November 14, 2019: Sports & Americana Auction
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 11/14/2019
Offered here is a rare complete set of the popular R137 Goudey Sky Birds, the 2 13/16-by-2 5/16-inch, blank-backed cards picturing charming paintings of civilian and military aircraft, one of the great prewar non-sport issues of the era. The grey-back cards have a remarkably consistent look and boast a largely Excellent to Ex-Mt overall condition, with the emphasis to Excellent and a few off-centers appearing in the lineup. A handful of condition anomalies include No. 1 (VG-Ex), No. 10 (Good), No. 77 (VG-Ex), No. 19 (Very Good) and No. 21 (VG). The wax pack wrapper (4 ½-by-6 1/8 inches) is also included in the lot, presenting in a matching Ex-Mt condition, but has a tiny section of one corner missing.
