I'll tell you a secret about the Diamond Stars set that few people appreciate. The cards were issued in three years: 1934, '35, and '36. In 1934 they issued cards 1 to 24. You can tell the '34 cards because they list the '33 stats on the back instead of '34.
If you can find any of those cards in high grade, grab them! I challenge anyone to produce a PSA 5 or higher of any of the 1934 cards. The blue backs, on the other hand, are much easier to find in high grade than even the '35 issued versions. People claim that fewer of the blue back cards were produced, but I think more of them may have survived than the '34 cards - at least in high grade. I'd actually pay more for the green back Cuyler than the blue back if it was a 5 or higher.
The Diamond Star set is fun to collect, especially if you go for all the variations.
