1933 Goudey collectors here ?

[g_vezina_c55]

One of my favorite looking set is the 1933 goudey.
Any 33 goudey collector here ?
Anyone here have a complete set ?
Your set is with or without the Lajoie ?

I also added a little poll to see how many goudey collector we have on this board.

I start this thread if anyone want to share is 33 goudey beauty here or speak about this beautifulll set !

[TNP777]

Here's my Dodgers set in all its well-loved glory!

When I first got into prewar as a teen my first prewar card bought for me was a t206, but the first card I purchased was a 33 Goudey. I wanted to do the entire set eventually, but I am very slow and doubt I will get there because I enjoy just adding new sets. Also I have become less willing to pay more money for a certain card just because that player was considered good (most of my cards are "common" players).

If I ever do complete the set Lajoie will not be in it, since he doesn't have 33 Goudey card. He has 1934 Goudey card (based off the year on the card) that was made to fill a gap in the 33 set.

[HOF Auto Rookies]

I only collect signed HOF Goudey's...

[g_vezina_c55]

For my part in the futur i want to build a goudey set. I really love that set and when i will go ahead and build the set i will have the Lajoie in it for sure...

I really love the story behind the lajoie card.

[abothebear]

I don't, but wouldn't mind getting my hands on a few of them. I love the Pepper Martin card.

[conor912]

i'm about 30 cards short of finishing my mid-grade set. most likely i'll get a lajoie RP and dirty it up to look like the rest. the ruths and gehrigs are tolerable, but $20k for a baseball card is a hard check to write.

[Paul S]

I used to have a few dozen of them -- all gone now -- but not to collect the set. It just happened that way because I like them.

[Robextend]

I am 13 shy of the complete set:

[tonyo]

In 2009, I started collecting again after a long hiatus. Bought an upper deck goudey box and eventually put together the base + sp set. While searching ebay for modern goudeys. I ran across some real ones and thought I should grab one just for fun. 1933 Goudey Travis Jackson was the first pre-war card I bought and launched me into pre-war collecting. I collected all the hofers (minus Lajoie and the 2nd Gehrig) in 09, 10, and 11. Then last summer I decided to go for the rest of the set.

As usual I'm in the raw "fair/good/vg" neighborhood

I'm now 15 shy for the set (counting Lajoie and a 2nd Gehrig) and my list of hofers to upgrade is at 16.


here's a photo with the Manush upgrade I just received from Jason in front of my hall of fame cheese box.

[obcbobd]

Completed my low grade set in 1999 minus the Lajoie.

My favorite set of all time!

[btkpath]

The '33 Goudey's represented my return to baseball card collecting after a 25 year hiatus. I used to collect cards as a kid in the early to mid 70's, but was met with a mother that "couldn't remember where she put my cards" when questioned about returning the cards of my youth to me as a 38 year old. That is when I turned to vintage and began my foray with the '33 Goudeys, a set which seemed "completable" and I loved their appearance.

It took me 2 1/2 to 3 years, but was able to complete the set.....

http://www.psacard.com/PSASETREGISTRY/publishedset.aspx?s=1298

including this modestly graded Lajoie.

[AMBST95]

I think it's a sweet looking set. I try to buy 1 goudey a month. I've been doing it now for about a year. I'm up to 13 cards. My goal is a set in PSA 6.

[GoudeyJim]

Hi.
The 33 Goudeys are my favorite set of all time. I once had a set about 75% done but had to sell off most of the cards. I have kept only 5 of my favorites but intend on tackling the set again.
I doubt I'll get a Lajoie but you never know. What do low grade examples of the Lajoie go for?

Jim

[milkit1]

DID SOMEONE SAY autographed 1933 goudey?!!>
oh no one did :confused:
Well Ill say it then! :D

[g_vezina_c55]

.

I can agree more with that. It is what i hate about collecting t206 cards...impossible to complete the set..i know i will never be able to finish the set..but with goudey it is possible to complete the setvwith lajoie ...you dont need to be millionaire like t206..

Sometime i think to pass my plank for afford a lajoie...perhaps one day i will do it and build only a 520 or 521 t206 set

And congrat to you for your complete and almost complete set..the psa and sgc set i saw in this thread is verry cool

[itjclarke]

My first prewar HOF pickups were a '34 (not '33) Goudey Gehringer and a T206 Waddell pitching, and these sets were the foundation for my prewar interest. I've since completed the HOFer run in both sets (minus Plank/Wagner and the '33/'34 Lajoie). I'd like to finish the Goudey set someday (need a few more Scott Forrest lots for that to happen), but am in no hurry.. No desire to go after the full T206 set, but love both sets.

