Diamond star sheet from Copeland sale
A month or two after the Copeland sale the Diamond Star sheet was cut up and the individual cards offered in full page ad in the SCD. But I had heard at least one other World series extension sheet exists. I still have some of my dads SCD archive and will try and find ad.

If my memory serves me correctly, I think that someone else (Alan Hagar?) wanted to buy the sheet with intentions to cut it up and ran an ad offering the cards on an individual basis right after the auction closed. Luckily, he did not purchase the sheet at auction or immediately afterwards and it was, therefore, never cut up. The sheet was most recently sold in 2016 by SCP. https://catalog.scpauctions.com/bids...e?itemid=26595 Last edited by Baseball Rarities; 04-29-2018 at 03:42 PM. |

Glad to hear that it is still most likely intact. I wish the producers of the Diamond Stars would have used these cards for #97 through 108, instead of the repeat designs, which I have always thought brought the set down a notch in popularity among set collectors.
They really went full blown art deco backgrounds on the unpublished cards...and I really love their look. Brian |

Just checked the Fritsch website...they still offer the 12 Diamond Stars 'Extension' cards as a set of individual cards or as a complete sheet. The listing does not indicate whether there is anything on backside.

thanks David
I'm glad this thread was resurrected. Great work by David who is extremely generous with his resources and knowledge, which are both vast. He was instrumental in helping me track down a 19th Century piece from this auction that's now in my personal collection.

I think I see a Matty I used to own from that collection.

I actually own a copy of this catalog as well as the Halper collection catalog and they're both a huge part of Hobby history in their ownright.
