have left of my 1959 Topps project, too. Not to be forgotten, been pecking away at my Diamond Stars project and here's what I have so far...just picked up two more which I'll post next week when they're in hand!

Default Great Job So Far!
You're doing a great job building this set in very respectable grades... once you get down past a 7, the cards turn quite reasonable in prices, even the stars and hi #s, and certain low #s as well... when you're done, epecially getting the Left Grove #1 card, you'll have an enormously pleasing and respectable set... good luck!!!

Default Welcome
Welcome to the board. This is a great place and everyone has always been helpful to me. In my opinion Carl Hubbell's best looking card is his Diamond Stars issue.

Thanks GoudeyMan...I'm focused on centering more than anything else. Bought my first PSA 5 this morning but it's nicely centered and cheap compared to the same card in a 6. They just don't make cards anything like this anymore...

You have great looking cards! Always loved the Diamond Stars set especially the Foxx card in his catching pose.

Default Diamond too
Im also trying to complete the 30s DiamondStar set, Its a great and colorful set.... been at it for about 2 yrs and now down to the last 6 cards..all high #s..they are tough.
Im putting my set together in lesser cond, I have quite a few extars avail for trade including - HOFers - Lopez,Hornsby,Jackson,Averill,Waner,etc..along with about 15 others.
Im pretty sure nobody has extra 30s DiamStar Hi#s for trade..but Im always interested in ANY - 33G,30s Batter Up, 40s Double Play,30s G heads up, 30s40s Play Ball in lower grade

Best looking set of the 30's in my opinion. Too bad it is missing some of the major stars.