[71buc]

I only have eight of them but all are HOFers. I think the 33 Goudeys and the 34 Diamond Stars are the most attractive cards. The 33 Goudey Klein and Herman are beautiful and my favorites in that set.

I love this set!! Top and 2nd shelf in this pic have some of my goudeys... Sorry for the pour pic quality - am still learning how to post pics...

[dzolot]

Would love to complete this set in psa 5 ish level (and already have some of the big$$ cards) but would be a looooooong road!! I would be happy to have it done even without the nap... Great thread. Love to hear the significance of this set to so many collectors...

[WWGjohn]

I have a collector grade set minus both Gehrigs and Ruth's 53, 149, 181, and of course the Lajoie. I consider mine complete. When I win the lottery I'll fill in the missing pieces.

[dabigyankeeman]

Beautiful cards, i am a Yankee collector, and almost have the Yankee team set in 33 goudey. Just missing one Ruth (with the red background) and one of the 2 Gehrigs because i wont pay the money to buy two virtually identical cards.

Also have a few others in my Dodger and Giants and Jewish collections.

Lessor condition on the superstars, but i love them just the same.

Arnie here is a former member of all your teams Yankees,Dodgers & Giants
after failing as a pitcher, he posted only 4 full seasons as a hitter but 4
very impresive seasons, i think he still has the record for hits in the NL
oh well, can't uplode pics

[rc4157]

I was also brought back into card collecting by the '33 Goudey's, had never collected vintage until I was able to purchase a decent sized lot after a friend's dad had passed away. They are also the reason I eventually found this site.

Who were you gonna post? I can tell you one thing, New York has had 4 major teams, and as far as i can see, only 1 man has either played for or managed all 4 teams - Brooklyn Dodgers, NY Giants, NY Yankees and the NY Mets - Casey Stengel!!!! Too bad he didnt have a 1933 Goudey Card!!!

But tell me who you were gonna show me!!

Adding link to his career stats. I don't care if they played 198 games, 309 hits during the 1925 PCL season is pretty savage!! As are his post age 30 MLB hitting numbers.

When i was a youngster in the 60s and i used to check out old timers short
impresive careers i would wonder what wouild it been if he didn't try pitching.

[dabigyankeeman]

I forgot he had some plate appearances with the Yankees!!

A cool bargain for that set ...4500$. Wow low price

I'm ashamed I don't know more about him.. This makes me wanna learn more about the "why's" of his career path. I know he was a legend (player then manager) in the PCL, lasting long after his ML career was over. He played a big part in bringing baseball and Western goodwill back to Japan following WWII... But aside from that, his crazy stats and eating at his restaurant a few times, I don't know much about the man.

His age and stat line make me think of Roy Hobbs, minus the splotch of ketchupy blood and rapid demise

Very awesome to see one of my former cards in a good home. Thanks for sharing Tony :)

[RGold]

I have been working on the set for six years. Three cards from completion. Gehrig #160, Ott #127 and Lajoie #106. Ott just takes finding the right one. Gehrig and Lajoie just take some major bucks. :eek:

I still have a bunch of upgrades to do, mostly some surprisingly hard to find commons. And two Ruths. More major bucks. :eek:

WOW!!!!! That is an amazing group of cards!

[Big Ben]

Count me in! :) I am 67 cards into the set. (39 of the 67 are HOF'ers) For the most part, I am concentrating on the PSA 4 level, but will probably make some exceptions with the more expensive cards. --definitely will get a reprint Lajoie-- For the most part this seems to be a completable, but I am curious and have a question for the people whom have completed or almost completed this set. Are there any of the 33 Goudey cards that were more difficult to find? I am talking about commons and or star players aside from the obvious higher dollar cards.

[RGold]

Every card in the set can be found in mid grade quite easily. There is no reason not to be selective regarding price and eye appeal. This is not a set where you need to grab any old card because you might not ever see another one.

Filling a hole, and then upgrading, will just cost you more money than is necessary. Just be patient. :D:D:D

Nice Goudeys. Did you know that Billy Urbanski was born in Linoleumville, New York? My extensive research leads me to believe that the town may have been named after the floor covering linoleum. :eek:

I am now researching whether Floyd Vaughan and hall of famer Arky Vaughan are the same person. :rolleyes:

Who says that the Goudey set isn't interesting or mysterious enough. :D:D:D

[RGold]

I may be fighting a losing battle keeping this Goudey thread alive. :D

Nevertheless, here is one of my favorites, Hall of Famer "Sunny Jim" Bottomley.

