DIAMOND CLASSICS 1 Complete Set: #'d/10000 |1982 Big League Collectibles/No Box

Description: For the Baseball Hobbyist . . . A Numbered Limited Edition: Uniquely numbered of 10000 issued DIAMOND CLASSICS I ~ Issued by Big League Collectibles, Inc., in 1982 ~ Starting in 1982 our family planned, produced, packaged and promoted 4 numbered, limited edition card sets under our company name, Big League Collectibles, Inc. We were based first in Canal Winchester, Ohio, and later New Gloucester, Maine. Each card was produced by hand painting in colored oils a postcard size black & white photograph of a popular ballplayer. A brief biography together with statistics was added. The cards were manufactured on sturdy 6-ply card stock (similar to the 1933-56 Goudey, pre-1957 Topps, Gum Inc., etc.). Card size is 2-1/2" by 3-3/4" - same size as the popular 1953-55 Bowman baseball cards. We have a few of each set available although we once sold out completely Diamond Classics series one and series two. We have since restocked a handful of those sets through purchases from collectors who originally purchased the sets from us. This offer is for Series 1 only which consists of 55 cards plus uniquely numbered certificate card. It does NOT include the original box issued with the set. The set offered was issued in 1982 as the first series of our DIAMOND CLASSICS set. Diamond Classics (Series I and II) together feature 110 cards (plus 2 individually numbered certificate cards) of popular players from all eras starting with the late 19th century. This offer is for Series 1 only which consists of 55 cards plus uniquely numbered certificate card. The certificate card for each is different with a unique number imprinted on the reverse side of the checklist card. (The example shown is No. 7410 but the certificate card the buyer will receive will be different.) All cards in this series have been scanned, and shipping cost includes insurance utilizing eBay/Paypal's Shipcover insurance. Condition is Near-Mint and does NOT come in its original box although it will be securely packaged.
