1934-1936 Batter-Ups
In general, I find 1930s baseball cards to be among the most colorful, mysterious and under-appreciated decade in the hobby. Sure, caramel and tobacco cards are nice, but there is something about depression-era cards that have really caught my interest. I recently completed the 1933 R305 Tattoo Orbit set, I seem to have finished it at the right time, since hardly any ever pop up for sale anymore. I've also completely deconstructed my collection and starting from the ground up with the 1933 Delong set (SGC 40 or better) and 1934-1936 Batter-Ups (completely ungraded).
I would appreciate any thoughts or musings about the Batter-Up set. I'm only going to do the low series with as many different colors as possible along with a wrapper. Being that I work in the auction industry, there are enough Goudey's and Diamond Stars that I could find them on the bottom of the Marianas Trench. However, Batter-Ups seem a little bit more elusive than I once thought they were. Thoughts? Opinions? Costs associated with building a raw (VGish) low series set?
