How rare are 1935 Schutter-Johnson cards?
 
And are they worth collecting?

Seem kind of high priced on ebay....

Thanks!

Sure you can find pop reports on PSA website.

I love these cards and think they are really cool. But over the years I have been drowned out like 10-1 by board members who don't like them at all. I mean they are drawn by a former major leaguer. How cool is that? Nevertheless, there is muted demand for these cards. The cartoonish aspect just doesn't appeal to a lot of folks apparently. Not to beat a dead horse, but I think they are quite unique and special. Last year one of the AHs sold a near complete set and I should have grabbed it.

I'd say they are very rare, though not particularly valuable relative to other things of the era.

Def rare and tough to find. You have to assume most people threw them out because of their design. Not a typical baseball card look. Similar to e91 caramel cards... the stars are undervalued because of the image.

I think the Ruth and Gehrig schutter Johnson cards are a bargain.

Secret "Raise Ball" Mechanics Revealed

Major League "Secrets" Revealed
Here we have (one candidate to be viewed as) baseball's first "closer", being used as an example of how to throw a fastball that rises. It was a generally accepted fact among baseball scouts and other "experts" (probably still is) that a ball could be made to rise on its way to the plate. Physicists have discredited the notion, deeming it impossible in our universe.

I love 'em. They can be found for reasonable prices if you are in no hurry to collect the set, though Gehrig will hurt.

I love the Ruth ones, but man they are plagued by severe miscuts and other issues.

From the look of his card Firpo may not have played in our universe.
