1932 Chicago Cubs Team Issue Set or Near Set of 32.
Lot 35. 1932 Chicago Cubs Team Issue Set or Near Set of 32. Dueling checklists create an element of uncertainty. Beckett has this set complete at 27. No problem. All 27 cards are accounted for. And there are five cards left over. Alternatively, the Standard Catalog lists a 35-card set. Hmmm. Now, that makes the group hree cards short of a set. You call it. Either it is a 27-card set, and we have extras showing Margaret Donahue, baseball’s first woman corporate secretary, Robert C. Lewis, John O. Ceys, Philip K. Wrigley and M. W. Walker. Or we’re missing Gilly Campbell, Lance Richbourg and Harry Taylor. Adding to the uncertainty is the fact that Campbell didn’t join the Cubs until 1933, and Taylor was in Chicago for a total 10 games; consequently, why either would be in the set is something of a mystery. In any case the key cards grade: Cuyler ex-m, Grimm vg+ to ex, Grimes ex, Hartnett ex-m+, Herman ex-m+ and Stephenson ex-m+. The breakdown of the others is Nm+: 2 cards. Nm: 2. Ex-m+: 12. Ex-m: 4. Vg+ to ex: 3. Vg: 3. The cards are accompanied by the original Cubs envelope, which is in off condition – and undated.
Winning Bid $185.
