Let's see some of your favorites!!

Im mainly into 1930's movie and film cards, but would love to see some of your favorites from your non-sports registry sets.

Here's one that was on our old thread, but Im too lazy to scan a new one tonight. Its from the 1935 Ardath Tobacco Film Stage and Radio Set. I love the color in this set.



Let's see some favorites!!!! Thanks

Series Two of 300 cards; German issue, 1936. Series One was issued in 1934; tough to find not pasted into albums. My set is complete and unpasted. I've passed up a lot of series one sets because they were pasted. They measure approximately 2" x 2 7/16". Here's a typical back - all backs are the same except for the card number; there is no descriptive bio or anything on the backs:



Oh, and they are embossed.

Cubfan

Mark,

Conversely, I have the first set of those, but only a part of the second set. Just to see what would happen, I put 3 or so in with my last submission.

Here's one:



These cards BY FAR have the most intricate designing that I have seen in cards. Every piece of design outside of the picture is embossed. Absolutely fabulous cards.

These are REALLY neat cards... and I never had any idea they existed. Please accept a BIG thanks for sharing!

The 1999 Basic Pokemon set contains 15 holofoil cards. PSA has graded a total of 1,984 cards in 9 (70% of which is Charizard alone), and 157 cards in 10 (28% is Charizard.)

Chansey has the fewest 10s of any holofoil card, and here they are. (IMO the card on the left doesn't have the centering to be a 10, but what the heck... it makes up for some 9s I think should be 10s.)

Chansey is a real pain in the bu++, because they so frequently come straight out of the pack with roller marks and scuffs on the delicate foil, which makes it pointless to have them graded at all.

Keith - great card. I read a thumbnail about the first series being probably the nicest card issue of it's era, with the possible exception being the second series! I have a personal indifference to slabbing round cornered cards, but you may have changed my mind with that Alice Faye card. If I could only be certain PSA would holder my cards in the same one you got, rather than leaving it to swim in a too-large holder, or, worse yet, get bagged in mylar -

Cubfan

Mark,

One of the other cards I submitted in the same submission (a Lombard 9) was slabbed in the mylar bag, is a little crooked and cant seem to be straightened by heavy banging .

I have no idea why 2 cards from the same set, in the same submission, would be slabbed in two different fashions.

So I guess there is no guarantee. Unless you can ask for it maybe?

Those are great cards - I also like the German prints - I also have both the 32 and 36 Olympic albums - the 32 allowed the person to paste - and of course it is - the 36 I posted a while back - the cards are very nice.

Keith
Your collection makes me humble! 9's and 10's! Wow is all I can say.

Mark, Keith - thanks for sharing.

Gary
Is that an auto card?

Dennis
Sorry, I'm clueless about your cards - are the two cards rare?

Like Mark, I like to collect Movie Stars - I really like the Dixie Lids - they are similar to the baseball issues.



If you look up the year of the movie on the lid, you can probably bet that is the year of issue for it. This movie was from 1952.

Mike, I saw a nice little stack of the Dixie lids at the Chicago show last night. But, alas, upon closer inspection they looked like they had been run over by a truck . Stains, creases, you name it.

The only graded non-sports cards I saw there (or at least pre-1970) were 2 PSA 9(oc)'s, one Civil War and one Mars Attacks. The raw stuff was PSA 3-5 quality at best.

I enjoy the cowboy/indian theme cards. Here are two 1933 Goudey Indian cards of Buffalo Bill and Wild Bill Hickok.

Cubfan is the only person I know who consistently pulls 10's from 70 year old cards. Don't you just hate that.

I agree...let's tie him up and make him watch 36 hours of Oprah! I don't think this is a 10 but hopefully a 9.

Cubfan

Just a couple hours of Oprah would be enough to do me in.

Are you going to submit that lid Mike? Is that a stain at 2 o'clock or just the scan? If just the scan, then I would think the lid would do well, if there are no hidden creases. The lack of corners always increases the probability of a strong grade.

When Ive had marks of some sort on my cards (whether evident or only seen when you slant it under a light), they usually will come back with a grade of 5 or below.

They're not worth grading IMO, just for looking at. In fact, all of them except two, still have their wax paper on them.

my latest mars attacks card, my goal is a set that is an overall 7.00
this example while graded a 6 brings my gpa to 7.16. i will pursue 6's whenever i see them and i feel they are hi end for the grade. 8 more to go......
