Lot #277 1940 Play Ball Complete Set -6 Cards (234/240) Cond: VG

One of the great sets from this era, there are so many classic HOFers and stars here. The photographs used in this set are of high quality, I love the detailed biographies on the backs. The offered set varies in grade, it it about 60% VG, the balance varies in both directions, but generally lesser. The set could benefit from some fairly simple upgrading. The six missing cards are 1, 27, 40, 120, 168 and 225. We rate the star cards as follows: 6 Gomez Good, 7 Dickey Good, 30 Moe Berg Fair-Good, 41 Gehringer Good, 46 Averill PSA 2, 87 Hubbell Fair-Good, 88 Ott Poor, 102 C Klein VG, 104 P Waner Good, 105 L Waner Poor (ph), 107 Vaughn Good, 119 Alexander Poor, 124 E Combs VG-Ex/Ex, 132 C Mack PSA 3, 133 Foxx VG+ mk, 134 Cronin GVG mk, 141 C Stengel Good, 170 Speaker Poor, 171 Heilmann Good, 172 Bender PSA 3 mk, 173 Lajoie Fair-Good, 174 Evers Fair, 175 Mathewson VG, 177 Baker Good, 178 Carey VG+, 179 Sisler GVG, 180 Cochrane VG+, 223 Jennings VG+, 224 Traynor PSA 2, 226 Hooper VG+, 227 Haines PSA 1.5, 230 Faber GVG mk, 232 Goslin Good, 234 Chance Fair, 235 McGraw PSA 3, 236 Bottomley Good, 237 Keeler PSA 4, 238 Lazzeri Poor-Fair, 240 Atwood GVG.
