1935 Diamond Stars #83 Blue Back, Paul Waner.
Paul “Big Poison” Waner carved out a Hall of Fame career as one of the finest hitters of his era, starring for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1926 through the early 1940s. Known for his smooth swing and exceptional bat control, Waner collected over 3,100 hits, won three batting titles, and earned the 1927 National League MVP award while helping lead the Pirates to the World Series. Despite his modest size, he earned the nickname “Big Poison” in contrast to his brother Lloyd “Little Poison,” with both forming one of the greatest sibling duos in baseball history. His 1935 Diamond Stars #83 card, captures Waner in his prime but also stands out as one of the more colorful and art-deco–styled cards of the prewar era.
