1934-36 Diamond Stars identification help
Hi all, and happy new year!
I have a question regarding the 1936 Diamond Stars and was told to ask here as you all might be more knowledgeable on the topic. The card in question is a 1936 Diamond Stars #87 Steve O'Neil. From my understanding, 1934 was printed with a green back. 1935 was printed with green, then blue. And 1936 was printed with blue. The card I have is a green back. I have tried to look this up before with no luck. I have tried asking on a couple other forums, again, with not much luck. It does not look to be faded. I thought maybe it was a rare card, or a misprint that no one has noticed. Now, I'm not sure what to think. Here are a couple pictures of the card: What are your thoughts or opinions? Any help would be appreciated. |

Interesting question/card. According to this checklist on the Old Cardboard website:
http://www.oldcardboard.com/r/r327/r327list.asp card #'s 85 through 108 should only be seen with blue print on the backs and have a 1936 copyright date. It seems like in the past I have seen one of the high numbers with a green back, but my memory bank may have taken an early withdrawal. Would be interested in what others have to chime in about this subject. Brian |

I think I partially re-deposited what had been withdrawn from my memory bank. The card is a 103 Bill Dickey, or it could be the #11 Dickey, as the card has back damage in the area where the number is located. I remember that, according to the list in the link I posted previously, the card fit the supposed specifications of neither number #11 or 103. This is where my memory is still fuzzy, as I don't recall whether it had a blue back and a 1935 copyright date, or a Green back with either a 1935 or 1936 copyright.
It will be some time before I can get back with more details, so until then sit tight, card collecting community, but make sure you move around occasionally to prevent maladies related to inactivity. Brian Last edited by brianp-beme; 01-01-2017 at 12:20 PM. Reason: Dramatic spacing |

Thanks for the responses. I'm sure someone will be able to diagnose this. If not, the card will be tossed back into the depths of the closet collection.

I think there's only one way you could have Steve O'neil in green ink, and that would be if it's a reprint. There's one pretty high quality reprint set out there and they often pop up on eBay. If you post a scan of the front it might be easier to tell.

Yep. Reprint. Look at a real one on eBay and you'll probably be able to tell.
The borders on yours are too white. Looks too glossy too. |
