Partial Set of 1933 Rittenhouse Candy (E285) - Babe Ruth, Jimmy Fox, Rogers Hornsby, Mel Ott

I have a partial set (32 cards in total) of 1933 Rittenhouse Candy cards (E285) for sale. Rittenhouse Candy Company created these cards, which included letters on the back. Collectors would have to find enough different letters to spell "Rittenhouse Candy Co." to win various prizes. Other backs of cards explained the contest and available prizes. The complete set is 52 cards (there are four duplicates included in this lot). Included in this collection are:
Babe Ruth, Rogers Hornsby, Lefty Grove, Mel Ott, Jimmy Fox, Hack Wilson (duplicates), Walter Berger, Max Bishop (duplicates), James Bottomley, Fred Brickell, Joe Cronin, Hughie Critz, Kiki Cuyler, Geo Davis, Spud Davis, Jimmy Dykes, Mule Haas, Babe Herman, WM Herman, Don Hurst (Jack of Diamonds), Don Hurst (Six of Spades), Rabbit McNair, Lefty O'Doul, Al Simmons, Rube Wallberg, Lloyd Waner (duplicates), Paul Warner (Six of Diamonds), Paul Warner (Five of Spades - duplicates). Please see pictures for details of cards. I am selling the set for $1,800. Let me know if you're interested.

My collection: Fact #15

The most valuable card I ever had the honor of owning was a 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #181 graded PSA 4. I sold it in 2007. I miss that card.
