The 1936 R312 premium baseball set, issued by National Chicle, is comprised of twenty-five individual player portraits, fourteen multiplayer portraits, and eleven in-action photos. The beautiful, rich pastel colors of R312 premiums make them one of the most striking and distinctive of all 1930s issues.
The R312 premiums have received very little attention from collectors, in part due to the fact that they are larger than standard cards, measuring 4" x 5 3/8". Also, they are blank-backed with no identification of the issuer.
A note of interest is that Joe DiMaggio’s name is misspelled “DiMagio” on his card.
I have completed this set, but I will try to collect any upgrades that I can find as they can be quite hard to acquire in decent condition.
