Description
1932 PR2 Numbered Orbit Gum Pins Complete Set (57) - #2 All-Time and Current Finest on the PSA Set Registry! With an 8.074 GPA this set ranks #2 All-Time and Current Finest on the PSA Set Registry. Offered here is a rare and highly desirable complete set of 57 PSA-graded pins from the 1932 PR2 Orbit Gum "Numbered" variety. This elusive series is seldom seen in full, making a complete offering like this a significant opportunity for advanced collectors. Numbered sequentially but skipping to #120, the set undoubtedly frustrated young fans of the era as they tried in vain to complete their collections. The bright, colorful designs and scarcity of certain numbers only add to the challenge-and the charm-of this Depression-era issue.Constructed of metal and intended to be worn, these pins were especially prone to scratching and surface wear, making high-grade examples particularly difficult to find today. The preservation of this complete set suggests it likely originated from a vintage find many years ago, carefully stored and protected from the typical handling and damage. As a result, it stands as both a testament to the era's baseball memorabilia and a centerpiece-level item for any pre-war baseball collection.
Includes: PSA Mint 9: 7 pins, #'s 17, 18 Foxx, 20, 21, 31 O'Doul, 99, 120 Gomez; PSA NM-MT 8: 37 pins, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Cuyler, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12 Averill, 13, 14 Dean, 15, 16, 22, 23, 26 Grimes, 27, 28 Cochrane, 29, 30, 32, 33, 35, 36, 37, 38, 51, 64, 67 Herman, 92, 96, 103, 107 Lazzeri, 111 Combs, 116 Sewell; PSA NM 7: 9 pins, 10, 24, 31, 32, 33, 34, 55, 58 Lombardi, 72; PSA EX-MT 6: 4 pins, #'s 19, 25, 39 Simmons, 40.
