Discussion about Diamonds stars.

Thanks for the for the articles David. Chris I just googled to see what the inflation on 1 cent would be and it’s 19 cents in 2018. I guess a penny wasn’t what I thought I was back then. I have seen the 1937 diamond star reprints . I also seen the uncut sheet. They look different from the rest of the set. I wonder what this set would have been if they kept on making them.
Did the packs look the same every year?

Here is a gallery of all the known gum baseball card wrappers from the 1930s through 1950s. Diamond Stars wrappers are near the middle under "National Chicle". They had a variety of different wrappers, but it looks like the differences don't correspond to different years.

These cards are a great alternative to the much higher Goudeys......

Always liked this set - colorful and full of great players and versions

Design is one of the best pre-war issues, does not get enough credit - more or less due to having no Ruth or Gehrig

My first card from this set was Jimmie Foxx!

Good Luck Collecting!
