Question about Goudey Vs. World Wide Gum

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>packs</b><p>Hey guys. I was wondering if there is any difference in scarcity or relative value between the Goudey and World Wide Gum sets. Are the Goudey's easier to find? Does it make a difference? Any premiums placed on the upper tier cards if they're WWG's instead of Goudeys? Are the WWG cards less desirable? Or is there really no difference at all?

Posted By: <b>Joseph Angus</b><p>I love picking up WWG's. although I am mainly a goudey collector I always look for the canadian goudey or world wide gum cards as well and can get them in high grade for a fraction of the cost of the same grade for an american goudey. <br><br>They are much rarer though. so the accessibility is not there to support real collectible growth. just try to complete a set, and you'll see what I am saying. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif">

Posted By: <b>packs</b><p>Thanks for the responses. Are the values for the upper tier cards relatively the same, or is there a drop off for the WWG's? I don't mean in high grade, just generally. Will a PSA 2 Gehrig Goudey run you about the same as a PSA 2 WWG?
