Description

1934-36 Diamond Stars (ACC: R327) is a 108-card set released in multiple series over multiple years by National Chicle. Each card measures 2 3/8" X 2 7/8". There are multiple known variations for most cards based on when it was printed, and ink colors. Including all possible variations, the set balloons up to 170 cards. The backs of each card advertise a 240-card set, but only 108 were printed.

The first 24 cards were printed for the 1934 Series. All have Green backs and all have a 1934 copyright date. The 1935 series includes all 24 1934 cards plus an additional 60 cards. Cards #25-#72 only exist in Green backs, while cards #73-#84 have both Green and Blue backs. All 1935 Series cards (including the 24 cards reprinted from the 1934 Series) have a 1935 copyright. The final 24 cards (#85-#108) were issued in the 1936 Series along with a selection of 24 cards from the '34 and '35 series'. All 1936 cards, including the '34 and '35 Series reprints, have Blue backs and 1936 copyright dates. The last 12 cards in the 1936 Series (cards #97-#108) are notably tougher to find.

Having the same set released over multiple years allowed National Chicle to account for trades. For example, Dick Bartell (Card #15) is depicted as a Phillie in the original 1934 Series, but as a New York Giant in the '35 Series. There are also a number of errors and corrections.
