Presented is a true rarity, an uncut sheet of the elusive 1948 Blue Tint R346 set, with the entire 48-card set featured in a neatly matted and framed presentation. The sheet of approximately 23-by-17 inches, is matted in navy blue and white with an attractive blue frame, bringing the measurements to 25-by-18 inches. The sheet presents decently, but a number of the 2-by-2 5/8-inch cards have significant damage as noted below. Each of the cards have been scored with reasonable precision along the bottom edge; the set includes 15 Hall of Famers. Several cards (7) have notable damage that would likely dictate a Fair designation if the cards were adjudged individually: No. 2 Durocher, No. 3 Marion, No. 5 Lindell, No. 35 Greenberg, No. 38 Elliott, No. 43 Feller and No. 46 Vander Meer; a second group of 10 cards have significant creasing that would likely dictate a Good designation if adjudged individually: No. 12 Masi, No. 13 Shea, No. 20 Spahn, No. 21 Reynolds, No. 26 Edwards, No. 27 York, No. 28 Black, No. 29 Gehrig, No. 34 Slaughter and No. 36 Robinson.
