1933 Delong Gum Reprint Baseball Card # 13 Rabbit Maranville

Description: 1933 Delong Gum Reprint Baseball Card # 13 Rabbit Maranville (HOF) - Boston Braves (NM) 1930-1939 Baseball Cards 1930s baseball cards include an impressive card offering for collectors that spans much of the decade. The top card maker during the period was the Goudey Gum Company. While gum was the main attraction at the time, the sets include many of the big names of the era and this period of baseball cards has developed a strong following. Although the decade is devoid of familiar card companies, Goudey produced some great products. 1933 Goudey is the top overall option, and includes a Hall of Fame checklist. Top rookie players from the decade include Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Jimmie Foxx, Lou Gehrig, and Babe Ruth. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx all have rookie cards that are found in 1933 Goudey. 1933 DeLong Baseball Cards Featuring a distinctive design, the 1933 DeLong Baseball checklist is on the smaller side but still manages to pack a lot of talent into the set. Top cards include Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx and Goose Goslin. Product Details Combining a memorable design with a large number of superstars, 1933 DeLong Baseball is a home run of a baseball card set. Unfortunately, it was also the only one the company ever issued. Competing head-to-head with the first Goudey release, issued the same year, the colorful tandem offers a palate-pleasing array of choices for young collectors. Designated in the American Card Catalog as R333, the DeLongs are now the rarest and most revered gum sets of the 1930's. The cards measure 1-15/16” by 2-15/16”, which is slightly smaller than today's standard baseball card, but they were taller than most of the other gum sets in the 1930s. Not only do they stand out physically, the 1933 DeLong Baseball design features a black-and-white action photo of the player, die-cut against a colorful stadium backdrop. Furthermore, the positioning of the player in the card's foreground and placed inside a surrounding miniature ballpark gives the illusion that the player was larger than life. Many collectors consider this one of the most attractive sets of the era. Most 1933 DeLong Baseball cards are vertically oriented, but two players (Pepper Martin and Lefty Grove) are featured horizontally, which make their cards appear panoramic. 1933 DeLong Baseball card backs feature a playing tip by Boston-area sportswriter Austen Lake. In addition, backs include the card number and an ad for DeLong Gum. A very small set by today's standards at just 24 total cards, what makes the set even more unique is that over half the players in the checklist would go on to become Hall of Fame members. As a result, the cards are very appealing to collectors. The biggest star included on the checklist is, by far, Lou Gehrig, whose card accounts for a majority of the set's total value. Joining him on the 1933 DeLong Baseball checklist are such greats as Jimmie Foxx, Kiki Cuyler, and Pie Traynor, to name a few. One might think that with just 24 cards, it would be a relatively simple set to complete. However, you'd be wrong. Goudey clearly won the game battle that year and, as a result, are much easier to find in comparison, even to this day. Finding cards in any condition is difficult, let alone cards displaying collectible condition higher than a grade of five. As is often the case with popular early tobacco, gum and caramel issues whose original versions are much too pricey for most collectors, a 1933 DeLong Baseball reprint set is available and can serve as a nice representation. While obviously not holding any substantial monetary value from a collectibles standpoint, adding one to your collection won't break the bank and may provide the only way of actually holding anything resembling an authentic issue. 1933 DeLong Gum Reprint Set The 1933 DeLong Reprint Baseball Cards are a great way to own this unique set of cards for a fraction of the price that it would take to purchase the originals.
