hi all,
i`m just jumping into the non-sports registry (1938 gum, horrors of war set)
psa, you have ALOT of non-sports registrys, but you have no forum for these folks to have fellowship.
build one, they will come. seriously, look at your non-sports registry section.
its a great oppertunity for psa to fill a void, that they already created.
your friend, lee

I would love to see a non-sports message board to spread some knowledge about these cards. I'm working on an 1889 Kinney Bro's Leaders set to go with my 1933 Sky Birds and 1944 American Beauties sets already on the registry. There are several other sets that I'm contemplating getting into also and it would be great to have a forum here at CU to go to

Basically I wanted to know if I called them correctly as 1933 (or 1935) Chicago Tribune cards, how they were issued, how many in the set, how scarce they are and approx. value. I have been to a lot of card shows over the past 20 years and have never seen these before. Maybe I should have looked for a non-sport card show somewhere. Thanks for any help.

Always looking for 1957 Topps BB in PSA 9!
2005 Origins Old Judge Brown #/20 and Black 1/1s, 2000 Ultimate Victory Gold #/25
2004 UD Legends Bake McBride autos & parallels, and 1974 Topps #601 PSA 9
Rare Grady Sizemore parallels, printing plates, autographs
Nothing on ebay
Lee, I have found that there is some pretty good advice from a lot of the posters on this thread, as well as murcerfan, when it come to answering non-sports card questions.
This is the Dick Tracy and another card I was talking about.
Thanks,

i`ve found what your looking for,
NAME; cartoon comics.
there are eight characters,each with a subset consisting of one portrait and seven action story cards.
all the cards except joe palooka carry a "chicago tribune" credit line; all cards are dated 1935 and each one bears the signature of the artist.
rouletted edges indicate this series was issued in strips. this would be a very difficult set to complete
dick tracy; $30.00 in ex. condition terry & the pirates; $20.00 in ex. cond.
the prices listed are from 1993. so in my opinion, you could add between $10 - $25 to those listed
these cards are an earlier version of the 1936 cartoon adventures. the manufacture of these two sets is unknown even today.
anything else ?

<< <i>y not create one like the nolan ryan thread........in psa reg maybe? >>
Steve
That's a great idea - just name for Non-sports guys or somethin.
Mike
Amongst other reasons, I used to collect them back in 93-94.... It's too painful to think what they would be worth now if I had kept them...
lets just say my 1976 topps set would be real easy to complete.......
as far as just doing a thread, it really does not allow for a variaty of subjects to be viewed or answered to.
if you step away for a day or possibly a few hours the thread may have changed around 4 or 5 times, and your question was never
answered and is now old news, sorry.
one single thread is to dynamic, it changes every time someone else throws out another subject.
would it be better than what psa offers, of course
but a forum is what is needed, many subjects and many threads at one time.
carol, (board moderator) are you out there ???? carol, what are the chances ???

Thanks for all of your help on researching the Dick Tracy and the Terry and the Pirates cards. Very helpful information for me. Thanks!

what a beautiful color card set !! AND FROM 1938 <<< !!!
many non-sportscard experts feel this set is the holy grail of non-sportscard sets (there are many reasons why) thats another thread !
have you got any non-sportscards that you don`t know what they are or would you like to just show your card(s)
lets see em !
your friend, lee
Best,
S.
They certainly wouldn't be any less active than the poor autograph forums. That's a waste land over there!

PS - Hey Stone .... the Gomer set is one of the ones I'm thinking of grading. Are you building that one too?
<< <i>Hey Stone .... the Gomer set is one of the ones I'm thinking of grading. Are you building that one too? >>

Mine is complete but not worth grading - it is hard to find cards centered - there used to be a company with the name Merchant cards in tuff stuff or scd who I got non-sports stuff from in the 90's. I also used to go to a few shows that had some non-sport vendors who had a lot of cool stuff at a good price. I completed this set from 88T Dinosaur Attacks - kind of like the Mars Attacks but very cheap.
Stone
<< <i>Wondering if there is a definitive book(s) on non-sports cards. >>
Glad you asked. I own two Sport Americana cards loaded with info. The Sport American Price Guide to Non-Sports Cards (1930-1960) by Christopher Benjamin and Dennis Eckes and the Sport Americana Price Guide to the Non-Sports Cards by Christopher Benjamin. The second one has no dates in the title but covers cards from 1961-the Deset Storm cards of 1991.
The first came out in 1991 and the other in '92, so the values are way out of whack. Despite that, the info included in the books are hard to get elsewhere. The books show sample cards, wrappers, some display boxes and even a few items from store displays. The Horrors of War set gets a lot of attention, and even shows a photo of the box that held a "complete" set (1-240, issued before the final series) that could be purchased in the mail for ONE DOLLAR (!), as well as a copy of the ad for the set in Life magazine.
They should be relatively easy to get on Amazon or eBay.

<< <i>heres one of my first graded 1938 gum inc. horrors of war cards >>
you're picture caused me to go buy a handful of raw, low-grade horrors of war cards..
i might try to put together a low grade set..
Stone
chris is right on line, those 2 books will be great in your reference collection. i`m a johnny bench collector (#1 ranked master set) but i also really enjoy the non-sportscard world.
heres pics of both books;
thanks, mike for the dino scans
come on folks, lets see some pics !!

very nice examples of my favorite t. v. set. i know that set is a beast to get centered cards in. did you know peter lalos
(owner of champs and bums auction house) has his psa #1 ranked 1971 brady bunch set for sale ?
from the 1954 "mischief goes to mars" set (tobacco sized cards) great coloring.
keep this thread going, scans, questions, comments, etc.....
lee
steve
1938 horrors of war, i`m already registered. i know, i flip floped so many times.
but after further study and viewing the cards themselves, i was hooked, steve you know how it is.
the history of this set, the vintage age of this set, the raw color, etc.......
had to be, lee
I know this is comic and not cards but I also like to collect original comic art - this one is from Spiderman - this segment is from a full page original art proof.
Mike
Lee

Mike,
Yes it's complete, with a GPA of 8.13.
I also have complete graded Munsters, "59" Stooges, Hogan's Heroes, Beverly Hillbillies, Mars Attacks, and a few other partial sets like Lost In Space and Brady Bunch. I sold off all of my sports cards and collect non-sports only now.

Thanx
1966 topps Get Smart - here is the original art for card #34. I picked it up from the Topps Vault.
I was considering collecting the set but I never got around to it.
Stone
edit: took out dead scan
looking through the psa non-sports registry its amazing how almost nobody has put up scans of their collections.
it should be a rule that if you have the #1 set at the end of the psa registry year, you have to post scans of at least 1/3 of your set.
will never happen, but would be nice.
your friend, lee
or suffer the consequences, say 10 lashes
i feel pretty strongly about this.
20 lashes, 10 front and 10 back !!
and the 2nd place finisher gets to hand them out !!!!!
gosh, almost makes me want to be runner-up <<<<<<<
thanks steve, lee

Yeah, this set is terrible when it comes to centering. I didn't realize that Peter had his set for sale. I've made a few Brady Bunch trades with him.
<< <i>do you have the complete set graded? >>
I have three or four complete sets, and am working to get one complete graded (7 or better). My set is "Here's the story". I've got ~25 BB cards at PSA right now. This won't complete the set, but will get me closer.
