Item Description
2-3/8x2-7/8". Issued continuously from 1934 to 1936, the National Chicle Diamond Stars (R327) set consists of 108 cards. Each card features a color art rendering of a player photograph, usually "in action," along with his name. The precise year of issue is deciphered by player statistics printed on the reverse - which also display a biography or big league tip - which is printed on a green or blue background. Paul Waner, nicknamed "Big Poison" in comparison to his little brother, Lloyd, known as "Little Poison", was a strong hitting outfielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates from the mid-1920s and throughout the 1930s. Paul would finish his career with a superb career batting average of .333 along with 113 homers, 1,309 RBI's and 1,627 runs scored. Waner would be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1952.