[g_vezina_c55]

Ron, you goudey are amazing. You own the complete set in high grade like that?

[RGold]

No, still three away from completion, and about eighty upgrades wanted. Hope to see you score your Lajoie one day. I still need one too. :D:D:D

[GoudeyJim]

I never get tired of seeing these Goudeys. Keep them coming.
Jim

[RGold]

Jim, here is a low population first series common. The orange background is a favorite of mine.

Tommy Thevenow had only two career home runs, both inside the park and both in his signature season for the 1926 St. Louis Cardinals. He was credited with one more inside the park home run in the 1926 World Series when the official scorer refused to call Babe Ruth's misplay an error.

[Runscott]

I love the '33 set, but can't afford to start collecting it - I would want the ones that look like they were printed on higher-quality cardboard, as opposed to the brown ones that look like they are about to crumble.

I Only have two - Gehrig and yellow Ruth.

[GoudeyJim]

Ya, my budget is limited so I am sticking to presentable cards in the good range. I still love them. My Dad used to tell me stories about him buying these as a little kid. Too bad his Mom threw them away like so many other stories. I think that is where my love of these cards started.
Jim

[RGold]

Jim, I have discovered two nice size Goudey collections here in Kansas City. Both in fair to very good condition, but untouched since the 1930's. Most of the Big League Chewing Gum banners had been cut off. I have been told kids back then didn't want the advertisement on their cards. :eek::eek::eek:

By the way, many of the cards were off centered. When I see someone comment that a Goudey looks trimmed based solely on uneven borders, I know they have never been involved in a Goudey find.

[GoudeyJim]

Interesting, I had never heard that. I have noticed quite a few trimmed cards on eBay where the big league chew banner has been cut off. I have to keep reminding myself that these cards were just cardboard back then and not big money like now.

On a separate note, do you know of any place to look up the history of 33 Lajoie sales? I know you are searching for one and I am curious if I'll ever be able to afford my dream card.

Jim

[itjclarke]

Cardtarget is pretty handy.. Especially for sets like '33 Goudey that has lots of sales. There's a few past Lajoie sales in here..

I gotta say, between the wood boxes and the organization and the cards shown............this is one awesome post

[ecRich]

I completed my 1933 Goudey set (-#106) many years ago. Got a large group from a guy who auctioned his "find" at the early 1970's Labor Day show in S. California near Disneyland. I only needed the Lajoie a few years later when I came across one at a local flea market. The guy had a few '33s, some R337s, a US caramel and a nice Lajoie. He knew it had value and wanted around $1500 for it, which was a little below the going rate at the time. I couldn't pull the trigger so that's my why the hell didn't I buy it story.

[DeanH3]

Wow...some impressive cards here. I'm not a set collector but I really like this set and someday want to add a some HOF's like Foxx, Dean, Grove etc. I only have two, #144 Ruth and #92 Gehrig, as of now but hopefully that will change in time. Thanks for sharing.

Sean ,
How many signed Goudeys do you have?

Tony

[milkit1]

Hi tony
I have 180 different signed. With doubles I have over 300. Been collecting them since 1988 :)

[tonyo]

Pretty impressive and they look great in the album. How often are you able to add to your collection?

[milkit1]

the last few years have been really slow. There has been a real build up of vintage signed card collectors that started showing up about 6 years ago which is good for the value of what I have but bad for adding more. I did get about 8 last year but my goal of reaching 200 different is quickly fading. I managed to secure a complete Cubs team set signed and am a Al Simmons away from having a White sox set signed. Unbelievably, with 180 different I only not quite managed to complete two autographed team sets.

[milkit1]

I dont have much else great in my collection so I like whoring out these pics lol. Here's my Cubs signed team set.

Of the one's you don't have, how many do you know exist?

[milkit1]

They all exist minus earl clarke whom probably doesnt. He died in 37 and was a minor leaguer mostly.I have johnny welch whom was the third to die in the set.

[RGold]

Fantastic autographed Goudey cards! I especially like the ones signed before World War II.

