1936 R312 L. Sewell - Jimmie Foxx ⭐ Legendary Hall of Famer
This set is one of my favorite pre-war sets.
1936 R312 is probably top five among 1930s issues for collectors who value beauty and historical significance rather than simply market capitalization.

I would characterize the R312 set as a classic "knowledgeable collector's set."
In the R312 set this card probably ranks #4, in terms of priority in set building, which means it's the 4th most important key card in the set.
This is the only playing days card ever produced of Jimmie Foxx in game action.

1936 R312, Chas. "Red" Ruffing ⭐ Hall of Famer
I'm not a Yankees fan, per se.
However, I admire and respect their long legacy of great Hall of Famer players.

1936 R312, National Chicle Premium ⭐ Hans Wagner & Floyd Vaughan
I waited for 7 months for this beauty to be returned to me - it's one of my favorite cards.
This is the highest graded example of this card (POP 4) of 34 total PSA graded.
The 1936 R312 set is one of the most attractive issues of the 1930s. The cards are oversized (approximately 4" x 5⅜"), beautifully colorized from photographs, and include numerous Hall of Famers. PSA specifically identifies the Floyd Vaughan/Hans Wagner card as one of the more sought-after Hall of Fame subjects in the set.
These are two of the greatest hitting shortstops of all-time and both Bucs.
Among Hall of Fame shortstops, Vaughan ranks immediately behind Wagner in career batting average.

• Honus Wagner retired with a .328 lifetime batting average.

• Arky Vaughan retired with a .318 lifetime batting average.

1936 R312 Ernie Lombardi ⭐ Legendary Hall of Famer
I didn't know much about Ernie Lombardi until I saw this card.
After learning that Ernie Lombardi was one of the greatest hitting catchers in baseball history, I knew this card was coming to it's forever home.
Ernie was an imposing physical presence known for his massive hands, historically slow foot speed, and unmatched bat control.
He won two batting titles—a feat unmatched by any other catcher until Joe Mauer—and he caught both of Johnny Vander Meer's historic back-to-back no-hitters in 1938.
PSA has graded only 24 examples of this card. Only three are in PSA 6 holders and only one is graded higher than this one.
