1936 Mitchell’s Gallery of 1935 Overview
This set was a year of review as it was printed in 1936 and looked back on 1935. Cards featured famous personalities who made an impact in many different areas, including the world of sports.
The set was an updated set of sorts from the previous year in 1935. Like the set issued the year before by Mitchell’s, many collectors confuse the date. It is called A Gallery of 1935 but since it revisits the prior year, it was actually issued in 1936.
The dating is an important point because of an early card of Hall of Fame boxer Joe Louis. Louis’ rookie cards were issued in 1935 and this one is commonly cited as a rookie, even though it is not.
Sports cards included all sorts of celebrities from tennis, golf, and boxing, among others. Among the stars in the set are Louis and tennis star Helen Wills-Moody. Boxing, golf, and tennis cards are identified in the checklist below.
In addition to the athletes in the set, non-sports personalities of note include a young (then Princess) Queen Elizabeth, Shirley Temple, and Walt Disney. The card of Disney, in particular, is highly regarded by collectors. It is one of his earliest cards and often sells for more than $100. High-grade examples can sell for hundreds. Along with the card of Louis, it is the most valuable in the set.