You deserve a quadruple smiley for that collection. :D:D:D:D

[milkit1]

Thanks ronald! I would guess I have about fifty signed before ww2. I got all the players who were alive post 1988 through the mail. In fact I had so many 30s cards signed that if you have a signed thirties card of someone who died post 88 theres a good chance I was the one that got them. At one time I had twenty signed willis hudlin 33s :o

[freakhappy]

Sean, great stash of autos!!! You and Ron have a lot to be proud of with your collections, that's for sure!

Congrats to both of you!

[RGold]

They are both common, but I love Gehringer and Terry autographs if you have them to show here.

Which are your favorites?

Do you happen to know a simple way to find the date of death for the players sorted in order(too lazy to look them all up).

I attached some pics. For some reason I dont have one of the terry's scanned but the other and the gehringer are in there. I always liked the Benton card and hes tough as he died in 1950. Also Earl Whitehill as he was the first deceased one I ever bought ?(off Gar Miller in 1989 for $50 which was crazy money then!). :)

[milkit1]

Also, if I can ever find the Luke Sewell standing card signed I will have every player that died back to Dizzy Dean or 1974. Thats the next goal I hope to accomplish :)

Just looking at tat list I think Fred Frankhouse was the first player i got through the mail to pass away so i probably really got started in early 1989

[RGold]

Thanks for the list! Great, great collection.

[milkit1]

yeah I dont have a scan of his earlier throwing card but i do have it. They are somewhat common so Ill keep an eye out for ya if I see one come up :)

[Big Ben]

Sean, great stash of autos!!! You and Ron have a lot to be proud of with your collections, that's for sure!

Congrats to both of you!

+ 10,000!!! You both have fantastic collections! Thanks for sharing some pictures of your collection.

[itjclarke]

They are both common, but I love Gehringer and Terry autographs

Gehringer's signature is so classic and always perfectly consistent. I have his and the rest of the '35 Tigers on team signed ball (incl. Goslin, Greenberg, Cochrane), but wish I had some of those on Goudeys as well.

[ecRich]

Sean- Great cards and that list is a keeper that I will "save" for sure. I probably have about 40+ auto. 1933s. I do have the Al Simmons, but he is one of my favorite players, would like to get a Foxx someday. I know I have a L. Sewell port, which I assume you don't need, can look for the other one. Would be quite a challenge to put together the Yankee team set. Fun stuff
Rich

[tonyo]

Sean,

I gotta say that of all the collections I have seen on this site, your signed Goudey collection is probably my favorite!

Tony

[markf31]

In 2009, I started collecting again after a long hiatus. Bought an upper deck goudey box and eventually put together the base + sp set. While searching ebay for modern goudeys. I ran across some real ones and thought I should grab one just for fun. 1933 Goudey Travis Jackson was the first pre-war card I bought and launched me into pre-war collecting. I collected all the hofers (minus Lajoie and the 2nd Gehrig) in 09, 10, and 11. Then last summer I decided to go for the rest of the set.

As usual I'm in the raw "fair/good/vg" neighborhood

I'm now 15 shy for the set (counting Lajoie and a 2nd Gehrig) and my list of hofers to upgrade is at 16.


here's a photo with the Manush upgrade I just received from Jason in front of my hall of fame cheese box.

Love the wooden drawers Tony! In addition to collecting cardboard, I dabble in woodworking and I'm actually in the design phase of designing and building a desk that I'm going to incorporate small apothecary style drawers into like you have, to store cards in. I’m pretty excited about project and your pictures have provided a little extra motivation.

Thanks Mark,
I really love the shallow drawers for displaying the cards. I also love the glass fronts on most of the drawers in my cabinet http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?p=1083855#post1083855

[milkit1]

Thanks guys!
Rich you know I'm going to be bugging you now for a trade :)
Thanks tony! That cabinet is very classy btw. I have most of my cards in Tupperware containers lol

[GoudeyJim]

Love the signed Goudeys. Absolutely amazing! I am always on the lookout for a signed Hubbell or Goslin as these are my two favorite cards in the set. I imagine there are a few Hubbells out there but I haven't seen a Goslin.

Jim

[milkit1]

Thanks! I have both goslins and both hubbels. I attached a pic of o ne of the goslins. The other that I have is trimmed but better then nothing I guess. :)

Great cards Sean! I remember a couple of years ago, a poster asked about our wish lists, I made mine and then you had those cards (& they were signed!!!)
Congratulations on a fantastic collection.

Sean.
Did Joe Cronin sign that card twice?

