Kyle, for those 1932 Reemtsma ones, which version are the cards? Are they truly the 1932 issue? Or are they the 1936 re-issue? You can easily tell by looking at the back. The 1932 ones are harder to find than the 1936 re-issue, but PSA has almost always mislabeled the 1936's as mech errors, mistakenly assigning them 1932 data specs. I've been trying to get this issue resolved for several years, but it hasn't seemed to work yet.

I think they stopped labeling cards as 1932 Sammelwerk Nr. 6 and only label as 1932 Reemtsma (which is a correct decision), but I've noticed that ones in the pop report that have that label are more often actual 1932 Reemtsma cards, where as the ones labeled as 1932 Reemtsma are more often the 1936 re-issue set.

I'm pretty sure these were the real 1932s I got from a seller in Germany IIRC; I'll confirm once I've got them back in hand. I've subbed some of each under both names to test and PSA has labeled them as listed on the sub form, so I don't think there's any assumptions to be made by which set it's labeled under on the pop. I've brought it up to them also on the 1932 vs. 1936 reissue, but it's probably too late at this point to expect it to ever be accurately reflected in the pop.

I wish they'd include both the Reemtsma and Sammelwerk No. 6 on the flip/pop, each with the correct year. Even though it's correct, I don't think it says Reemtsma anywhere on the cards, just the outer packets they were distributed in.

Agreed. I think our best bet is for you and me to keep sending the graded ones back to them for mech label correction. It will never fix the inaccuracy of the pop report, but at least it might get them to start labeling them correctly going forward.

Figured this thread deserved to get a bit more academic when it comes to the Olympia 1932 card set. There are actually 3 versions. Two were issued in 1932, and then the set was reissued in 1936. 2 of them include the Gruppe 20 notation on the back, among the other differences in text, but one of the 1932 versions only specifies Album Number and Card Number but omits Gruppe Number. For a visual comparison, I have scanned 3 different versions of the "same" card from my collection. Each is labeled the same by PSA, but they should instead have 3 different specs assigned and need to be corrected.

LarkinCollector

I should have mine back in hand on Thursday to verify, but if it's the batch I'm thinking of, they were of the middle style. I seem to recall having some of the first style in the past also. The 36s seem to be far more prevalent, any idea which of the 32s is tougher?

miwlvrn

Like you do, I also have a good amount of Olympia 1932 cards. The 1936 reissue seems to be the most common. The ones that say Sammelwerk and include Gruppe 20 are in second place. The 1932 ones that do not have Gruppe 20 on the back (the first version in my posted examples above) are a lot harder to have acquired, by my perspective; I have far fewer of them with that version on the back.

LarkinCollector

I was mistaken, these were all of the first style you posted w/no Gruppe ...

The middle style must have already been graded in another batch.

LarkinCollector

Pics of some of the others.

The nicer of the 37 Pep ...

I was surprised to see this one return in a Supersize holder, measured so it should have fit in a tallboy ...

I think this is now the smallest item I have in a Supersize holder. Grade is due to some creasing around the two left holes.

Die cut 8 ...

The last card ...

Couple Larkin Pop 1s total and new slot requests for the Master set ...

3.37% chance of getting a 9 or higher on these (including base and gold foil), the oversize black borders are brutal ...

I had a good conversation recently with Kyle about the differences in the 1932 cards. Here are 2 that I recently acquired, not knowing the variation diffences.
