Lot 382. 1929 “Star Picture Stamps” Exhibit Company set of 16 with SGC graded Ruth card. Very rare exhibit set, though the key card with Babe Ruth, may be the most common.

The “50” denomination includes the “big names” Ruth, Tom Mix, Lindbergh, Chaplin, Dempsey, Lloyd, Fairbanks and Jolson and has been graded SGC 40 VG 3. The balance of the set averages excellent and has better names such as Joe Cobb (Our Gang), Wm Hart, Ben Turpin, Oliver Hardy, Tex Maynard, Harry Langdon, Adolf Menjou, Wm Powell, Gary Cooper, Buster Keaton, Eddie Cantor, Lon Chaney, WC Fields, Hoot Gibson, Ken Maynard, Wm Boyd, Buck Jones, Will Rogers, John Barrymore.
