Three very rare 1934-6 R318 Batter Up Premiums of Charley Gehringer, Pepper Martin & Wes Ferrell.

Lot 55. Three very rare 1934-6 R318 Batter Up Premiums of Charley Gehringer, Pepper Martin & Wes Ferrell. Noted on the flap of a Batter Up High number wrapper, largely unnoticed is the offer “ALL FOR 1 CENT 1. A Large Photo Art Picture 2. A Stand Up Action Picture.... 3. A Big Chew of Quality Gum” We know about the card and the gum, but not the “Large Photo Art Picture” - until now. Incredibly rare newly identified type premium card, which measures 5” x 8”, is on glossy thin stock and has a dark red or maroon color. The back is blank. The offered three premiums are in fair-good condition. I know of 4 others from this very rare issue. They all show the exact same pose as on the R318 Batter Up card. Winning Bid $1,888.      Back to List
