My next 12 high numbers or “really” high numbers would be something like:

Swede Hanson
Don Hutson (Believe it or not, I think Stan Kostka was actually the most hyped of the incoming rookies)
Mike Michalske
Arnie Herber
Johnny “Blood” McNally
Bill Hewitt
George Musso
Ace Gutowsky (premium exists)
Ox Emerson
George Christensen (premium exists)
Father Lumpkin
Mel Hein (Whose that #7 guy in the backfield on Isola's card?)

I left Cal Hubbard out since he didn't play in 34. Red Grange's last year was 34, but not sure if Chicle would have known that when the cards were printed (Grange does have a premium at least).
Great list. I would definitely include Grange, though. He's such an iconic player!
