One of the scarcest 1930s issues is the 1937 O-Pee-Chee die-cuts. Designated as V300 by the American Card Catalog, the 1937 O-Pee-Chee "die-cuts" measure approximately 2-5/8" x 2-15/16" and appear to be an interesting combination of the '34 Goudey, 1934-36 Batter-Up & 1937 O-Pee-Chee Baseball Stars sets. Printed in black & white, player images were die-cut approximately near the center of the card in order that the top portion could be folded back to create a stand-up card. Along with the Bob Feller rookie card, the set's most valuable and coveted subject is the Yankee Clipper Joe DiMaggio, with the '37 O-Pee-Chee virtually being his "2nd-Year" issue. Seldom surfacing in any grade, offered here in a stellar POP 1 PSA 2.5 GOOD+ is one to consider! A rarely seen B&W DiMaggio "batting" image depicts alluring contrast and crystal-clear clarity, even corner wear consistent with the grade, and some modest soiling along the perimeter. The back reflects bold typography, set against a faintly toned gray background. One of the tougher DiMaggio cardboard keepsakes to capture in any grade, and one that unquestionably resides as one of his earliest baseball card issues!