Jim

[milkit1]

I think for some reason his wife might have signed it for him and then he signed it. Very weird as the top one doesnt look right. I have two signed this way.

[HOF Auto Rookies]

DID SOMEONE SAY autographed 1933 goudey?!!>
oh no one did :confused:
Well Ill say it then! :D

Whats weird is I prefer the cards with the Big League Chewing Gum ad yet the ones without I think have better art work :confused:

I did Sean ;)

[HOF Auto Rookies]

They are both common, but I love Gehringer and Terry autographs if you have them to show here.

Here is my '33 Gehringer, '33 Terry and '34 Terry. I only collect HOF signed Goudey's as I had stated on the first page of the post, and my collection can't even touch Sean's lol.

If intersted, I have several more on my website: www.hofautorookies.com

Thanks! Well you do have a gehrig which is more then I can say! Ill have to tally up how many hofers I have. Brb

[milkit1]

Looks like I've got forty signed 33 hofers. Unfortunately only seven of those passed away before 1970 so I still have a loooong way to go : /
24 to be exact

I have 23 HOF signed Goudey's, including dupes, nothing too difficult other than Cochrane maybe. Well, my Gehrig is an DeLong (though it's much tougher for a signed DeLong than Goudey ;))

[milkit1]

Awesome! That is killer!
If we are including dudes I'm going to have to recalculate ;)

[HOF Auto Rookies]

Awesome! That is killer!

Thank you, I certainly love it. 17 signed HOF'ers no dupes.

[milkit1]

I think the price on the gehrig was killer too. If that had been a goudey idajumped on it. My budget limits me though :)

[milkit1]

how many pre ww2 hof signed cards do you have total? I traded some pretty killer ones in the past to get Goudeys. At one time I had about 20 batter ups and well over 20 35 Goudeys. I loved getting those signed and hopefully those will turn up again for sale

[HOF Auto Rookies]

I think the price on the gehrig was killer too. If that had been a goudey idajumped on it. My budget limits me though :)

I've been watching it for so long, and I was able to get the funds from selling, and Gehrig signed cards are so fricken scarce, I had to. Would love a '34 signed Gehrig yellow

I believe I have about 50 from 1941 and earlier, a good bulk from Goudey's. if you have any more, please let me know ;). I've been looking to grab a few Batter Ups, those are very neat. Just picked a an Appling signed '34 that graded a 5, and I have a signed '33 Dickey that graded a 5 as well that I got for an absolute steal of $125 on the bay a few years ago

[MacDice]

After seeing all those signed 1933 Goudeys it makes my signed Rick Ferrell that I was going to post pale in comparison. A signed 1933 Averill is #1 on my want list right now...not that I could probably afford one

There is a signed 33 Averill on eBay right now (not my auction).

Averill isn't as much as you think, and please post the Ferrell!

Here it is, not the best scan. I got it in the early 1990's. Looking back, I wish I would have purchased a higher condition card to have him sign it.

That's a nice one mac!. I actually didnt even use cardboard when I mailed mine out to get signed lol

He was the pitcher that gave up Babe Ruth's 500th home run. :D:D:D

Has anyone ever seen or heard of any unopened 33 packs? This has always been a dream find of mine.

Here it is, not the best scan. I got it in the early 1990's. Looking back, I wish I would have purchased a higher condition card to have him sign it.

That's a good one!

Great posts and great cards! I have a modest collection. 93 cards. Mid grade mostly with a a few beaters. Several HOFers. This thread is inspiring me to go after more.

Gotta say I much prefer the red banners at the bottom over the ones without. As for the Lajoie I've never had much interest in it. I don't consider it part of either the 33 or 34 set. Sure I'd love to find one in a box of cards, but not something I would pursue.

Here's a couple of the Canadian version. One in English, one bilingual.

I agree on the Lajoie. If a card wasn't issued with the rest of the cards it shouldn't be considered part of the set. Maybe I feel this way because I'm going after the 33 set and can't afford a Lajoie.:D

Averill isn't as much as you think, and please post the Ferrell!

If you ever come across one or have one to sell, please send me a PM.

Any other 33 goudey Lajoie owner here ?

I've just started going through a collection that contains about 100 1933 Goudeys, including these signed examples. All autographs were obtained in person in Cooperstown.

Those are really nice. The condition of the cards is exceptionally nice too.

Awesome signed cards! It must have been incredible to get these signatures in person. Any interesting stories while getting the autos?
