1936 National Chicle "Fine Pens" R313 Near Complete Set of 101 Cards (Out of 120 Cards in the Set) w. Lefty Gomez. This lot consists of 101 different cards out of the 120 cards included in this set, produced by the National Chicle Company. The cards measure 3-1/4"x5-3/8", and are blank back black & white photo cards. This set is known in the hobby as the "Fine Pens" set because of the thin lined facsimile signature(s) on the cards, and were originally only available as an in-store premium. Because of the limited availability of these cards even back in the 1930s, assembling a full or near complete set often presents the collector with a challenge. Key players in this set include Lefty Gomez, Joe Cronin, Fox/Simmons/Cochrens, Charlie Gehringer, Goose Goslin, Hank Gowdy, Lefty Grove, Cookie Lavegetto, Pepper Martin, Connie Mack/John McGraw, Ducky Medwick, Casey Stengel (horizonal crease), 1936 Chicago White Sox Team Card, many more. Condition of the cards ranges from FR-VG+, with approximately 35 cards with writing or typing on the back. Because of the thin paper stock, these cards are stored in pocket sleeves in an album for protection.
Condition: FR-VG+
