In my 30+ years collecting vintage PreWar cards I have never seen (or recall seeing) 2 card panels of these 1935 R321's (aka "1935 Goudey Gum Co.")
The R321 cards were originally issued in common gum packs usually 1 individual card per pack w/gum for like 1 cent. These 2 card panels you have are from a different source as they wouldnt have fit in any known pack. Also I have never seen cards that have evidence of being handcut (top and bottom), so Im sure these are very rare as I dont recall ever seeing cut down versions of these 2 card panels either. thanks for posting, very interesting! awesome find
Thanks for all the responses, very interesting. Thank you Frank for the info and Pete for the link as the Cronin is the other puzzle I have. It should give me a ballpark as to what these are worth.
I'd grade them asap. Reminder that pretty much 100 percent of the people here only secretly look out for themselves verse admitting anyone has cooler stuff.
Is it possible that this was originally a complete 6-card panel that was cut into three separate 2-card strips? >>
Could be but I'm not 100% sure. Grabbed at an estate auction. That's my concern that if they get graded they will get the evidence of trimming distinction. We will see. Thanks for the responses.

6-card panel.
Anyone know if PSA would grade these? Knowing there is a puzzle on the back is it the wrong thing to do (grading them) in terms of value.

I was told yes but they posted as N9 no grade. That was a waste of time.
