Description

1938 Western Movie Stars (R96-3) - Group of Uncut Card Sheets & Individual Cards - 43 Total Cards .
Issued in 1938, Western Movie Stars (R96-3) captures the height of Hollywood's Golden Age Western boom, spotlighting popular silver-screen cowboys and frontier heroines who dominated Saturday matinees. The series features portrait-style imagery of leading Western film personalities, presented in the straightforward strip-card format typical of late-Depression era non-sport issues. Produced in panel form and hand-cut, surviving examples commonly display the irregular borders and centering variations associated with R-card production. Today, R96-3 remains a desirable prewar entertainment release, valued for its strong Western theme, period star power, and its representation of the enduring appeal of frontier cinema in the 1930s.

Offered here is an assortment of cut and uncut card sheets from the 1938 release.

The lot includes 6 uncut sheets containing 6 cards each as well as 7 individual cut out cards.

The ungraded cards exhibit moderate handling wear, including some softened or rounded corners and minor surface wear consistent with age. Some cards show centering variations, but overall image quality remains strong.
