The bluebacks from 1936 are somewhat rarer than the 1935 series, but at least you can find them in great condition. It's the 1934 series from 1 to 24 that are the true hidden gems. You cannot find these cards in any sort of decent condition, and I think they're much rarer than the blue backs from '36 (except for the high numbers from 97-108). But alas, no one cares, so no real premium. I guess they'll always be the poor step child of the Goudeys.
A PSA 5 or better card from the '34 series is a HUGELY undervalued card. It should be at least 2 to 3 times pricier than the '35 version of equal grade.
I posted this once before, but since it's not an Uzit back with a ghost or a stamp or an overprint or whatever, no one's interested, which is fine. I like this set for all the Tigers in it.
