Default 1935 national chicle psa high grade complete set

Posted By: andy becker

i am offering the centerpiece of my collection. the set is complete and would rank 4th on the psa set registry if it was registered.
i have worked on this set for over ten years, with an emphasis on color, centering, and registration. i was less concerned about the technical grade than the appearance of cards. the set is a slight fraction behind the #3 set on the registry. set #1 on the regisrty is owned by one of the "whales" and set #2 is owned by a football "whale". i highly doubt those will come to market anytime soon, if ever in our lifetimes.
the highlight of the set is obviously #34 bronko nagurski. this nagurski is the nicest psa 7 i have ever seen and from a "looks" standpoint is far superior to some of the psa 8's.
nagurski is shown below, of course other scans are available on request.
set contains:

#1 dutch clark psa 7
#2 bo molenda psa 7
#3 george kenneally psa 6 (this is a "better" card than the 7's and 8's i have owned)
#4 ed matesic psa 7
#5 glenn presenell psa 7
#6 pug rentner psa 7
#7 ken strong psa 7
#8 jim zyntell psa 7
#9 knute rockne psa 8(mc) (this is the only card with a qualifier, the image is fantastic and this was the first pre-war football card i ever owned....so i have been reluctant to upgrade it)
#10 cliff battles psa 7
#11 turk edwards psa 7
#12 tom hupke psa 7
#13 homer griffiths psa 8
#14 phil sorboe psa 7
#15 ben ciccone psa 7
#16 ben smith psa 7
#17 tom jones psa 8
#18 mike mikulak psa 7
#19 ralph kercheval psa 7
#20 warren heller psa 8
#21 cliff montgomery psa 8
#22 shipwreck kelley psa 7
#23 beattie feathers psa 7
#24 clarke hinkle psa 7
#25 dale burnett psa 7
#26 john isola psa 6
#27 bull tosi psa 5
#28 stan kostka psa 7
#29 jim macmurdo psa 5
#30 ernie caddel psa 8
#31 nic niccolai psa 8
#32 chester johnston psa 8
#33 ernie smith psa 6
#34 bronko nagurski 7
#35 luke johnsos psa 6
#36 bernie masterson psa 4 (presents much nicer!)

i cannot emphasize enough that this set was put together with eye appeal as a much higher factor than technical grade. it is the centerpiece of my collection and is only being offered to offset another card purchase.
i have a price in mind that i will sell for, but i would prefer to discuss that via email rather than on a public forum.
please, serious inquiries only.
