Item Description
Set of 24 cards each 2.5x2 7/8” with nice art on fronts, backs are blank. ©1936. ACC# R28. From the strip card set “Cartoon Adventures” for which there are four different subsets. We are offereing the complete Buck Rogers subset numbered 425-448. The other subsets are Tailspin Tommy, Tarzan and Bronco Bill (there were 8 cards for each of these subsets bringing the total of the set to 48 cards). All have been graded by SGC. Card grades/numbers are: 92 NM/MT+ 8.5 #'s 429,431,443; 88 NM/MT 8 #'s 425,427,437,438,444; 86 NM+ 7.5 #'s 434,435,439; 84 NM 7 #'s 432,436,440,445-447; 80 EX/NM 6 #441; 60 EX 5 #'s 426,433,448; 50 VG/EX 4 #'s 428,430,442. For these cards, EX is a high grade, to have 18 graded higher than this (and as high as NM/MT+) is incredible. This set is rare in any condition, the only other set we have offered in our 47 years was "raw" and as typically found, in much lesser condition, and it still sold for over $4,400. This is the set to have, little to no upgrading necessary, if even possible. A must have for serious collectors of non-sport cards and Buck Rogers items.
