Item Description
Issued c. 1943. Each is 3.25x5.25" and all feature the exceptional art of Earl Moran. This is the most desirable of the Mutoscope sets and features some of the most risque images of all the pin-up sets. Set of 64 including the rare and desirable short-printed "My Diver's License" but not the card that replaced it "Golden Hours." The "Diver's" card is a high grade example, SGC 88 NM/MT 8. Five others have been SGC-graded: 92 NM/MT+ 8.5, 88 NM/MT 8 (2), 55 VG/EX+ 4.5, 50 VG/EX 4. The latter two cards receiving the lower grades only because of an exceedingly minor surface crease line that is only noticeable upon the closest inspection, not visible under normal viewing conditions to the naked eye. These two cards are otherwise clean and vibrant with the same eye appeal as the higher condition SGC examples. The remaining 58 cards appear to be in the same NM/Mint condition as the higher graded SGC cards in this set. Choice set that includes the single rarest Mutoscope card.
