1, 2-5, 15 [1855 Number One, 1856-57 Oscars, 1867 8 Skill 8 Coat of Arms] The COMPLETE SET of six 1924 OFFICIAL REPRINTS. Mint VF still affixed to the original 1924 Handbook page, as they were all issued. These 1924 reprints have color shades different from the even scarcer 1914 reprints. The 1924 #1 is Deep Blackish Blue (instead of Dark Greenish Blue). The 1924 Oscar colors are: Dull Yellowish Orange (instead of Dark/Bright Orange); Dark Silvery Gray (instead of Greenish Light Gray); Blackish Blue (instead of slightly greenish Dark Blue); Dark Brownish Red (instead of Light Brownish Red). The 1924 #15 is slightly orangish Red (instead of Carmine). In total, I have only had four or five complete sets of these (not all members of the sets at the same time) in 41 years. This is certainly among the nicest looking that I have had. ACTUAL item. |
